The University of Western Australia’s Business School has retained its top ranking in Western Australia for its Master of Business Administration program.

UWA’s Business School has one of the leading MBA programs in Australia and was ranked sixth in the Oceania region in the Global MBA QS rankings for 2025.

The rankings are based on employability, return on investment, entrepreneurship and alumni outcomes, thought leadership, and class and faculty diversity.

UWA MBA Director Professor Allan Trench said he was delighted to see the program continue to achieve the top ranking in Western Australia, as well as gain two places in the Oceania region.

“The quality of our MBA students and alumni are the best measure of the program’s success and impact,” Professor Trench said.

“These rankings highlight our graduates’ outstanding contributions to leadership, innovation, business education and industry.”

UWA’s MBA helps develop the knowledge, skills and networks required to transition into senior leadership roles in the global business landscape.

The University’s internationally accredited Business School has a global reputation for delivering outstanding postgraduate and MBA courses.

“As the MBA Director it is my job to ensure that the UWA MBA program inspires students each year and equips them with practical business skills so the next generation of industry decision-makers can reach their full potential,” Professor Trench said.

The University’s MBA program is the longest-running in WA, with more than 50 years of proven success and thousands of high-achieving alumni.

The Global MBA Rankings highlight the best MBA programs around the world. The data is based on three surveys; the QS Global Employer Survey, the QS Global Academic Survey and a survey completed by the business schools.
