Welcome from the Dean
Welcome to the Faculty of Business and Enterprise. Our vision is to be Australia’s leading provider of high quality business-focused degrees offering learning pathways into the professions, with an international reputation for teaching and research in commerce and entrepreneurship.
We take pride in our commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation, a theme we explore in depth through the efforts of the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (AGSE), the Faculty's graduate school. Here we offer graduate programs tailored to meet the needs of fast growing firms and those individuals who want to be entrepreneurs in their own right. We also have an active team of researchers with international reputations in their fields.
In recent years, the Australian government has been undertaking annual discipline-based assessments of teaching and learning quality in all Australian universities. We have ranked very well indeed in those assessments. In fact, we are one of only two business schools in Victoria to achieve Band A ranking for three years in a row.
That we figure so well in these external assessments is not surprising. The Faculty of Business and Enterprise is one of the smallest business faculties in Australia. This means students get to know their teaching staff, and teaching staff get to teach in a warm and intimate atmosphere many other universities are unable to provide.
But more than anything else, the Faculty is about innovation, the spirit of enterprise and the practice of entrepreneurship. I welcome you to our Faculty and am sure that you too will find it an exciting and friendly place to be.
Prof. Ken Heskin
Dean of the Faculty of Business and Enterprise
