Course overview

High-quality research lays the foundation for cutting-edge innovation, technological advancement, economic growth and knowledge expansion. In the field of business, such research has provided invaluable expertise across a broad spectrum of matters, such as global development, corporate social responsibility, consumer choice, financial inclusion, and poverty reduction and social welfare. Today, ongoing research continues to play a vital role in improving the quality of life for individuals and communities worldwide, and the efficacy of organisations and industries. The Master of Research in Business is a unique postgraduate research training degree that will equip you to complete a PhD within three years, if further research is your goal. With mentoring from experts in your field, you’ll specialise in research preparation and focus on a specific research topic at the sub-discipline level to deliver a 20,000-word thesis. The degree also provides a strong background for employment in a range of national and international non-academic settings.
