Course Overview
The ANU MBA is a two-year full-time program based in Canberra at the ANU College of Business and Economics. Designed for working professionals with at least two years’ experience, it blends core management with electives in policy, public sector strategy and Indo-Pacific business — reflecting ANU’s strength in government and international affairs.
Sri Lankan applicants benefit from ANU’s small cohort size (typically under 60 students), which means direct access to faculty and a tight peer network. Canberra’s lower cost of living vs. Sydney/Melbourne also stretches the LKR budget further across the two years.
