After selling Youthworks in 2005, the strategic thinking skills that I have learned in my MBA have assisted me in re-launching the business in 2007. Martin Haese, Managing Director Retail IQ, Founder of Youthworks |
I am grateful to all the staff at Gibaran for a thoroughly enjoyable and invaluable experience. My career has since progressed to levels I thought unachievable not so long ago. Professionally, I am far better equipped to meet the challenges of the work place and the networks I have formed have proved to be of great value as well, both professionally and socially.

This MBA maintains the closest link between theory and practice. I will be a better manager once I graduate. Brett Buckley, General Manager, Eastern Waste Management Authority Inc. |
Access to various staff at Gibaran has been extremely prompt and helpful. I often ask questions and get feedback from the student administration team and study supervisors. I also find the Pro-quest online library and student forum, a great way to access materials, ideas and tips from other staff, students and from the lecturers of my course.
