Summary

The Master of Business Management (MBM) programme will develop your business knowledge, adding value to the competencies and skills you’ve gained in your undergraduate studies.

As a Business Taught Masters programme, the MBM is open to anyone with an undergraduate qualification in any discipline with core business topics that will position you to work in commercial roles within the private and public sector.

UC Business School’s Master of Business Management is applicable to a broad range of industries including human resources, management, strategy, innovation and general business.

Through a mix of coursework, collaborative projects, and a final project or consultancy experience, you’ll build practical management capabilities while developing your confidence to lead and make informed business decisions in real-world settings.

UC's MBM is the only Master of Business Management in Australasia with AMBA accreditation.
