The Master of Marketing is an advanced program designed for marketing professionals who are looking to enhance their marketing knowledge and skills. In unique and innovative ways, it marries contemporary marketing issues with a critical, research-based approach to learning.

Specialisation in particular aspects of marketing is a highly distinctive feature of the program. These specialist streams draw directly and explicitly on the research strengths of the School, with streams in services and business-to-business marketing, international and global marketing, understanding consumers and customers, decision support and marketing analytics, brand management and marketing communications.

This program is taught on-campus. The typical program duration is 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time.

The program provides a platform for high achievers to move into general management, to assume senior marketing roles or to become skilled leaders in a specialist area of marketing. Entry to this program requires an academic background in a marketing related field, and relevant work experience.
