Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Is this a real Australian degree — or an online certificate?
It is a genuine Master of Business Analytics issued by AIA, a TEQSA-registered Australian higher education provider (PRV: 14346). The qualification sits at AQF Level 9 — the same framework level as a Master's degree from any Australian university. It is not a certificate or short course.
Can I study while working full-time?
Yes — this is by design. Units are delivered in 3-week intensive blocks with no fixed class hours. You access all materials at a time that suits you via Canvas LMS. Many students study early mornings, evenings, or weekends around their professional commitments.
How does the 1-unit money-back guarantee work?
AIA offers a 1-unit money-back guarantee. Enrol, pay the AUD 50 non-refundable admission fee and your first instalment, then complete Unit 1. If you are not satisfied for any reason after completing Unit 1, AIA will refund the full AUD 4,999 tuition — no questions asked. Only the AUD 50 admission fee is retained. Refunds are processed in AUD and may be subject to exchange rate fluctuations and bank transfer fees depending on your country and payment method.
Do I need IELTS or an English language test?
No IELTS or equivalent English test is required. Instead, you must demonstrate that your undergraduate degree was taught and assessed in English. Acceptable evidence includes an official letter from your university confirming English as the medium of instruction, or an academic transcript that notes this. If you are unsure whether your documentation qualifies, contact our admissions team — they can advise you directly.
Do I need a background in data or statistics?
No. The programme accepts graduates from any bachelor's discipline — Commerce, Engineering, Arts, Science, and more. The curriculum is designed to build analytical skills from the ground up. What matters is your commitment to learning and your English proficiency.
When are the next intake dates?
AIA offers rolling intake dates throughout the year — you are not locked into a single annual start date. We recommend applying at least 2–3 weeks before your preferred start date to allow time for document verification and enrolment processing. Contact our team for the next available date.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. The total fee of AUD 4,999 can be paid in four equal instalments of AUD 1,250 (with the final instalment being AUD 1,249). No interest is charged. Payments are made in Australian Dollars.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Analytics Institute of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Analytics Institute of Australia is a place free from discrimination, where everyone belongs. We respect and celebrate the diversity of our communities, including people of all cultural and faith backgrounds, classes, gender and sexual identities, ages and abilities and we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for all.
