The University of Gold Coast's networking event brought together 600 MBA freshers with professionals from key industries, showcasing the university's commitment to attracting great people.

The event emphasised the value of networking in achieving growth, excellence, and impact. As noted by the Chancelor of the University of GoldCoast, Bishop Dr Gideon Titi-Ofei, “A great school does not only run great programmes. A great school also attracts great people".

Dr. Titi-Ofei described the new Specialist MBA as “a leadership formation programme for commerce and industry,” tailored to produce managers who are not only knowledgeable, but also competent, ethical, and impact-driven.

He noted that the pioneer cohort reflects the programme’s industry relevance, with students drawn from diverse sectors across the economy.

Delivering the matriculation address, Prof. Samuel Nii Odai urged the pioneer cohort to embrace the rigour of postgraduate learning, uphold academic honesty, and pursue leadership that delivers measurable outcomes in their organisations and communities.
