ONLINE MASTER OF MANAGEMENT FAQs

The Sunway University Online Master of Management (MMgmt) is a postgraduate degree for executives, fresh graduates, middle managers, and entrepreneurs who want to excel in modern management fit for Digital Age workforces and workplaces. The programme’s subjects cover a mix of human resource management (people leadership), technical skills, and strategic management to produce influential leaders who are well-positioned to take on modern management challenges and opportunities in an ever-evolving world of work.

Data from the Institute of Labour Market Information and Analysis (Q2 2023) shows that Management and Administration is among the most-requested fields of study across all occupations, pointing to strong employer demand for graduates in this field.

Given the multifaceted nature of management and the need for managerial roles across disciplines, Master of Management graduates can look forward to employment and promotion opportunities in an array of industries ranging from human resources and marketing to sports, hospitality, and even science.

A Master of Management differs from a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in a number of ways.

For one, a Master of Management is more geared towards early- to mid-career professionals and fresh graduates. An MBA, on the other hand, is more suitable for mid- to advanced-career professionals who have substantial working experience.

Furthermore, a Master of Management’s curriculum has a stronger focus on organisational behaviour and business management, and is overall more people-oriented. An MBA is more likely to cover a spectrum of specific business skills, such as finance and economics.

A Master of Management graduate is able to explore a wide variety of roles in general management, cutting across disciplines and industries, while an MBA graduate is more equipped for specialised roles that require technical expertise, such as Finance Manager and Chief Operating Officer.

While a Master of Management typically focuses on general management principles and leadership, a Master of Finance specialises in financial theory, markets, and instruments.

In a Master of Management curriculum, subjects usually cover management theories, practical leadership skills, and business strategy, whereas a Master of Finance curriculum covers corporate finance, investment analysis, risk management, financial modelling, and quantitative methods.

Graduates of a Master of Management programme are poised to take on a wide range of managerial and leadership roles across various industries, such as General Manager, Business Consultant, Marketing Manager, Project Manager, and Operations Manager.

Meanwhile, a Master of Finance graduate is qualified for roles in investment banking, asset management, corporate finance, financial analysis, and risk management, like Financial Analyst, Investment Banker, Portfolio Manager, Risk Manager, and Financial Consultant.

Yes, it is. As it spans a wide variety of areas such as management theories, project management, and fundamental business principles, a Master of Management equips you with the comprehensive skill set necessary to handle diverse management roles across all kinds of business environments, including sports management, retail, hospitality, and science and engineering.

If you fall into any of the following categories – early- to mid-career professionals, recent graduates, and entrepreneurs – a Master of Management will greatly benefit you by developing your overall management and leadership skills, which are essential in any industry and particularly today, with the challenges and opportunities presented by Digital Age shifts in the workplace. Additionally, undertaking a master’s programme provides you with the opportunity to network with industry professionals, enabling you to raise your profile, gain valuable insights, and boost your career opportunities.

With a Master of Management degree, you can look forward to a variety of dynamic and rewarding prospects across multiple disciplines and industries. Graduates with this degree are well-equipped for roles such as General Manager, Marketing Manager, Business Consultant, Human Resource Manager, Entrepreneur, Resort Manager, Athletic Director, and Quality Assurance Manager, just to name a few.

Due to how versatile and sought-after a managerial skill set is, you can also pursue global business and career opportunities abroad, and work with multinational corporations.

Some of the specialisations you will find under a Master of Management are Human Resource Management, International Business, Marketing Management, and Strategic Management. There are also general Master of Management programmes that cover the core aspects of the aforementioned specialisations.

When choosing a niche, it is important to consider your career goals, interests, and your preferred industries. With the Sunway University Online Master of Management, you get to expand your career horizons with a curriculum that takes a holistic approach to management excellence. The subjects equip you with a rich set of skills – from people leadership and project management to business ethics and entrepreneurship – that will empower you to contribute to and excel in a wide range of roles in multiple industries.
