Program Overview

The Master of Business (MBus) is an advanced research award that is undertaken under supervision. The program aims to develop the applied research skills of Business graduates to enable them to either move into senior management or to undertake doctoral studies.

The MBus involves a substantial thesis that is based on rigorous empirical research within a sound conceptual framework drawing on an established literature. Note that the MBus is seen as an advanced research award building on a Bachelor of Business and training in research methodology.

Entry Requirements

Candidates for the award of Master of Business are normally required to hold a Bachelors degree with at least second class honours Division 1 from a recognised higher education institution.

Applicants who have completed a Bachelors degree and have achieved by subsequent work and study a standard equivalent to at least second class honours Division 1 may also be considered. In exceptional cases applications may be considered on the basis of other evidence of general and professional qualifications as approved by the Research Management Committee.
