Want to study an MBA but don’t have the work background or the grades? Here’s your alternative route — transfer straight into second year at an emerging top Australian university!



When it comes to the MBA, the first word that springs to mind is prestigious! MBA stands for the Master of Business Administration, and it has always been one of the most popular fields for study abroad.


However, what puts many students off is that most MBA programmes require applicants to have management-related work experience or a GMAT score before they can even apply.


But the good news now is that for students whose undergraduate results don’t meet the requirements, and who don’t have a GMAT score or work experience, these students now also have a chance to study an MBA!


ICMS


Graduate Certificate in Business

After studying at ICMS forGraduate Certificate in Busines half a year, upon successful completion you go straight into the second semester of the UTS MBA, and the subjects taken during the GC can be credited in full towards the whole of UTS’s first semester!


The best part is that applicants can receive a Graduate Certificate and MBA package offer directly, with no need to apply again.



The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) was ranked 133rd in the world and 9th in Australia in the 2021 QS World University Rankings, and 11th in the world in the 2020 QS Top 50 Under 50, ranked 51-100th in the world for Finance & Accounting in the 2020 QS subject rankings, and 51-100th in the world for Law in the 2020 QS subject rankings.



The International College of Management, Sydney

(ICMS) is a highly-regarded institution of higher education. Founded in 1996, the college’s campus culture places strong emphasis on innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit, blending management theory with practical training. Its newest campus is in the Sydney CBD, just a short walk from UTS.

Graduate Certificate in Business (referred to as GCM)


Entry requirements: an Australian or Chinese bachelor’s degree; no relevant background or work experience required
Intake dates: intakes in February/May/September each year, linking respectively to UTS’s MBA second-semester start dates in July/November/February
Tuition: AUD $14,000

 

Programme advantages:
Time-saving! Only three and a half months are needed to complete four subjects, whereas UTS requires 4-5 months
Cost-saving! Compared with UTS tuition, you save up to $6,000 over the half-year
High progression rate! As long as you pass all four GCB subjects (no specific grade requirement), and the fail rate doesn’t exceed 25%, you can progress into UTS
High flexibility! There’s no need to choose a major while studying the GCB — you decide your major only once you enrol at UTS (e.g. accounting, marketing, international trade, finance, financial analysis)
Peace of mind! Once students accept the GCB offer, they receive a packaged COE from both ICMS and UTS, and can use both COEs to apply directly for a two-year student visa
