The Online Learning Portal: Study anytime, anywhere

The AIB MBA is delivered 100% online through our innovative Student Learning Portal. It offers 24/7 access to learning materials, so learning can easily be integrated into a daily routine. Audio versions of course content make it possible to learn while commuting, working out, running errands or even while waiting at school pick-up – turning everyday moments into learning opportunities.

You’ll be supported throughout your studies with access to an orientation program, online libraries, academic and wellbeing services, and tools including Grammarly, Scite_, Studiosity and LinkedIn Learning.

The myAIB app adds even more flexibility. You can download full modules and subjects to access offline, receive push notifications for assessment and webinar dates, and stream audio content via SoundCloud. The app is available on both Google Play and on the Apple App Store.

Practical Features

100% online

Unlike many programs that were only recently adapted for online delivery, the AIB MBA was designed for it. You won’t just passively watch lectures. You’ll be actively engaged through interactive webinars, peer collaboration and practical assignments that apply directly to your workplace. 

Self-paced learning

Adapt your MBA to your schedule. Participate in live webinars outside work hours or catch up on recorded sessions when it suits you. You can also accelerate your studies or pause between subjects if needed, making it easy to manage unexpected demands without withdrawing from your MBA.

Online community

Studying online doesn’t mean studying alone. At AIB, you’ll join a supportive community of over 20,000 students and alumni across 100 countries, working across all roles and industries. Build valuable connections during your MBA and stay engaged beyond graduation through our exclusive Facebook and LinkedIn groups. 

Personalised support

AIB’s support is purpose-built for online students. You can access academic, technical and wellbeing support at every stage of your studies. Our commitment to student care is backed by our 86.8% score for student support in the national Student Experience Survey, well above the 80% national average. 

Simple setup

Setting up distance learning is easier than you think. All you need is a computer or laptop for completing assessments, a smartphone or tablet for secure access and a reliable internet connection. We’ll provide free access to Zoom and Microsoft Office 365 to support your learning. As long as you meet the minimum technical requirements, you can log in and start studying from wherever suits you best. 

How You’ll Benefit

Work-life balance

Juggling study, work and personal life doesn’t have to mean sacrificing one for the other. AIB’s academic structure is designed to support balance, with each subject running for seven weeks followed by a week to reflect and recharge. You’ll typically focus on one subject at a time, making the workload more manageable even if you have a full-time job, family responsibilities and active social life. 

Save time and money

AIB’s online format is designed for working professionals, making it a more affordable and less disruptive way to earn a postgraduate qualification. An MBA with no campus requirement removes the need for commuting, relocation and accommodation. You can also keep earning your full income while you complete your degree, avoiding the financial strain that often comes with traditional on-campus programs. 

Learn with global peers

At our online MBA school, you’ll study alongside professionals from all over the world. As part of a truly global cohort, you’ll benefit from diverse perspectives and develop cross-cultural awareness that helps you thrive in international workplaces. Each class is intentionally small to encourage meaningful interaction and relationship building. Your connections open opportunities to new roles and industries, mentorships and business partnerships while creating lifelong friendships. 

Ultimate flexibility

AIB delivers a flexible MBA for working professionals, with 24/7 access to learning materials. There are many ways that learning can easily be integrated into your day-to-day schedule, such as listening to lectures during daily commutes, studying during work lunch breaks or networking with peers in the evening. You can progress in a way that suits your energy, availability and routine. 

“I didn’t have to sacrifice my career progression or personal commitments to pursue the AIB MBA. Instead, I was able to integrate study into my life in a way that worked for me. I had the ability to access webinars at a time that suited me, revisit recordings and use transcripts to fit study around my demanding schedule.  It felt like AIB understood the realities of working professionals and designed their program to accommodate those needs.” 
Emma Pawlowski 
General Manager of Healthcare Management and Products at Australian Unity 
“I work and travel so going to a physical classroom wasn’t what I wanted. AIB’s online delivery was very flexible and I customised it to my needs. For example, I’m a late bird, so I would stay up late at night working at home or in a hotel room. Also, one really nice experience I had in Montreal – it was a Sunday afternoon in summer and there was a webinar. So, I’m home on my porch having a glass of wine, taking my course.”
Fausto Rossi
EVP & Founding Partner at Visible Commerce Connection Inc.
“For an online platform to work with this level of study, you have to be able to feel like you’re in the classroom even when you’re not. And so, that’s what AIB had done really, really well is they made me feel like I was able to be in front of the teacher without physically having to be there, which was great for flexibility around work and family life.”
