Designed for busy working professionals, this fully online MBA course is highly flexible and delivered with interactive, bite-sized content and personalised student support.
Tracing its origins to 1984, the Australian Institute of Business first began as a management consultancy called Gibaran Pty Ltd (Gibaran) and a decade later obtained accreditation to deliver higher education. Founded under the visionary leadership of Professor Selva Abraham, AIB has remained dedicated to empowering individuals to excel in the realms of business and management.
When Professor Abraham completed his executive-style MBA, it changed his life forever. The experience ignited his passion for education, seeing the difference that knowledge had made to him and what it could do for others. Professor Abraham dedicated his life to sharing education with the world through an accessible, flexible, and practical approach.
In November 1995, Gibaran obtained accreditation to deliver its first higher education course. By 2002, it had obtained accreditation for the full suite of business degrees, including the prestigious Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), being the first private provider in Australia to do so.
Today, with almost 40 years of history and as one of Australia’s most established private education institutions, AIB’s community has grown to over 20,000 students and alumni spanning across 95 countries. We remain dedicated to providing flexible, accessible, and practical business education, empowering our students to excel in their careers and achieve their goals. We maintain our focus on the future, leading the charge in educational innovation, and committing ourselves to continuous improvement.
AIB is a globally recognised institution that caters specifically to working professionals. AIB’s higher education programs are accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) .
