whats the point in comparing, go in get degree, get out, get job, pay debts..whats there to compare...truthfully, i chose QUT cause they offer me 2 years instead of 3 from UQ for my mech degree, period....in the end if the cert is recognized and able to land u the job u one, who cares...

The undisputed best BSchools in Aussie are AGSM and MBS. But we should give credit to QUT's BGSB because its not easy to obtain even one accredition let alone all three thats why they are called "Triple Crown" Business Schools and there are only a handful of them around the world. Its also very expensive to maintain those accreditions.

But accreditions are just like our certifications proving that the business school has meet a certain standard and quality in their pedagogy and research. QUT is not the world best or in the same tier as MBS and AGBS but you can considered it as one of the better schools in Australia.


Australia MBA Rankings 2007

1 Australian Graduate School of Management
2 Melbourne Business School
3 Macquarie Graduate School of Management
4 Brisbane Graduate School of Business
5 University of Queensland
6 University of Adelaide
7 Curtin University of Technology
8 University of Technology Sydney
9 University of South Australia (International GSM)
10 RMIT University

In a country where there is even ranking for kindergardens its only natural for us to look at rankings but we should do so with an open mind. Besides, Business graduate school is totally different level from undergraduate and the above ranking only represents MBA.

sorry, I hijacked this thread.

AMBA accredition got nothing to do with undergrad.

how hard to obtain such accredition? expensive I agree, difficult I doubt so, of course depend on which Uni.
seem like there are Uni that don't care for them else there will be a whole lot more.

I love GetaBlue style, fast and cheap is important. ppl in Singapore heard of it is key.
go a Ulu triple crown Uni in Europe what for, cheap, sadly ppl locally might go huh!
