According to Financial Times, Melbourne Business School is #1 business school in Australia for MBA.
- MBA at AGSM is typically a 16-month program whereas MBA at Melbourne Business School is typically a 2-year program but can be fast-tracked to finish in around 12 months.
- Students at AGSM have the option of doing an MBA (Extension) where they can further develop their skills by undertaking a research project or a Work Integrated Learning project.
- Students at Melbourne Business School have the option of doing a Master of Marketing Course along with their MBA, and completing both in a time span of 24 months.
- Melbourne Business School offers more electives than AGSM and hence more specializations.
- Even though the employment rate for both schools is similar, Melbourne Business School graduates had a higher salary increase of 74%, compared to 62% for AGSM graduates.
- Both schools provide a good number of scholarships.
- Both business schools conduct exchange programs with other partner B-schools around the world.
- The average age of students at AGSM was 31 while that of students at Melbourne Business School was 29, as admission to AGSM requires more work experience than MBS.
Both schools provide for an immersive business experience, due to their being located in popular cities, and are being part of two of the topmost universities in Australia. It is difficult to state that one is better than the other because they both have pros and cons, and ultimately the choice will depend on what kind of experience you are looking for.
