McFarlane backs value of MBA

A Master of Business Administration can help you up the ladder but is not a prerequisite to a stellar career, if Australia’s corporate top dogs are anything to go by. However, ANZ Banking group chief executive John McFarlane argues his MBA allowed him to change industries and triple his salary upon graduating.

MBA more than just a meal ticket

ANZ’s John McFarlane chose Cranfield because its MBA course was crammed into 12 months rather than being spread over two years with long breaks. Unlike other business schools, Cranfield does not require its candidates to have an undergraduate degree.

“They recognise the university of life,” says McFarlane.
