(uplifting music)
- Today I want to tell you a bit about our graduate school,
Melbourne Business School, the programs that we offer,
and our unique student experience.
Welcome everybody.
My name is Paul Jensen, and I'm the Deputy Dean here
in the Faculty of Business and Economics
at the University of Melbourne.
We are proud to be consistently ranked
as a leading university
for our professional business management
and leadership education.
Melbourne Business School
and the Faculty of Business and Economics
are highly regarded within the education sector
for the quality of our teaching,
our contributions to research and policy, and connections
to the City of Melbourne, government, and industry.
As a member of the Principles
for Responsible Management Education Initiative,
we are also committed to solving global challenges
through our teaching, research, and activities.
We want to equip our students to drive responsible
and transformative change in creating a brighter future.
Melbourne Business School provides you
with a holistic experience that goes beyond the classroom.
We have programs that cater for early career
and post experience professionals
designed to help you upskill
or take you in a new direction.
Melbourne Business School offers coursework in areas
such as accounting, actuarial studies, economics,
finance, management, marketing, and more.
Our academics are doing world class research today,
which you will learn about in class tomorrow.
So as an MBS student, you will get the opportunity to learn
from some of the best academics in their field.
Melbourne Business School welcomes and values
the unique contribution of people from all backgrounds.
The diversity of our student body is a real asset.
Many of our graduates work globally
or for large global brands,
and are getting an international perspective
within their studies and project work.
Our programs have been designed with a range
of work-integrated learning and experiential opportunities.
These will help you to connect with peers and industry,
and develop job ready skills
through hands-on learning experiences.
For instance, you can connect with industry
through internships, case competitions,
or a Business Practicum subject.
You can explore new ways of design thinking
in the Business Innovation Lab, or pitch your startup idea
to a panel of experts, and compete for support
to make it a reality.
You can partake in student exchange,
meaning your learning experience is truly international.
We also have a range of student clubs and societies,
career and peer mentoring programs,
and host numerous industry events throughout the year.
Our students have gone on to have fascinating careers.
For example, we've had graduates go on to lead
innovative startups, work in social impact
and sustainability careers,
top tier accounting and consultancy firms,
state and federal government,
and the non-governmental sector.
There's really no limit to where your degree
from Melbourne Business School can take you.
We offer a range of graduate scholarships
based on academic merit and diversity, that are designed
to support high-achieving applicants
as well as providing opportunities for students.
Scholarships are available to international students
and domestic students,
including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.
Your connection to Melbourne Business School
doesn't stop after you graduate.
We have a large and active alumni community in Australia
and overseas, ensuring you'll have opportunities
to meet and connect with other graduates.
