About this program

The Master of Commerce at the University of Tasmania is built for graduates who want to further develop their expertise in business and management disciplines. Across two years of full-time study in Hobart, students complete core and elective units that combine advanced theory with practical applications in areas such as accounting, finance, marketing, and business analytics. The curriculum is structured through a series of units of study, each carrying a specified number of credit points, ensuring both breadth and depth across key business fields.

Throughout the course, students can expect to strengthen their skills in strategic decision-making, leadership, and data-driven analysis, all centered on real-world business challenges. The structure of the master's degree typically requires completing compulsory core units along with a selection of electives, allowing students to tailor their studies. Many students finish with a capstone project that draws together their learning, often focusing on a complex business problem or a research question relevant to the Australian context.

This degree is ideal for those with a background in business or related fields, as well as professionals aiming to broaden their career horizons or move into management roles. International students studying the Master of Commerce have the benefit of up to 48 hours work rights per fortnight during semesters, and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) upon graduation.
