Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship
If you’re keeping up with change, you’re already too late.
Find your edge
An eye for innovation and the ability to lead others boldly into new territories: These instincts can be taught. We teach them. And that’s what makes us different.
Swinburne’s Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (AGSE) offers much more than the practical and experiential business management and leadership courses for which we are renowned.
We provide a holistic and academically rigorous learning experience, valuable networking opportunities, and projects co-designed and co-delivered with industry partners.
As a busy professional, you need flexibility, so we offer tailorable postgraduate degrees, professional development and short courses.
Connected to industry
We work closely with our industry partners to ensure our courses reflect market trends and technological innovations. We pick their brains on the skills they hire for now, and the knowledge gaps they want to see filled in the future.
