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 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.
