Interview was a pretty casual affair, more of an informal conversation. Be sure to keep a copy of your admission essays close at hand, for some of the questions were similar. All d best for 03 Oct !!

Hi Guys,
I had an interview few days ago, it was pretty friendly and casual, mostly common questions like why MBA, why MBS, and also question based on experience and future plans.

Good luck!

Hello all. I applied for MBS (aug'17) intake just last week. The only thing I have received is an acknowledgement so far. Congratulations to all who got an interview call / admit :)

Guys, I can't see any Jan intake for MBS's fulltime MBA. Does it even exist or its a typo in the thread's name?

Hello Everyone,

I am in my last rounds of my GMAT preparation and in the the process of researching the schools that suits me. I have shortlisted MBS as one of my choices. :) I would like to know about the post grad visa options that are available for an International student. I have searched and found that work permits require 2 years of study in Australia? Is it true? Could you guys please enlighten me on this?

Thanks

Hello @dnalost

The 2yr post study work visa is called subclass 485. You can only get it if you do a 2yr course. The standard MBS MBA won't get you that. If you are looking at a post study visa, please consider a dual degree program at MBS. Cheers!

Thanks Arkay for the feedback.
So there are no other ways to get a post MBA visa to work in Aus? So does the international students who usually do MBS MBA return back to their countries once the course is over?
