Kaplan Business School

Adelaide offers a multitude of transport options for international students to commute locally and to the campus. Students can use tram, bus, train, cycles, e-scooters, e-bike, and local taxi services such as Uber to travel. It is very easy to commute in Adelaide as it is a very planned and less crowded city, with clear road directions and student-friendly modes of transport. If one stays within the city area, walking to campus is very easy, too. With student concession cards, commuting locally is super cost-effective as it saves a lot of money.

Getting to the Kaplan campuses in CBD Sydney is a total breeze! 😎 I myself go to the main campus on Elizabeth St. which is literally across the street from Martin Place station. It's also super close to St. James and Wynyard stations. You can take either the train or the light rail 🚉🚈, or catch one of the many buses that stop nearby if you prefer. 🚌 The other campus is just a quick walk, train or bus ride away too. So no matter where you're coming from - north, south, east, or west - it's so fast and easy to get to class! Public transport makes getting to both campuses a piece of cake. 🍰 No ferry needed! 🚢😜 Let me know if you want me to explain any directions more or give suggestions for key routes!

Going to KBS Perth campuses is so accessible from the city; from Perth Train Station or near Perth Bus Port, you can take the yellow or red CAT buses if you’re heading to KBS East Perth Campus, while red CAT buses will lead you to KBS West Perth campus. The good thing is, taking CAT buses ride is 100% free. That’s a massive savings for KBS students! :)

The Melbourne campus is located at Docklands, where you can take the tram 30, 35, 70 and 86 to reach there. If you’re not living in the CBD area, you may take a train to Flinders Street Station for the tram 70 while the other three lines would be more convenient to get on from the Southern Cross Station. On top of that, by taking tram 70 and 86, there is a tram stop which is only 2 mins away from the building while the other two would be like 5 minutes away. Besides, as Docklands is inside the free tram zone area if you’re living inside the CBD, you don’t even have to worry about the transportation fee.

Hey there! 😊 Currently, I've completed the Graduate Certificate in Business Analyst at Kaplan Business School, and now I'm diving into the Master of Business Analytics. The assessments vary by subject, usually consisting of 2 individual assessments and 1 group assessment per trimester. Some subjects also throw quizzes into the mix! 📚 Assessment types include quizzes, business reports, in-class tests (for STAM4000), and presentations, either in class or recorded. 📊📝 Pro tip: At the beginning of each trimester, you can find all assessment details and rubrics on the subject page. It's super helpful for understanding the requirements and scoring criteria. Oh, and Kaplan uses Turnitin, so referencing is key for authentic work. Happy studying! 🎓📖

I am now studying MBA - Master of Business Administration, majoring in Project Management. There are three types of assessments I’ve done so far - video presentation, written reports and examination. Yet I do recognise your performance or participation in the workshop does matter as your facilitator get to know you better and can tell if both of you are on the same page.

Kaplan Business School offers a variety of career-ready programs in business and management related fields. I am enrolled in the MBA Digital Management program of the business school. The MBA program of the school is globally recognised and highly regarded as the preferred qualification for professionals looking to expand their education and careers in the business and management world. The benefit of the program is that one can tailor the electives to match their career choices. This helped me to select my electives in Digital Management to match my Marketing career. The assessments in the program hone and develop one's skills in different areas. Some of the key subjects include leadership, strategic management, emotional intelligence, ethics and governance, marketing and communications, consumer behaviour and marketing psychology, innovation, knowledge management, financial communications, business analytics, project management, people and cultural intelligence. The assessments are a mix of in class assignments, group projects, quizzes and individual presentations, case analysis and detailed business reports that give a holistic and interactive learning experience to the students.

Yes, you can switch to another KBS course. You may also be able to transfer your credits from your completed subjects. However, please note that each situation will be different, so it is best to consult with a Student Experience Officer (SEO) on campus to discuss your options.

For the MBA, the structure varies based on whether you select 0, 1, or 2 majors. If you choose 0 or 1 major, you'll have some specific subjects to study along with the options from the subject list. With 2 majors, you must take specific subjects. Most subjects offer multiple scheduling options in terms of days or times. However, if you plan to graduate with a major, keep in mind that some compulsory subjects are only offered once a year! So choose wisely. And if you’re ever hesitating, reach out to Student Experience Officer (SEO) on campus for assistance.

