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 postgraduate, professional development and short courses. 

Our master programs also include options with a wide range of specialisations and electives so you can tailor your study experience with subjects ranging from artificial intelligence to venture planning.
