MBA (INTERNATIONAL)
Build the foundations for a rewarding managerial career and lead the industries of tomorrow.
While MBAs traditionally focus on building a wide range of general management knowledge, recent graduates starting their careers often find they benefit from a specialised skillset in a particular industry or profession. Tailoring your MBA with a specialisation offers you the potential to become a leader in a number of high demand areas.
Expanding beyond the general management skills necessary to succeed within a rapidly changing world, our range of specialist MBA programs provide students with the opportunity to specialise in a particular area, further enabling them to accelerate their journey into leadership.
The MBA (International) offers students an opportunity to gain increased knowledge of the Australian business landscape, supporting them in excelling in their future career both win Australia, and globally, upon graduation.
By combining the benefits of a generalist degree with a specialisation, graduates will be well prepared for a rapid progression from entry into the workforce to a managerial position.

Job Opportunity Potential
There are three key steps you will need to take when addressing the selection criteria in any University of Adelaide job application:
- Create a new document. Your statement addressing the position’s specified selection criteria should be separate from your cover letter and resume.
- List each criterion separately. Give each a title, using exactly the same wording as appears on the Position Description (e.g. Excellent verbal communication skills).
- Address each criterion. Under each heading, write two short paragraphs explaining how your experience, skills, education and training equip you to meet that specific requirement. Dot points are also acceptable.
Please note that failing to submit a statement addressing the selection criteria could result in your application not being considered.
Some helpful writing tips
There are a number of steps you can take when putting together your responses to increase their clarity and impact.
- Give details of one or two specific things you’ve done that are good examples of the relevant experience or knowledge required. For example: ‘I was responsible for organising an event attended by… This involved…'
- Preface these examples with a short overview that shows you appreciate the relevance of the specific criterion.
- Quantify your experience (number of years worked, staff supervised, etc.). For example: ‘I delivered a presentation to an industry forum with an audience of 80 people.’
- Where possible, indicate how successfully you meet the criterion. You could do this by referring to feedback from others, or things you've set up that are still being used. For example: ‘A report I wrote about… was endorsed by the… Committee and circulated to all stakeholders for discussion.
You could also consider using the STAR method as a structural framework when describing examples of your work. This involves describing, in the order listed here, the:
- situation you faced
- task required, and desired outcome
- action you took to complete the task
- results you achieved, and lessons you learned.
