MBA Awards
The purpose of the MBA Awards is to recognise and celebrate
the achievements of our top graduating MBAs each year – and
to bring their talents and skills to the attention of potential
employers.
Established in 2005 by then MBA Director Dr Steve Kay, the
awards are presented at a gala dinner at UQ’s historic Customs
House.
The November event has become a highlight of the School’s
calendar and a great opportunity to celebrate the achievements
of our students.
The awards are made annually to students who have graduated
in semester one or are eligible to graduate in semester two.
The awards are as follows:
• Top MBA award
• director’s award (for leadership)
• Service to the community award
• Awards for excellence
• The dr Margeret Mittelheuser AM and RBS Morgans Ltd
Prize in accounting and finance.

UQ Business School has partnered with the AICD to host the
Leaders’ Edge luncheon series.
The series features business leaders sharing their insights
around contemporary business issues.
As well as hearing from some outstanding presenters, the
lunches also provide valuable networking opportunities.
A recent speaker was Rio Tinto CEO Tom Albanese. His
presentation on Australia’s minerals future attracted an
audience of more than 600 people.
