The third annual graduation of the MBA programme that the Australian Institute of Business (AIB) offers in collaboration with Nations University was held on Saturday, last, at the Pegasus Hotel.

Seventy-three students received parchments on this occasion, fifty-two graduated with the Master of Business Administration, eleven others graduated with the Graduate Diploma in Management and the remaining ten persons graduated with the Graduate Certificate in Management.
The Chairman of the Academic Board of AIB Professor Rod Oxenberry (PhD, M. Soc., Admin, BA, AUA), presented the awards and delivered an address at the Graduation. Professor Oxenberry was an inaugural member of the South Australian Higher Education Registration and Accreditation Board.
He was also previous Head of the International Graduate School of Management of the University of South Australia involved with graduate management programmes in Australia, Asia and Europe. He has taught in MBA programmes in the areas of leadership, strategic management and governance.
The feature address was delivered by the Minister of Education Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine.
Those who graduated included persons representing a wide cross section of the Guyanese business community, including senior personnel from government ministries, and from GuySuCo, Guyana Water Incorporated, Guyana Elections Commission, CARICOM, and the Guyana Revenue Authority. Among the graduates are also sole entrepreneurs and representatives of a range of private agencies.
Presently over 300 persons have enrolled with Nations University to pursue their MBA through AIB. Next month will see the beginning of the Eleventh Cohort.

The International Graduate Forum has ranked AIB’s MBA as fourth in Australia and tenth in the world according to the latest rankings released in the Winter 2014/15 edition of CEO Magazine (UK).
This year marks the third consecutive year that AIB’s MBA has taken its place among the top 20 MBAs internationally and within the top four in Australia, above many other well-known business schools.
