If you need, you can take a break from your study at any time, for any reason, and continue when you're ready.

Study from anywhere in the world, and sit your exams at a time that suits you - at any one of 350 EBS centres around the world.

Pre-requisites

Most MBA programs require an undergraduate degree or significant management experience. EBS is different.

If you do not have an existing undergraduate degree or management experience, you can still qualify for the EBS MBA by completing the Postgraduate Certificate of Business Administration - which has no pre-requisites.

The three modules in the Postgraduate Certificate course form part of the full MBA program. Upon completion, you can choose to exit with that qualification, or complete the remaining six modules required to gain the MBA.

Contact a SEEK Learning consultant now for more information.


Exit Qualifications

You work towards your MBA on a module-by-module basis. After completing three modules, you're eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration, and after six modules, you're eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration.

You can exit with either of these qualifications - which provide formal recognition of your progress - or continue on to gain your MBA.
