MBA from Queensland university

If you already have a PR for Australia I think it makes more sense to study and work there as you know Post MBA work permit and visa is a big issue now a days for most candidates and it makes it harder to find jobs.

So, you have an advantage their in case of Australia.
The education system in Australia is not the problem, its just the way things are ranked and depending on faculty, how many international students come there, post MBA careers and stuff, rankings are dependent on all of that.
Australia is traditionally not known for lot of business oriented culture but its changing now, that may be another reason for less brand value of Australian schools in US and Europe.

I don't think there would be anything wrong with the education system.
If you are really concerned about that, you may do an analysis of the curriculum for schools you are planning to apply in US and then Queensland or MBS etc.

As you don't know any Alumni of these schools, please write to the admissions counselor of these schools and ask them, they will introduce you to some of the alumni and then you can have discussions with them as well.

Hope it would help !

Let me know if you have more questions.

Yes, I will talk to alumni for their feedback. I have seen number of linkedin profiles where it is showing the people are working in various consulting firms post MBA. However, economist ranking seems to be a JOKE. Queensland ranking is not present in top 100 of FT ranking. Here are some reviews on poets and quants.

I will apply to MBS as my first preference. I am also looking for part time option because FT limit is just 32. that will help in networking people without leaving job.

That is true sometimes the rankings from FT and Economic times are way apart, however the better way to look at things if you are considering the rankings would be to calculate 3 to 5 year average ranks of the schools that you may be applying to, that would at least give a better perspective.

With your experience and PR status I don't see any reason of you not making to MBS, therefore Queensland should be out of the picture. However if you get a really heavy scholarship from Queensland and money is also an important criteria for you while selecting the programs, then you may give it a shot.

I also mentor MBA aspirants as a passion to support people to better equip them to make a decision.
