Kaplan Business School

Kaplan Business School is a higher education institution in Australia.  The school began offering degrees in 2008, in Adelaide, before expanding to other major cities across Australia.

Kaplan Business School (KBS) is a private higher education provider registered with TEQSA (PRV12094, CRICOS 02426B) and operating under the Kaplan International group, a division of Kaplan Inc. It began offering degrees in Adelaide in 2008 and has since grown to over 10,000 students across campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane. KBS holds self-accreditation status for business courses, one of only thirteen institutions in Australia granted this by TEQSA as of 2022.

KBS concentrates exclusively on business and technology disciplines. Its programs span accounting, business administration, marketing, information technology, entrepreneurship, health services management, and data analytics, at diploma, bachelor, graduate certificate, and master levels. The MBA is the most popular MBA program among international students in Australia by enrolment (2022 data). In the 2024 QILT Graduate Outcomes Survey, 93.5% of KBS postgraduates secured full-time employment within four months of graduation, and postgraduate earners averaged 20% above the national university mean.

The Sydney campus occupies premises at 55 Elizabeth Street and 56 York Street in the CBD, close to Martin Place station. Students have access to a student lounge, computer labs, and quiet study spaces. KBS does not appear in QS or Times Higher Education global rankings, as it is a specialist non-research provider, but it ranked above every Australian public university on overall quality of educational experience and teaching quality in the 2024 QILT Student Experience Survey.
