Master of Management

The Master of Management allows students to specialise in a wide range of management and commercial areas, including strategic and analytic management, as well as functional operations of organisations, such as finance and accounting. This course is ideal for both working professionals and recent graduates who are seeking further business expertise.

About the course

Our world-class academics and leading industry partners will ensure you’re exposed to the latest theory and practice. Alongside this, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in extracurricular activities, from career fairs and networking events to joining student groups and attending professional development workshops and guest lectures from senior executives.

The Master of Management is ideal for recent graduates seeking to develop further expertise to pursue careers in business and can boost employment opportunities around the world through the UWA Business School's international accreditations and corporate supporters.
