Region. Increase in MBA enrolments

The University of Western Sydney’s MBA has recorded a 25 per cent increase in enrolments this year, albeit from a modest base, in 2009, and a slight increase in fee deferral. At the Macquarie Graduate School of Management, first-term enrolments have increased by 8 per cent and the quality of applicants has also improved. About 60 per cent of the intake is expected to defer payment this year, according to The Australian Financial Review.
