The Master of Applied Management (MApM) is a Level 9 programme of 240 or 180 credits at Levels 8 and 9 with at least 45 credits at Level 9, completed by coursework and industry integrated or applied research.

The programme can be completed in two years full-time (240 credit course) or 18 months (180 credit course) or up to eight years part-time, depending on your previous study and experience, and specific course preferences.
