About

The Master of Business is for people aspiring to management roles, current managers seeking formal qualifications & those changing career direction.

This program will help to further develop your business skills, build specialist knowledge within your chosen area & accelerate your career.

The MBus offers two entry points depending on your previous studies.

The Master (1.5 years) is designed for those graduates with a Bachelor's degree in the same discipline.

The Master (2 years) includes the core fundamentals of general management for those graduates with a Bachelor's degree from any discipline.

Both Masters provide an opportunity to specialise in two fields or additional research electives.

You can choose to specialise in the areas of advertising, HR management, information systems, innovation & entrepreneurship, international business, leadership, marketing, social impact and sustainability, or supply chain management.

This program does not presume prior knowledge or training in any of the available fields of study.

Students who have studied in a cognate area should carefully consider how each field of study extends their specialist expertise & supports their future career plan.
