The Federation MBA will consolidate your professional experience. It will challenge the way you think about business, decision making and your own management style - giving you the perspective and experience to succeed in senior roles, no matter what discipline you're coming from.Tailored to meet the demands of the community, while also maintaining a global perspective on modern organisational changes, our revised curriculum is focused on developing leaders who are agile, decisive, innovative and ethically responsible. 

Our cohort-based approach to learning means you'll study with the group of people throughout the entire program, and potentially work alongside them after you graduate. 

Flexibility and convenience are built into our MBA, from the way it's taught to where our campus is located. Importantly, we know that balancing study, work and life can be difficult, which is why we offer a blended mode of learning. Here's how this works:

  • Over 18 months, you'll complete one course at a time over a six week period (except your project).
  • During this period, you are expected to attend a number of full-days of classes in a face-to-face mode and/or via the Connected Classroom learning and teaching strategy.
  • As part of each 15-credit point subject, you will have 24 hours of face-to-face facilitated time through four full day classes over a six - week period. 
  • In this modality, you will be supported with teachers and/or facilitators with a wide range of expertise. 
  • These courses offer flexibility between self-directed learning opportunities, innovative pedagogy, authentic assessment and breadth that can be tailored to areas of interest.

If you're offered a Commonwealth Supported Place, your fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.

Your fees (student contribution) are set on an annual basis by the government and are determined by the discipline area and band of your individual enrolled courses, not the overall program.  Each course (subject) falls into a band which determines the student contribution amount.

2023 annual student contribution amounts for 1 EFTSL (equivalent full-time student load) range between $4,124 Band 1 to $15,142 Band 4.  To find the Band, EFTSL and contribution amount for each course, check the Sample structure or refer to the 2023 subject listing.

Fees are adjusted on an annual basis and the indicative amount should be used as a guide only. It is based on a typical enrolment for a student undertaking the first year of study in this program. For 0.5 EFTSL (60 credit point) programs the certificate fee is displayed. Total cost will vary depending on the courses you choose, your study load, the time it takes to complete your program and any approved credit you receive.

Fee assistance

You may be eligible for a HECS-HELP loan, which can be used to defer payment of all or part of your student contribution.  You may also be eligible to defer payment of your SSAF through a SA-HELP loan.
