Global Business and Management

Master's degree/Master's degree

The world of business is more connected – and more complex – than ever before. It’s a constantly-evolving landscape that requires bright business minds to lead global organisations in dynamic new ways. The opportunity isn’t just to challenge how things have been done before – it is also about driving change that leads to more positive outcomes for society.

This takes both a truly global perspective and the power of great leadership. This double degree progresses your understanding of both.

To understand the course structure, please refer to the table below. For comprehensive unit information, click on the Course Handbook button.

In choosing to complete this two-year program of the Master of Global Business and the Master of Management, you’ll be building on your skills and experience to harness a deeper, more specialised knowledge of contemporary business practice and management through a global business lens. You’ll be more aware of the factors at play beyond one particular region or market – and more specifically, how these factors influence the ways we lead and manage people and organisations.

Finding innovative and impactful ways to respond to contemporary management issues is a vital part of this program – with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals core of its DNA. You’ll master the art of making a more positive, sustainable impact – for both the people who enable organisations to function and the environments within which we all live and work.

By the time you complete this two-year double degree, you’ll have acquired a more in-depth understanding of how to navigate business in its most connected, cross-cultural sense and be ready to lead those around you too. It’s a practical and progressive program designed to challenge bright business minds – and elevate your expertise in exciting and inspiring ways.
