Student Story

“My role at Microsoft is quite sales-oriented, so we have very complex negotiations and work closely with a number of stakeholders. My learnings in the MBA have allowed me to step back and look at the bigger perspective, especially with complex deals, any apply the frameworks I have learned in class to my work. I chose to study my MBA at QUT for its practical and experience-based curriculum. The course subjects were very relatable to my job and career aspirations” Varun Malhotra, Solution Sales Lead, Microsoft
