Master of Business (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems)/ Master of Supply Chain Management

The Master of Business (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems) / Master of Supply Chain Management at Victoria University is a dual qualification based in Melbourne, focusing on the design, implementation, and management of integrated business systems. Students learn how leading organisations use ERP platforms, like SAP, to streamline business processes and improve decision-making. The supply chain management component covers topics such as procurement, logistics, operations, and international trade in an Australian and global context.

This 2.5-year master’s degree is structured through units of study, each earning credit points contributing to the qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The course typically combines lectures, case studies, and hands-on projects. Many units incorporate real-world casework, and students can undertake professional placements with industry partners, this is especially relevant in Melbourne, a major Australian logistics and business hub. There is usually a capstone project where students integrate their learning to solve business challenges, simulating what they'd encounter in local and multinational companies.

Students gain practical skills in business analysis, ERP configuration, supply chain design, business process improvement, and data management. There’s a strong emphasis on working with contemporary business software and technology to support enterprise integration and logistics. This double degree suits people with business or IT backgrounds, as well as professionals wanting to broaden their management expertise or shift into supply chain or business systems roles.

Victoria University enrols people from diverse backgrounds and supports international students with work rights of 48 hours per fortnight while studying, and eligibility for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after completing the course.
