Master of Commerce

Faculty of Commerce

The Master of Commerce provides the fundamental skills to allow non-Commerce graduates to obtain a stand-alone qualification in preparation for a career in either small- or large-scale business contexts, as well as facilitating entry to a more specialised professional degree offered through the Faculty’s double Masters programs.

The course comprises four core subjects, covering marketing management, strategic management, economics and accounting foundations for professionals, plus a further four subjects selected from any postgraduate Commerce subject. Students wishing to gain a concentration of study may take the four additional subjects from the same area (for example finance, marketing, or management) or may choose from the broad range of subjects across the Faculty. Alternatively, students can take one of the formal major studies available in the Master of Commerce, which include:

- Public Relations
- Finance
- Regional Development
- Organisational Innovation
- eCommerce

Students who gain admission to the Master of Commerce on the basis of a recognised Bachelors degree in business, accountancy or finance, and who complete the first session with an average mark of 60%, have the option to fast-track entry into a specialist Commerce degree.
