This qualification is designed for domestic and international students seeking an advanced scholarly research and practice-informed management qualification. It will complement existing postgraduate studies and further career aspirations through mastery within the fields of business, health, hospitality or information technology.

The highly advanced standard at which the graduate will operate, includes the ability to develop and apply new skills and techniques to existing or emerging issues, whilst articulating theory and practice within a management scope. Graduates will work independently at a highly specialised level of knowledge, and they will engage in rigorous critical intellectual analysis and be in a position to assume leadership in a relevant management context.

Through the attainment of advanced work-integrated practice and advanced sophisticated theoretical knowledge the graduates will contribute to high level management particularly (but not exclusively) in the areas of business, health, hospitality, or information technology.
