Take the journey with us

Embark on a path of study that will enable you to make connections between what you learn in the classroom, what you to do in your workplace and our rapidly changing global business environment.

The University of Western Australia (UWA) has been offering its MBA program in Manila since 2002 through an exclusive partnership with the Esteban School and the Australian Institute for Higher Education (AIHE). Courses are taught in Manila by UWA professors who travel to Manila to personally conduct classes. The program is held on evenings and weekends and is designed for working professionals who want to pursue their MBA degree while continuing to grow and excel in their careers. Local mentors are engaged for each subject to support the visiting professors and to contribute Filipino perspective, content and application. This ensures that the program is global in perspective and locally relevant.

Make an impression

Ultimately, the knowledge, competencies and self-belief you develop will make you a more complete leader. The UWA MBA is a transforming experience preparing and motivating you to take hold of new opportunities.

UWA’s MBA degree will prepare you for any Management responsibility your career will bring you. Whether you are a leader in a large corporation or manage your own business either in the Philippines or overseas, UWA’s internationally recognized degree will be your passport to global business opportunities

The outstanding quality of our students

While it’s difficult to summarize the breadth and depth of the student’s fraternity, you will be joined by engineers, doctors, environmentalists, corporate financiers and small business owners, to name just a few. All students bring with them their own work experiences which heighten the classroom learning for all. These are your fellow travelers each journeying on a different but parallel road. There are many paths you can take with us, but there is one common purpose. Through making strong connections between what you learn and who you study with, and by building up your abilities and confidence (even before you graduate) we begin to help you make a discernible and positive impression. Our students use their newly acquired skills, knowledge and self-confidence to achieve in their ‘real world’ careers in business and government.
