We are proud to be recognised among the Top 10 MBA providers nationally, as reported in MBA News. This distinction affirms our ongoing commitment to supporting the success of each new generation of aspiring entrepreneurs. A key driver of this achievement is the growing preference among business-focused students for independent institutions such as GCA (trading as UBSS), which offer specialised, practice-oriented programs over the more generalised offerings of traditional public universities.
At the core of our success is a curriculum centred on practical business knowledge, designed to equip students with the professional competencies needed to advance their careers. Our strong performance in the national MBA rankings reflects this commitment, with particularly high enrolment among international students—placing us within the Top 5 MBA providers in Australia for international enrolments.
We recognise the value of a diverse and balanced student cohort and are committed to providing quality business education to aspiring professionals both in Australia and abroad. Since 2017, we have experienced sustained and significant growth in our MBA enrolments—growing from 643 students in 2017 to over 3000 students in 2025. This upward trajectory highlights the confidence students place in the standard of education delivered at GCA.
As we continue to build on this momentum, we look forward to welcoming more students into our globally respected MBA program. Further insights into the growth of the MBA market in Australia can be found at MBA News below.
We are proud to be ranked among the Top 5 MBA providers in Australia for international students—a testament to our strong global reputation and the enduring quality of our programs. As Australia continues to be recognised worldwide for its excellence in higher education, this achievement reinforces our ability to support a growing cohort of aspiring international entrepreneurs in reaching their academic and professional goals.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for Australian MBA programs among international students, with GCA emerging as a leading choice. Our consistent enrolment growth reflects this trend: in 2016, we welcomed 349 international students into our MBA program, and by 2025, this number has grown to over 1500 international students.
This Top 5 ranking enhances our visibility among prospective international business students and strengthens our mission to deliver a high-quality, industry-relevant MBA education tailored to the needs of a global student body.
