#1We rank #1 in Melbourne for overall Quality of Educational Experience in postgraduate Business Management.
GIVING YOU AN EDGEIn 2001, Swinburne founded the Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship (AGSE). This makes us Australia’s first dedicated entrepreneurship school. We see disruption as an opportunity. And that’s the mindset we teach.
When you study at the AGSE, you’ll get exclusive access to Swinburne’s vibrant entrepreneurship ecosystem. Led by the Faculty of Business and Law, the AGSE is connected to the wider university through our Innovation Precinct, digital innovation labs, business incubator program and entrepreneur-in-residence program.
Building on Swinburne’s longstanding practice of real-world leadership, the curriculum in each AGSE degree is co-created with industry leaders. On top of that, you’ll get the best of two worlds: industry practitioners, known as pracademics, teaching alongside Swinburne academics.
The practical application of your learning experience is further emphasised with industry speakers, on-site events, real-life case studies, and guest lecturers from industry and academia.
You’ll be building new networks from your first day.

Entrepreneurs have the ability to make decisions under uncertainty; and to use the innovation process as a tool to commercialise their ideas. They see change as an opportunity, where others only see chaos.
In the AGSE, we develop entrepreneurs, those who intend to start and grow their own business, and also intrapreneurs, those who want to use those same skills and knowledge to advance in a corporate environment.
The Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is for people who want to challenge themselves and succeed in world of opportunity.
