Master of Business

A masters degree, just like our diplomas, certificates, bachelor and Doctor of Philosophy is an academic degree awarded by universities. It is at the postgraduate level, meaning to enter a masters you either need to have a degree, or a certain amount of work-experience to get started. A UniSQ masters degree usually takes two years to three years to finish with either part-time or full-time study.

A Master of Business degree is a great postgraduate study option if you already hold a bachelor degree and you are wanting to build upon your existing expertise, gain knowledge in a new discipline or expand your skillset to prepare for a career change.

With the ability to choose from many specialisations, you can explore your passion for Business and Management in so many ways with a Master of Business. It can be helpful to reflect on your professional experience and what specifically your passionate about when choosing your specialisation. Once you identify what you love and your goals, it will make it easier when it comes to selecting your degree.
