Master of Management

The Master of Management at the University of Melbourne is a comprehensive two-year postgraduate programme designed for students seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge in management and business leadership. The curriculum provides a deep dive into contemporary management theory, organisational strategy, leadership, marketing, economics, and business analytics, equipping graduates to navigate and lead in dynamic business environments.

Structured around semesters, students typically undertake a series of core and elective units of study, each carrying a set number of credit points. In total, these units build toward the completion of the degree as per the requirements set at Australian universities. The programme often includes a capstone project, allowing students to synthesise their learning through applied research or practical consultancy tasks with real businesses, fostering a strong linkage between academic concepts and professional practice.

Students develop a broad suite of soft and technical skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and effective communication within diverse teams. The course suits both recent graduates from non-business backgrounds seeking managerial roles, as well as early-career professionals aiming to enhance their qualifications for advancement. It may also offer opportunities for work-integrated learning or professional placements, which build connections with Melbourne’s thriving business and corporate community.

Australian master’s degree students can benefit from up to 48 hours of work rights per fortnight during study and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) through the post-study work stream after completion. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency at a standard set by the university, with multiple test options accepted.
