Your CSP Pathway to an MBA: an Innovative Solution to your MBA Aspirations

Looking for an MBA that’s tailored to IT — without the full fee price tag?

If you’re an IT professional considering CSP pathway to an MBA, you may already know Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) can significantly reduce the cost of postgraduate study. While CSPs aren’t available for our MBA program, there’s a smart way to unlock the savings. The Graduate Certificate in Computing (Career Transition) is CSP-eligible — and every subject in it counts directly toward our MBA. That means you can complete one-third of your MBA at a fraction of the cost, and start your postgraduate journey with serious momentum.

What is a Commonwealth Supported Place and how can it help you save?

CSPs are subsidised by the Australian Government, meaning eligible domestic students only pay a portion of the cost of each subject. While our MBA is full-fee, the Graduate Certificate in Computing (Career Transition) is one of the few postgraduate IT programs we offer that qualifies for CSP.

_{(Pricing as of 2025 – subject fees are based on 8pt subject in Band 2. Subjects in higher bands cost more accordingly)}

By starting with the GCCCT, you can save more than $11,000 on your MBA — completing one-third of the course for a fraction of the cost. It’s an ideal option for professionals who want to start strong and spend smart.
