Kaplan Business School (KBS) is a recognised world leader in offering affordable higher education programs in the field of business education. The school offers students a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate study programs across its six campuses. Study areas include business, marketing, finance, leadership, entrepreneurship, management and project management, analytics, tourism, digital management, health services, and information technology. KBS has campuses in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Gold Coast. Each school location offers students an excellent learning and social environment.
KBS puts internships at the heart of its educational model. Thanks to its strong industry connections in a number of different organisations, KBS students get to enjoy an internship opportunity as part of their course, allowing them to gain work experience while studying. This gives students a substantial competitive edge upon graduation, with two in five students who carried out an academic internship offered work in the first trimester of 2023.
All KBS campuses benefit from central city locations, offering students a warm student environment and a vibrant city life. Facilities across all campuses include quiet study spaces, industry-leading computer labs, and student kitchens. A range of student services further enhance the student experience at KBS.
Students have access to specialised services including tailored careers advice and academic support, as well as counselling and individual support, if required. International students are welcomed with an orientation programme to help them adjust to student life and living in Australia.
As a result of all this, it’s no surprise that overseas students tend to rate Kaplan higher than any other public university in Australia for quality of experience, teaching quality and student support.