Yes, you can. When subject enrolments are open, you will see a list of available subjects for the trimester, together with the available time slots to choose. Classes fill up quickly, so enrolling early is crucial to ensure you get your desired timetable.

The two food item that I have grown used to here while studying abroad is Chai(milk tea) and sushi. One is home comfort food and the latter I just tried after I came here and loved it. Funny thing I learned is that many Indian students don't like sushi but I loved it. I have tried different ones in that like Teriyaki, spicy chicken and so on. It was different as where I come from you eat rice as a meal whether lunch or dinner but here I found it as a filling snack 😋😋😋😋. It cost from $6 - $12 normally, also some places sell boxes of 6 pieces that are as cheap as $6 making it quite budget friendly I would always take some with me to Uni to have in between classes. Also as I'm in Melbourne I've grown used to coffee it's a go to thing as the coffee culture os super rich here and you get it as cheap as $2 in 7-eleven As for Chai, I prefer making it home by myself. I did try out in restaurant etc but it never felt that good. I would make it by boiling it with some crushed ginger and cardamom which gave it a rich taste and it's refreshing no matter which part of the day you have it 🙂‍↕️🤗🤗. A very good drink if your coming home from a long day and don't really feel like eating proper dinner. Even getting all of these ingredients will cost you not more than $30 and it will last for more than 1 month. These few things have really helped making my journey as an international student a bit more fun and exciting 😄😄

I I still remember my Orientation in November 2023, when I was filled with excitement to begin a new chapter of my life in a different country and environment. The on-campus Orientation was especially memorable because it gave me the chance to meet so many people who play an important role in the student journey—Career Advisors, the Academic team, Counsellors, Student Experience Officers, and of course, Student Ambassadors and Volunteers. I took the initiative to connect with different teams: asking the Careers Advisor about their services (which I later used extensively), learning from the Counsellor about student support, speaking with the Academic team about how I could benefit from their expertise, and engaging with Student Ambassadors about their experiences—something that later inspired me to become one myself. For me, the most impactful part was learning about the counselling services, which truly reflected Kaplan’s care for student wellbeing. Meeting the staff early on was also invaluable, as once lectures begin, it can be harder to interact due to busy schedules. Alongside the in-person experience, I also joined several online sessions, which gave me further insights into the school (I even created a YouTube video sharing my Orientation experience!). My advice to new students would be to always attend Orientation—preferably in person if possible, but even online sessions are very valuable. It’s a wonderful way to gain a head start, build connections, and feel more confident as you begin your journey at Kaplan.

Looking back on orientation week, I remember feeling this incredible mix of nerves and excitement stepping onto campus for the first time. What really impressed me was how well-organised and informative everything was. Instead of just generic welcome talks, they had set up different stations covering all the essential topics we'd actually need. I spent some time at the Academic Success Centre table learning about writing tools and study resources, and moved along to the Career station. They actually had real advisors there giving personalised tips like resume-building, networking, advice on Linkedin, not just handing out pamphlets. I loved chatting with the current students at the Student Ambassador table. They gave honest insights about campus life and were genuinely excited to help newcomers navigate everything. But what absolutely blew me away was the wellness station. They had a mental health and safety app, and there was a professional named Fernanda offering what free counseling sessions or mental health support. It really showed me how seriously the university takes student wellbeing, which was reassuring when adjusting to life in a new country. Making friends turned out to be the best and easiest part. Everyone was so eager to connect and build new relationships. That shared excitement about starting a new life made me feel a part of the community already. My advice for future international students: Talk to the student ambassadors extensively and ask them the real questions about professors, study spots, and balancing academics with social life. Don't shy away from exchanging contacts since everyone's eager to make friends anyway, and suggest coffee dates or study sessions later that week. Finally, actually use those services you learned about. Book that appointment at the Academic Success Centre, attend career workshops, check in with the wellness team. Orientation is just the beginning!
