Our MBA with Marketing pathway is aimed at aspiring or practising managers who seek a deeper understanding of how an enterprise operates and how, as managers and organisational leaders, you can initiate and successfully bring about change within the enterprise.
You can expect to have to think critically and strategically in order to find solutions to complex problems within an ever-changing and ambiguous business environment, and consider how to practice responsibly and ethically, being mindful of cultural differences in an increasingly globally-connected environment.
What you'll study
How goods and services are transferred to the market is becoming more complex, where pricing, advertising and the development of an attractive brand is ever more challenging in a global world shaped by rapid change.
To do these things efficiently and effectively, leadership and a capacity to act and think strategically is required.
With professional experience option
The professional experience opportunity2 enables you the opportunity to apply for optional professional experience in semester 1, which, upon successfully securing an opportunity, will extend the duration of your master’s to either 16, 20 or 24 months. The professional experience provides an opportunity for you to develop expertise and experience in your chosen field with the aim of enhancing your employability.
Professional experience may also be subject to additional costs, visa requirements being met, subject to availability and/or competitive application. Professional experience opportunities are not guaranteed but you will benefit from the support of our Talent Team in trying to find and secure an opportunity.
