BGSB offers Master of Business programs in 10 different disciplinary fields and gives you the opportunity to gain specialist knowledge in a business discipline of your choice. Each discipline area within the Master of Business consists of 144 credit points of study which comprises both core and elective units. For those who are new to the discipline, there are 48 credit points of introductory units through which you will develop an appropriate level of foundation knowledge. Alternatively, if you have an appropriate undergraduate degree you may be entitled to receive advanced standing for the introductory units. The remaining component of the major enables the development of deeper discipline knowledge through core and elective units (96 credit points).
An optional 48 credit points of additional study is available in the Master of Business - (Advanced) program and gives you the opportunity to extend your studies, including options of a research dissertation, further coursework studies in your chosen major, or the choice of a minor in another business discipline. Under certain circumstances the Advanced program can also provide a pathway to doctoral-level studies in the PhD or DBA programs.

Dissertation option
A dissertation will allow you to apply your knowledge to a real-world problem or area of interest through independent research. The completion of such a research project will not only give you expert knowledge in a specific area of your business major, but also provide you with skills in research techniques to apply in the workplace, or expand your academic opportunities to include PhD level study.
Complementary business minor
Further coursework studies are available in majors where professional recognition requirements dictate the content of the Masters program - so this option gives you more flexibility to choose units of most interest to you. The choice of a minor in another business discipline allows you to diversify your knowledge through a complementary or alternative business area.
What our graduates say about our programs...
"I completed my undergraduate degree at QUT in 2002 and immediately jumped on a plane for London to spend a year traveling around Europe. When I returned, I was unsure of a career path but liked the thought of specialising through a postgraduate degree. I chose QUT because I had studied there previously and really liked their approach to learning. I enrolled in the Masters program and because of my interest in information systems and enterprise-wide resource planning, I tailored my degree in this direction."
