The Graduate School of Business (GSB) is located in the Perth CBD  and offers generalist business courses and research programs including the Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma in Business and our highly ranked Master of Business Administration (MBA)  and our Master of Leadership and Management (MLM).

Postgraduate courses are higher degrees, certificates and diplomas designed for those who already hold a degree or those who may not have been to University at all previously, but have substantial work experience.

"I use various strategies to get students to think creatively and engage actively in the learning process. Critical thinking and reasoning skills are encouraged through free discussion. I also share my research experience and knowledge learned from industry leaders and let students comment on the issues reported."

Dr Sandy Chong
Lecturer in Internet Marketing
