     REAL CAREER OUTCOMES
     To provide you with the most valuable learning experience, we have a highly practical
     approach to MBA study.

     You’ll have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learnt in real-life business scenarios,
     which can include your present workplace or business.

                                                    “A couple of months ago I received a promotion at
                                                    work, and it was a role that I was angling for such
                                                    a long time. I think the reason that I was successful
                                                    in getting that role was because I was able to
                                                    demonstrate that I was committed to learning, and had
                                                    that discipline around continuously challenging myself.
                                                    The MBA absolutely opened up those doors for me.”

     “I would definitely attribute my successes to the MBA.
     As soon as I finished my MBA, I was promoted to a
     higher role with my previous employer and I had to
     move to Brisbane. After a year, I had to move to Perth
     for a senior position, and I don’t think that any of that
     would have been possible without having the MBA.”

“A lot of my career success has come as a result
of my MBA. I don’t think I would have got a job
at Coca-Cola if I didn’t have an MBA. That was
a spearhead to get me into Lion.”

                                         “The learning material at AIB encourages independent
                                         research and understanding of the subject matter
                                         related to real-world scenarios. I have learned more
                                         in my first three subjects than I did in the five years
                                         of my undergraduate degree.”

“I’ve got 25 years of work experience, but the MBA
gave me more confidence to apply for other roles,
which has now placed me in the position I am now,
which is national Business Development Manager.”
