What you'll study

The Master of Management combines foundational management theory with applied coursework and industry-focused projects. You will study a mix of core and elective subjects that build capability in strategic thinking, leadership, analytics and decision-making.

• Applied and elective topics: marketing management; human resource management; entrepreneurship and innovation; business analytics for managers; project management; corporate governance and sustainability.
• Capstone and industry experience: many students complete a capstone project, consulting practicum or industry project that integrates learning with a real organisational problem. Options for internships or industry placements may be available depending on unit offerings and availability.
• Structure and delivery: the program is delivered through case-based learning, workshops, group projects and seminars with assessment by assignments, presentations and project reports. Flexible study options are commonly available, including full-time and part-time enrolment and evening or mixed-mode delivery.
