Master of Management

The Master of Management at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) provides advanced knowledge and practical skills for professionals seeking to accelerate their careers in human resource management and related leadership roles. Students will explore key topics such as organisational behaviour, strategic HR, people analytics, talent management, and business leadership, with a focus on responding to Australia's dynamic and diverse workforce needs.

This 1.5-year degree is typically structured across three semesters, comprising core and elective units of study which together accumulate credit points as prescribed by UTS. Students may have opportunities for professional placements or work-integrated learning, a feature of many UTS business courses that strengthen connections to Australian industry and build job-ready experience. A capstone project or applied research component may allow students to tackle a real-world management challenge or undertake a significant piece of HR research.

Graduates gain advanced skills in leadership, negotiation, performance management, workforce planning, and employment relations, all grounded in an Australian context. The course is suited to early or mid-career professionals seeking to lead teams, drive organisational change, or specialise in human resource management. Given UTS’s strong industry links and location in Sydney – a major business hub – students benefit from networking opportunities with local employers and practitioners.

This program aligns with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) for master’s level qualifications. International students are required to demonstrate English language proficiency; several widely recognised tests are accepted. Students on a Student visa may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during studies and can consider the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-completion to gain work experience in Australia.
