Why study the Master of Business?
The Master of Business is designed for people aspiring to management roles, for current managers seeking formal qualifications and for those changing career direction. This program will help you to further develop your business skills, build specialist knowledge within your chosen area and accelerate your career. It's possible to complete the Master of Business in 2 years or 1.5 years depending on your previous studies. The 1.5 year duration is designed for graduates with a Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline. The 2 year duration includes the fundamentals of general management for graduates with a Bachelor's degree from any discipline. Both duration options provide an opportunity to specialise in two fields of study or take additional research electives (which may provide a pathway to research higher degree programs). Each specialised field of study will equip you with the relevant knowledge to jumpstart or advance your chosen profession. You can choose to specialise in the areas of advertising, human resource management, information systems, innovation and entrepreneurship, international business, law for business, leadership, marketing, organisational sustainability, or supply chain management.
