Personal statement (750 words max)
The accelerated online MBA has been designed to be collaborative and grounded in real-world practice. As such, it’s important that all our students can draw on their leadership experience and insights while completing the coursework.
Similar to a cover letter, a statement of leadership is your opportunity to demonstrate your management responsibilities, leadership experience or both. Leadership can include direct management or supervisory experience as well as managing and driving change in an organisational or project-specific setting.

To further support your application, we do recommend providing a statement of service that confirms your current employment, outlining duration, type of employment and your role(s) and responsibilities. This needs to be completed on a company letterhead and verified by your employer or your accountant if you are self-employed.
