The Australian Graduate School of Management (AGSM) is part of the UNSW Business School at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), in Sydney. The School offers general management, executive and leadership development programs.
AGSM offers MBA, MBA (Executive), MBT degrees and executive education programs in Australia, in Hong Kong, and online. For many years the school's MBA program has been ranked by the Financial Times as the best in Australia.
In 1977, UNSW established the AGSM as New South Wales' second school of postgraduate management studies. In January 1999, the AGSM and the Graduate School of Business of the University of Sydney merged under the AGSM brand. In November 2005, the universities demerged their business schools and the AGSM reverted to wholly UNSW ownership.
One year later, UNSW merged the AGSM with the UNSW Faculty of Commerce and Economics, creating the Faculty of Business (later the Australian School of Business).
In mid-2007, the faculties physically combined, and moved into UNSW's newly renovated Heffron Building, which UNSW renamed the UNSW Business School Building.
In 2011 Professor Chris Styles was appointed as Deputy Dean and Director AGSM, and the Master of Business & Technology program was added to AGSM offering. In June 2014, Professor Julie Cogin was appointed Director of AGSM, following the elevation of Professor Styles to Dean of the UNSW Business School.
The AGSM offers a full-time MBA program in Sydney which generally takes 16 months to complete. Additionally, students can complete a part-time AGSM Executive MBA program throughout Australia, an AGSM Graduate Certificate in Change Management, and a range of executive education programs. In 2015 a new "MBAX" suite of online programs were launched.
Rankings of the AGSM's MBA program include the following:
The main campus is located at the University of New South Wales in Randwick, a suburb of Sydney. The AGSM building houses teaching facilities, administrative services, a common room, computer labs and syndicate rooms. It also has accommodation facilities for students in the part-time program and for visitors.
