What is your motivation for studying the MBA Full-time at AGSM?

How will you contribute to your classes and to the AGSM community?

(Optional Question) Is there anything else you would like to share with the Admissions Committee?

Rounds 1 to 4 are gone, and the clock matters more if you need a visa. AGSM tells international applicants to apply early. Aim for Round 5 on Oct. 1, or Round 6 on Nov. 1 at the latest, since visas can take three months or more.
The GMAT is optional only if your grades carry you. AGSM accepts strong results from an Australian or world top-ranked university in place of a test. If your transcript is average or from a less-known school, a strong GMAT or GRE is the safer route, and the committee reads section scores as well as the total.
Your CV does essay work here. AGSM scores it on written communication, leadership and influence, and asks for each employer's size, turnover and staff numbers. Put the numbers in. A thin CV loses points before anyone reads your 250 words.
Prepare for the interview on your own. The 2027 policy bans generative AI tools and any outside help during interviews, and both the video interview and the 30-minute committee interview are assessed. Practice answering out loud, without notes.
