Master of Management (Coursework)

The Master of Management (Coursework) at the University of Western Australia is designed for those looking to build expertise in business management and leadership. Over two years of full-time study, students examine core business functions, including strategic planning, organisational behaviour, marketing, operations, and finance. Through applied case studies and project work, the course addresses real challenges facing managers today.

Australian master's degrees like this one are structured around semesters, with credit awarded for successful completion of units of study, students will generally complete around 24 units totalling 96 credit points. Assessment is a mix of individual assignments, group projects, presentations, and examinations. A significant feature of the course is the inclusion of a capstone project, where students work on an advanced business management problem, often in partnership with industry or a community organisation.

Industry connections in Perth are strong, with local companies and government providing opportunities for guest lectures, networking, and sometimes internships or short placements. Students develop skills in critical thinking, data analysis, leadership, effective communication, and change management. The course suits early-career professionals wanting to advance or pivot into management, as well as recent graduates aiming to deepen their business knowledge before entering the workforce.

International students must show English proficiency, typically with an overall IELTS Academic score of 6.0–6.5. The course is CRICOS registered, meaning international graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), useful for gaining post-study work experience in Australia. While studying, students often work up to 48 hours per fortnight under their student visa rights.
