The Master of Business provides exciting career options for students holding existing business or other tertiary qualifications. For candidates who have not completed prior tertiary studies in business, the Master of Business program provides a sound grounding in essential business skills, which are necessary for career progression in many public and private sector organisations. The Master of Business provides candidates who have existing business qualifications with an opportunity to either broaden their knowledge or develop higher level specialised skills in their chosen discipline, both of which are in high demand in today's labour market.Candidates who have appropriate prior qualifications and are seeking professional accounting accreditation may be able to satisfy educational requirements for entry to the CPA program or the ICAA's Chartered Accounting Foundations program.
