A Milestone Towards an MBA

The Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration qualifies you for entry into EBS's highly respected, recognised MBA program.

The six modules in this course form part of the full MBA program, so upon completion, you can choose to:

• Exit with this qualification
• Complete three more modules to gain the Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Alternatively, if you've completed a core module and two elective modules, and wish to stop studying, you can exit this course with the Postgraduate Certificate in Business Administration qualification.

Affordable Study

EBS courses can be more affordable than other major postgraduate courses, including other distance education offerings. This is especially true for Permanent Residents and others not eligible for government FEE-HELP.
