About this program

The Master of Commerce at RMIT University in Melbourne helps students build advanced business and management skills, with the chance to focus on areas such as accounting, finance, marketing, or business analytics. The course emphasises both theoretical frameworks and real-world applications, preparing graduates to deal with complex issues in the commercial sector.

Most students undertake their studies over two years, with the degree structured around units of study that add up to a set number of credit points. Core and elective subjects are typically spread over semesters, and the structure encourages students to tailor their study plan according to their career goals. There’s usually a strong focus on in-depth learning through project work or a research-focused capstone, allowing students to tackle real business problems or to research trends in their chosen field.

Hands-on experience is supported through opportunities for work-integrated learning. Students may undertake a professional placement, industry project or internship as part of their degree—these are often developed in collaboration with businesses and organisations in Melbourne and beyond, linking students directly with the business community. Through this, students gain relevant skills in teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making.

This master's suits graduates wanting to specialise further in commerce or professionals seeking to move into more senior or specialist business roles. The qualification sits at master's level on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), which makes it well-recognised both in Australia and overseas. International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream.
