Master of Business Administration

Industry experiences are
waiting for you.

The MBA Future Business gives you the chance to work directly with industry, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to understand the inner workings of real workplaces. Whether it’s a large corporation, government department or small business, you’ll be able to take these experiences - including specialised industry entrepreneurial programs - with you through your future career journey, helping you to form a new outlook on business.

Internships, placements and projects.

Learning in a real business setting is highly valued by employers and students alike, and we’ve built our MBA courses around it. Flinders University is well-connected to industry, so our range of internship, placement and project opportunities are the best way to fast-track your career – you could even find yourself in a paid internship as part of the course.

Defence Entrepreneurship Program.

Flinders University is proud to be the first university in South Australia, and the second in the country, to offer the Defence Entrepreneurship Program (DEP). Forming part of our MBA Future Business, the DEP is a landmark program that will see students learn how to use modern innovation tools and techniques to address real national security and intelligence issues. It is based on the Hacking for Defense ® (H4D) program created in the US in 2016 by Steve Blank, founder of the Lean Startup movement; Joe Felter, a retired Army Colonel; and Peter Newell, CEO of BMNT.

Innovative Manufacturing Accelerator.

Experience the Innovative Manufacturing Accelerator (IMA) as part of your course. This specialised industry entrepreneurial program is focused on helping small to medium enterprises address business challenges using advanced manufacturing tools and techniques – also known as industry 4.0. It combines the best of the university’s world-class advanced manufacturing and prototyping capabilities with access to academics and researchers, and will feature interactive workshops, coaching, technical support, mentor guidance and more.

FOMENT

FOMENT works in two ways: technological acceleration, and technological adoption. Engage with both as part of your MBA, with the program offering intensive acceleration to existing wine and tourism technology companies that are innovative and ready to scale up, and pairing them with businesses who will use their products and services. FOMENT is also intended to speed up technology adoption by wine and tourism businesses by connecting them with more technology solutions.
