Executive MBA

"I contemplated the idea of doing an MBA for three years. Constantly in my mind were questions of value for money, which institution should I attend and how will I fit further education into my busy life?

I eventually took the plunge and enrolled in Bond University’s EMBA program in 2009. Having now completed the course, I can categorically state that I received great value for money, I chose a remarkable institution that focused on the vital business issues of innovation and entrepreneurial activity.

I have significantly changed my employment conditions since graduating. I have started my own business full of confidence that I have the skills to identify commercial opportunities. I am constantly using both the academic principles I learnt during the course as well as recalling classmate’s experiences and group learnings. My personal network has been enhanced and my skills have been dramatically improved.

I would encourage anyone who has entrepreneurial flair, values innovation, a desire to start a new business or improve an existing business to enrol in Bond’s EMBA program. My improved business acumen has directly led to two fold savings inside my business less than a year after graduation. An EMBA is an investment in yourself. Commit the time and effort and the rewards will be great."
