Master of Global Management
Overview
Prepare to become a business leader in today’s highly connected, multicultural world. Earn 2 outstanding degrees from 2 leading institutions – UQ and an international partner in 2 years.
UQ’s Master of Global Management will reward you with invaluable insights from two cultures while also giving you the chance to make friends and build professional networks in multiple countries.
In this program, you will learn at world-renowned business schools in two countries: Australia and your choice of Aalto University in Finland, Bocconi University in Italy, ESSEC Business School in France, NHH Norwegian School of Economics in Norway or Queen’s University in Canada.
You will work on projects with students from diverse backgrounds to gain a better understanding of current and evolving issues in areas like innovation, entrepreneurship, new technologies, internationalisation and global talent management. In doing so, you will learn how to create solutions and develop high-level business skills.
Upon graduation, you will have gained a global perspective from exposure to various international business environments. Additionally, you will have acquired the practical skills and experience needed to become a business leader in our increasingly multicultural world.
All study completed at the partner institution is undertaken in English (except for the language examinations at Bocconi University).
