AGSM @ UNSW Business School partners with elite business schools across Asia, Europe, UK and the USA to provide exchange opportunities for MBA students.
AGSM is a proud member of both the PIM and GNAM international networks through which MBA students have access to short intensive experiences and term-long exchange.
Partnership in International Management (PIM) is an international consortium of business schools from around the world which provides a framework for international cooperation primarily at the graduate level. Through this network of leading business schools AGSM students can access full-time exchange opportunities at selected partners.
The Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) is a powerful network of the world’s leading business schools. As the only Australian university in the network, AGSM students have a unique opportunity to apply to participate in Global Network Weeks and Global Network Courses (short-term exchange) during their MBA program.
Exchange opportunities for AGSM students
Exchange is for students looking to gain an international perspective and develop a well-rounded educational experience as part of their MBA study.

AGSM’s MBA exchange program allows eligible students in the Full-Time MBA program to undertake a component of their program with an International Exchange partner for a full term of elective courses. Please note applications are open once per year, strict eligibility criteria apply and competition for limited exchange places is strong. MBA (Full-Time) students are prioritised for the full-time exchange program.
Students in the MBA (Executive), and the MBAX program are eligible to apply for full-time MBA exchange, however, differing eligibility requirements apply. Please visit the AGSM Student Intranet as a current student to find out more about eligibility.
Full-time Exchange Partner Schools
AGSM MBA Exchange opportunities are subject to change and dependent on the academic calendar and availability of exchange partners. Not all partner schools and programs are available to students in every AGSM MBA program. UNSW reserves the right to amend the list of eligible exchange partners and program requirements at any time and without prior notice.

Global Network Weeks
You may apply to take a course during the Global Network Week (GNW) and receive 6UOC from AGSM in lieu of taking one elective course at AGSM. This short-term exchange opportunity is for students looking to gain an international perspective at another network school in a focused short course that leverages the perspectives, programs, and faculty expertise of that school.
Classes are conducted face-to-face in an intensive mode over 5 days which is ideal for students with a busy work schedule. GNW topics vary from year to year, please visit Global Network for information about previous course offerings and timing. Please note participation is by application only. Places are limited, the application process is highly competitive and not all applications are successful. Please visit the student intranet as a current student to find out more about eligibility and contact the Student Experience Team to discuss your individual case.
Global Network Courses - Small Network Online Courses (SNOCs)
SNOCs are online exchange courses available to students enrolled in MBAE and MBAX programs (our part-time MBAs only). Opportunities to participate are advertised in the Online Student Community and AGSM newsletter. SNOC course offerings change from year to year. Please visit Global Network to view previous SNOC offerings. Please visit the student intranet as a current student to find out more about eligibility.
