Course content

Set yourself up as a future business leader and rise to the top of your profession with specialist management expertise.

If you're looking to accelerate your professional career by gaining expertise in an area of business or management that you're passionate about, or you want to prepare for a research career, this degree is designed for you.

The Master of Management Studies (MMS) will bring you closer to the frontiers of knowledge in your specialist field, and prepare you for leadership roles that require a high level of critical thinking and information analysis.

The degree normally includes a mix of both taught papers and a research dissertation, but can also be taken as a full research thesis.

Normally all papers are taken within a single subject area that you majored in for your undergraduate bachelor's degree (or equivalent qualification), or a postgraduate diploma. Choose from the 12 subjects listed below.

Learn from experienced lecturers who have research and consulting links with leading companies, NGOs and governments around the world.

Completing the MMS will put you on the right path for PhD doctoral study.
