Summary
The Master of Management degree will prepare you with the applied know-how to take on business leadership roles in a wide range of industries.
The Master of Management (MMgmt) will develop your ability to succeed as a business leader in complex, competitive and culturally diverse situations, both in New Zealand and other countries.
This programme is ideal for recent university graduates with a degree in any field; or professionals and emerging leaders who want to expand their knowledge and skillset. No previous management experience is required.
The MMgmt includes a core of management papers to build a strong foundation for your studies. These are designed to equip you with strong business acumen and analytical abilities, as well as good leadership, communication and problem-solving skills.
Then you'll build advanced expertise in your specialist subject and apply these to a variety of hands-on learning challenges.
The 'Intercultural Perspectives' paper will help you to become a better manager in workplaces that have diverse teams of people.
For the High Impact Applied Project, you'll conduct research for a host organisation and write a report that delivers actionable insights for key stakeholders.
The capstone paper, 'Contemporary and Future Issues in Context', requires students to tackle complex management issues with scenario planning and foresight.
Note: The Master of Management does NOT provide the depth of specialised study that is required for admission to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
