Management Specialisation - Master of Business

In the Management specialisation in the Master of Business you'll explore why leadership and management issues are central to the functioning of any organisation, and how these issues can present as opportunities and challenges for stakeholders.

The Master of Business in Management covers the theory and practice of management, taught by research-active and dedicated staff with strong local and international connections. You'll learn through a programme of innovative courses while also working one on one with a supervisor to research a topic of your interest.

At AUT your management lecturers are strongly embedded in the real world. They bring practical examples and case studies to make your learning relevant, and are experienced researchers. With topics like wellbeing at work, newcomer socialisation, careers over the life course, decent work and leadership for a better world, you can be assured your learning is current as well as future proof.
