The Master of Marketing at Victoria University in Melbourne builds on existing business knowledge with in-depth exploration of current marketing theory and practical methods. Over three semesters, students study units that cover areas like consumer behaviour, brand management, digital marketing, market research, and strategic marketing planning. There’s a capstone project towards the end, allowing students to tackle a real business problem or marketing campaign, applying their learning to practical industry scenarios.
This degree is structured around units of study, each contributing credit points towards the completion requirement. Students benefit from exposure to guest lecturers from industry, case studies based on Australian organisations, and the option for professional placement or work-integrated learning in partnership with businesses in Melbourne. The structure lets students specialise according to their area of interest, while gaining research and analytical skills valued in the local job market.
Throughout the course, students develop practical marketing campaign planning, data analysis, and communications skills. The program suits graduates from business and non-business backgrounds seeking to shift or grow their career in marketing, as well as professionals aiming to step into managerial roles in Australian or global organisations.
International students benefit from Melbourne’s strong links to advertising, retail, and consultancy sectors, along with work rights up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and the potential to apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation. Entry requires evidence of English proficiency as set by the university and the Department of Home Affairs. Students should always confirm admission and course specifics on the official university site.
