You may be eligible to apply if you meet the following criteria:

  • Have you completed a two-year diploma, advanced diploma, bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional qualification?
  • Do you have at least five years of professional, industry, business, entrepreneurial or community experience?
  • Have you held supervisory, management, leadership or organisational responsibilities?

American Management University recognises that significant business knowledge, management capability, leadership expertise and professional competence may be developed through many years of education, employment, entrepreneurship, business ownership, industry practice and community service.

The Honorary MBA Recognition Program provides experienced professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, industry leaders and community contributors with an opportunity to have their achievements formally evaluated.

The evaluation may consider:

  • Previous academic and professional qualifications
  • Length and level of professional, industry or business experience
  • Management, leadership and supervisory responsibilities
  • Entrepreneurial achievements and business development activities
  • Professional accomplishments and organisational contributions
  • Innovation, research, publications or knowledge development
  • Contributions to productivity, quality and organisational improvement
  • Business, economic, social or community impact
  • Awards, professional memberships and other evidence of distinction

Applicants are invited to submit their curriculum vitae, educational certificates, professional credentials and supporting evidence through the application form for an initial eligibility evaluation.

Following the assessment, eligible applicants may be considered for an Honorary Master of Business Administration award in recognition of their distinguished professional achievements, business leadership, management expertise and contributions to their industry, organisation or community.

Important Information

An Honorary Master of Business Administration is a recognition-based award. It is different from an earned Master of Business Administration qualification completed through formal academic coursework, assessments and examinations.

The honorary award does not represent completion of a formally accredited MBA program unless this is expressly confirmed by the university and the relevant accreditation or regulatory authority.

Applicants seeking an earned MBA qualification should apply through the university’s formal postgraduate admissions pathway.

Submit your application and supporting documents to begin the confidential eligibility evaluation process.
