Master of Business (Economics, Finance & Marketing)

The Master of Business (Economics, Finance & Marketing) at RMIT University in Melbourne takes a close look at the fields that underpin decision-making in commercial, government and not-for-profit settings. You'll examine concepts in micro- and macroeconomics, portfolio management, capital markets, consumer behaviour and strategic marketing, with a practical focus on current challenges and techniques used in Australia and internationally. The curriculum blends theory with practical case studies relevant to the Australian context, bringing together economic analysis, financial skills and marketing strategy.

Typical master's degrees in Australia run over two years of full-time study. At RMIT, you progress through several units of study (subjects), earning credit points as you complete each one. In the Master of Business, students complete coursework in key business disciplines plus electives of particular interest. Many students round off their study with a capstone project that tackles a real business issue, sometimes in partnership with an industry client, giving you direct exposure to the type of work you'll do after graduation.

Throughout the course, you will strengthen your analytical skills, build practical abilities in research and report writing, and develop your communication and leadership capabilities. This qualification is well suited to those wanting to shift into new business areas or deepen expertise in economics, finance or marketing. It's also a good fit for international students wanting experience in an Australian business hub like Melbourne. While studying, student visa holders may work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, subject to government requirements.
