The main campus is located at the University of New South Wales in Randwick, a suburb of Sydney. The AGSM building houses teaching facilities, administrative services, a common room, computer labs and syndicate rooms. It also has accommodation facilities for students in the part-time program and for visitors. Students have access to the facilities of the UNSW Business School on the same campus including additional teaching and study spaces. The University Library houses a wide selection of books, journals and other useful academic resources. AGSM also has a central Sydney city campus where executive education programs and training are delivered and satellite facilities in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Hong Kong.

Student body

The full-time MBA program has one intake per year, usually with over 50 students. The student body organises a number of clubs focusing on disciplines such as marketing, finance, corporate social responsibility and entrepreneurship. The part-time program has approximately 1,000 students at any point in time.

History

In 1977, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), with federal government resources, established the AGSM as New South Wales' second school of postgraduate management studies.[6] In January 1999, the AGSM and the Graduate School of Business of the University of Sydney merged under the AGSM brand. In November 2005, the universities demerged their business schools and the AGSM reverted to wholly UNSW ownership.[7]

One year later, UNSW merged the AGSM with the UNSW Faculty of Commerce and Economics, creating the Faculty of Business (later the Australian School of Business).[8]

In mid-2007, the faculties physically combined, and moved into UNSW's newly renovated Heffron Building, which UNSW renamed the UNSW Business School Building.

In 2011 Professor Chris Styles was appointed as Deputy Dean and Director AGSM and the Master of Business & Technology program was added to AGSM offering.

2014 saw the appointment of AGSM's first female director, Professor Julie Cogin.

Notable alumni

There are over 16,500 alumni of the AGSM MBA and MBT programs.[9] Notable alumni include:
