The Master of Marketing at Victoria University in Melbourne is structured to develop advanced skills in analysing, developing, and executing marketing strategies across diverse organisations. Over two years, students undertake units of study covering topics such as consumer behaviour, digital marketing, brand management, market research, and strategic marketing planning. Elective units allow for specialisation in areas like global marketing or social media campaigns, depending on career interests.
Australian master's degrees like this typically require the completion of a set number of credit points, combining core and elective units across four semesters. Many students will participate in work-integrated learning opportunities, such as industry projects or internships with Melbourne-based businesses, which bridges theory and practice and provides valuable real-world experience. A capstone project often rounds out the course, enabling students to apply concepts to a real marketing problem.
This course suits aspiring marketing professionals, career changers, and those looking to step into management roles. It appeals both to recent graduates and to those with business experience seeking to sharpen their marketing expertise. Throughout the degree, students build skills in analytics, digital marketing, communication, leadership, and project management, reflecting the needs of Australian employers. International students benefit from work rights entitling them to 48 hours of employment per fortnight while studying, and may be eligible for a post-study Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) upon completion.
