Strengthen your ability to lead people, projects and organisational change through industry-connected study that combines contemporary management thinking with practical problem-solving and strategic decision-making.

Course overview

Effective managers need to understand how people, strategy, technology and organisational priorities come together. Macquarie University’s Master of Management develops the broad business perspective and practical leadership capabilities needed to manage change, make informed decisions and create value across different organisational settings.

You will explore leadership, digital innovation, global management, project management and strategic change before applying your knowledge through a capstone management project. Genuine projects developed with organisations such as EY and Konica Minolta provide opportunities to engage with clients, respond to business challenges and present actionable recommendations. Elective study can further develop your expertise in entrepreneurship, negotiation, finance, people management or data-driven change.

Delivered in person at Macquarie University’s North Ryde campus, the course can be completed in one, 1.5 or two years of full-time study, depending on your previous qualifications, academic performance and relevant professional experience. You will also have access to networking and industry events offered through the AACSB-accredited Macquarie Business School.
