The MBM involves the equivalent of 12 units of study, representing 180 credit points. Total study time for the MBM is 1800 hours. The course can be completed in 3 teaching periods full time or up to 6 years part time.

The Master of Business Management develops approaches to learning that will enable practising managers to demonstrate initiative, flexibility, problem-solving ability, innovative thinking and responsiveness to change in their work environments. The Master of Business Management is a course work and project degree that provides students with unique benefits over most Master of Business Administration's. With an emphasis on the development of managerial skills and competencies, intensive use of work related assignments, adult learning and the extensive Action Learning Project, the Master of Business Management offers students a more structured and systematic approach to management education and training.
