Step into the future of business education with Torrens University Australia’s on-demand degree
In the relentless rat race of the business world, where the finish line seems non-existent, the pursuit of excellence never ends. CEOs, managers and would-be leaders search high and low for the golden key that unlocks the door to the next level of success. Among the many paths, one stands out for its proven impact on careers and organisations alike: the Master of Business Administration (MBA). But, in a life already stretched thin between meetings, milestones and the minutiae of management, how do you fit further education into a schedule already bursting at the seams?
Australia’s fastest-growing university has a solution. Since its inauguration in Adelaide in 2014 by US President Bill Clinton, Torrens University Australia has expanded from 165 students to 19,000+ across 124+ different nationalities. As well as campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane, its reach extends globally through prominent partnerships and as part of the broader Strategic Education, Inc. network. Billy Blue College of Design, Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, Think Education and New Zealand’s Media Design School also fall under its umbrella.
As a Certified B Corporation, the focus of this privately owned, for-profit institution goes beyond the bottom line to a greater social impact. Driven by the transformative power of education to change lives, communities and economies, they’re on a mission to democratise access to higher education so that learners from all walks of life have the chance to chase success, irrespective of their starting point.
It makes sense, then, that perhaps their most groundbreaking offering is more than just another academic programme; it’s a lifeline for the modern professional juggling the triple act of career, personal commitments and continuous learning. Launched in 2023, this self-paced qualification shatters the traditional shackles of higher education. Forget scheduled classes, lectures and scaffolded learning; the MBA (On Demand) is designed around an assessment-as-learning model, where resources are grouped thematically, allowing you to hop in and out of topics like ROI on your own terms.
And textbooks? Forget those, too. Learning resources such as videos, readings, screencasts, podcasts, discussion forums, and interactive activities are accessible at any time and from any corner of the globe. Aside from submitting assessments by the due date, this is a self-study programme you can fit into your busy lifestyle – much like how streaming services release entire seasons of your favourite shows all at once, sparing you the pain of waiting for weekly episodes. Unsurprisingly, this flexibility has not only attracted time-poor executives and working parents, but also students from countries all over the world, paving the way for global networking opportunities.
