One major value of getting your MBA whether it's in country X or Y is the people you'll meet and your network. That said, if you plan to work in Australia or do business there, getting an MBA in Australia would make sense.

If you want to get a job in Europe for example, perhaps that wouldn't make as much sense.

Also because of Australia's close proximity to Asia, many international students would come from that region very likely. Another thing to consider since these people will be in your network.

You also get the opportunity to work in neighbouring countries and potentially farther. I know an IT exec who studied at Edith Cowan in Australia who got the chance to work in Sri Lanka, Australia and is now based in the UK. He is eyeing other parts of Europe too!

It's all about where you want to work after you graduate. If you are worried about prestige, look for the program's rank in some global MBA rankings.
