Master of Business Administration/Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

The Master of Business Administration/Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Swinburne University of Technology is a dynamic double degree designed for those who aspire to combine advanced business leadership acumen with pioneering skills in enterprise creation and innovation management. Taking place in the vibrant setting of Melbourne, this program emphasises the integration of strategic analytical frameworks with practical entrepreneurial methodologies, empowering graduates to navigate and disrupt complex business environments.

The program is structured over two years of full-time study and is tailored to meet the demands of Australian higher education. Students complete a series of units of study that accumulate credit points towards their qualification, typically comprising core business administration units, specialised entrepreneurship streams, and electives that allow for further customisation. The curriculum may include a capstone project or major applied task, providing students with the opportunity to synthesise theory and practice, often in collaboration with industry partners or through real-world business cases. Work-integrated learning components are also available, connecting students with the local and global business community and enhancing employability.

Graduates gain essential skills in management, strategic planning, innovation, startup development, financial stewardship, and creative problem solving. The dual nature of the degree especially suits professionals looking to advance into leadership roles, launch new ventures, or innovate within established organisations. Collaborative learning, exposure to Melbourne's business ecosystem, and strong industry engagement are key features, aligning with the needs of today’s rapidly changing economy.

The course supports international students with clear pathways, including eligibility for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – post-study work stream, allowing graduates to gain work experience in Australia. While studying, students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight, providing valuable exposure to Australian industry. Applicants should consult the official Swinburne University of Technology website for the latest unit offerings, credit requirements, and English language entry standards.
