Initially, I wasn’t sure if it was a good opportunity compared to an internal project, but I’m glad I went with the internship because I had a wonderful experience.

Reflecting on my journey in the Diploma of Information Technology Networking course, I recall the initial challenges I encountered while grasping the material and completing assignments. However, your teaching prowess, interactive teaching style, and knack for making intricate topics engaging transformed my learning experience. Your commitment to fostering unity among students and your relentless pursuit of excellence distinguish you as an exceptional educator.
Currently I am pursuing my MBA with the Victorian Institute of Technology as an offshore student. I am highly impressed and delighted with the lecturers, and the accessibility to the library and resources helps me to do my research and study effectively. I am very happy that I study with VIT.

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) course is accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), the regulator of higher education and the accrediting authority for higher education courses in Australia. You may look up the National Register for this course. VIT is registered by TEQSA to offer and confer Australian higher education award for the completion of an accredited Australian course of study – MBA.
The qualification conferred upon completion is recognised by the Australian Government and will provide you with a competitive edge in the job market, both in Australia and overseas.
Full time means you study 6-8 units in an academic year. Part time gives you the flexibility to take a lighter course load, which gives many working people more flexibility. Part time study is only available to students not on student visa. It is estimated each unit could take between 6 and 10 hours each week of classes, readings and assignments. This can vary depending on how quickly a student becomes familiar with the course material.
A full course load of 16 units is expected to take 2 years of full time study. However, you may be eligible for recognised prior learning (RPL) based on your education and work experience.
Yes, if you have at least 5 years professional, managerial or supervisory experience. You are first enrolled in our graduate certificate of business administration (GCBA, the first four units of our MBA) and on successful completion, you may progress to finish the rest of the MBA curriculum.
The business world is becoming increasingly complex. We believe our students need to be armed with a wider range of knowledge than others so they are more employable and can better face the challenges of tomorrow. Harvard University started the world’s first MBA in 1908 where students still undertake a 2 year degree. Why would we deviate from best practice? Most 12 unit MBA courses do not have specialisation electives. At VIT though, we offer students the opportunity to specialize in one of the following areas – Leadership and Management, Information Systems, Finance, Tourism and Hospitality Management – which provides for far more in-depth knowledge of these areas.
All Australian accredited degrees are approved by the Australian Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency. So, the VIT MBA is academically equivalent to any other institution in Australia and around the world.
Not all units are offered at any time. You may choose elective units from those scheduled in the timetable in a particular study period.
Financial aid may be available depending on your circumstances and where you are resident.
Domestic students may be eligible for Fee-HELP from the Government and could be eligible for a VIT Scholarship
Please contact our team at [email protected] for further information.
If you have a recognised bachelor’s degree in business (AQF7 equivalent) or related discipline, or a recognised bachelor’s degree or above in any discipline and at least 2 years professional, managerial or supervisory experience, you may be eligible to receive credit for recognised prior learning. However, your academic qualifications must be 10 years old or less to be recognised. The VIT RPL committee will assess RPL applications on a case-by-case basis.
We understand it is a big decision to pursue an MBA and you may not be sure if you have the time or feel suited for it. That’s understandable and natural, and we’re here to help. Each intake period we have a limited number of 5 equity places available for eligible applicants to enrol in one unit. This gives you the opportunity to sit in on the Strategic Marketing class, for free, no obligations. Just soak up knowledge and learn. If you decide though after 5 weeks that you would like to participate in assessments, you can pay a $250 assessments fee. You may be granted a 3 week extension to complete your assessments at the discretion of the course co-ordinator. If later you decide to pursue an MBA with us and want to receive credit for the unit taken, a $750 credit fee will be payable
You are considered a 'domestic' student if:
You are an Australian citizen; You are a New Zealand citizen (or dual citizenship holders of either Australia or New Zealand); You are an Australian permanent resident; You are an Australian permanent humanitarian visa holder;
If you don’t hold one of the above visas or citizenships, you are considered as an international student.
The courses on TEQSA’s National Register that are accredited with the same name indicate different versions of the same course. The course that is accredited to 2025 is the original version of the course which is now being taught out for those students who enrolled in the course prior to 2024 and have chosen to stay in that version of the course – there are no new enrolments into this version of the course from 2024 onward.
The course accredited to 2030 is the new version of the course for all new enrolments from 2024 and for those students from the previous offering who have chosen to transition to this version of the course.
