Master of Commerce specialisation in Global Management and Innovation

A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

Please see the main programme link below for further details.

This specialisation aims to equip managers to operate in a global context, pursuing innovative solutions for organisational and societal challenges and identifying new opportunities.
Develop your ability to create, manage, sustain and change organisations through integrated courses on international management, the global competitive environment, management in diverse and uncertain contexts, and innovation and creativity.
Take the opportunity to enhance your analytical capabilities and develop valuable research skills through a research project guided by academic staff.
