CAREERS

Your Master of Business Administration career outlook

We understand that the MBA is ultimately an investment to advance your goal of getting a new job, or that promotion, or career change.

Non specialisation MBA degrees can lead to a lot of flexible career paths such as banking and finance, management consultancy, consumer brands (e.g. P&G, Unilever) and IT (e.g. Amazon, Afterpay).

Those who specialise might have their sights set on industries they are already in or professions they are interested in. For example, a hotel employee doing an MBA specialisation in tourism and hospitality might have their eye on one day becoming general manager of their hotel.

Our teaching staff support you throughout your degree to help you understand the job market, where the current opportunities are and what strategies will help you.

The VIT coordinator for industry engagement has contacts with various partners and can help students seeking work upon graduation.
