The Master of Applied Management (180 credit) is designed for individuals with a bachelor’s degree in business or a related field.
It focuses on applying knowledge to real-world challenges, enhancing your skills in key management areas, and preparing you for leadership roles in diverse business environments.
You can deepen your expertise through coursework, a combination of coursework and a project, or a substantial research component.
The programme’s flexible structure, diverse pathways and emphasis on sustainability and varied organisational contexts will prepare you to lead confidently, innovate effectively and make a meaningful impact in today’s global business world.
The Master of Applied Management offers two options:

240-credit programme for those with a bachelor’s degree in a non-business discipline
Both options include studies at Levels 8 and 9, with at least 45 credits at Level 9. The 180-credit option can be completed in 18 months full-time or up to six years part-time. The 240-credit option requires two years full-time or up to six years part-time.
The programme is built on professional competencies and specialised focus areas. You will develop expertise across eight critical areas: money, markets, people and culture, planning, technology, innovation, globalisation and sustainability.
