Lead your way with a unique MBA

Learn to do things differently

Griffith MBA is Australia’s leading MBA program with an embedded focus on values and sustainability. Awarded first place in the global Corporate Knights Better World MBA index for three years running, the Griffith MBA is a world-leading educational experience.

But we want to be known about much more than just our rankings. We want to help change the lives of our students – and those around them.

Our MBA is deliberately different. At Griffith, sustainability is not a standalone subject. Our students cover all the business essentials, but with sustainability integrated every step of the way.

You won’t just learn ‘accounting’, you’ll learn ‘accounting for accountability’. You won’t just study ‘strategy’, you’ll study ‘strategy for purpose’, ‘economics for a sustainable future’ and so on. Our courses are designed to inspire and ignite your passion for change.

Our MBA Director, Professor Stephanie Schleimer, says the Griffith MBA has created a transformative journey for thousands of business leaders.

“Our teaching touches their hearts and minds, and has a positive impact for their organisations, their communities and, most importantly, their personal lives.”

Live and work sustainably

Many of our students are passionately optimistic about the future. While each individual brings their own unique life story to the classroom, they all have one thing in common: everyone is motivated to make a difference.

Our Griffith MBA introduces a new way of thinking. We show you how to incorporate your personal sustainability and ethical values into your working life and sustainable business practises.

Professor Schleimer, says “we give our graduates a powerful and creative toolkit that allows them to integrate their own values and things they care about into their professional roles.

“Our Griffith MBA graduates help shape beautiful organisations that prioritise innovative and sustainable products and services.”

Craft your unique role

The Griffith MBA gives you the tools you need to shape your own professional role and impact.

You will discover courses and teachers who customise their extensive, practical knowledge across a range of industry sectors and businesses big and small, so that you can apply your learnings no matter what your work environment.

“The Griffith MBA program has helped me position myself in my organisation into a role where I can work and live in alignment with my values. I am able to meaningfully make change and have an impact in the way my company does business,” says Griffith MBA graduate and Sustainability Manager at Super Retail Group, Cara Turnley.

Kylie Fox, Head of Customer Banking, Auswide Bank Ltd., and another Griffith MBA graduate, agrees.

“I could not speak more highly of the Griffith MBA program and its care and focus on providing sustainable ways of working and living. I have been able to make real change in the organisation that I work at. And it has aligned to my own values and what I want to achieve in both my personal and my professional life.”

Drew Hebbron, Assistant Commissioner, Gold Coast Region, Queensland Ambulance Service, says the Griffith MBA has enhanced his leadership journey.

“We need contemporary approaches to sustainability in government and private sector entities. Since completing the Griffith MBA, I’ve had the knowledge and confidence needed to take advantage of many executive and senior executive opportunities that have really brought together my life and work experience.”
