28/7/2004


The MGSM Master of Management programme is a specialized Master level programme that allows students to focus on a particular area of management. Taught at the same level as the MBA, the Master of Management has been specially designed to suit the needs of the local students with active professional careers in eight specializations including:

- General Management
- Human Resource Management
- Information Technology Management
- Logistics & Operations Management
- Marketing Management
- International Management
- Financial Management
- Hospitality & Tourism Management (New Programme)

Each specialized programme offered in Hong Kong is structured as an 18-month course of part-time study. It comprises 10 course units and each unit is taught face-to-face (40 hours) by Macquarie academic staff. The total course fee is HK$119,000 (by 10instalments). After successful completion of the Master of Management programme, students will receive full credit for units already completed in the Master of Management.
