Why Business Taught Masters?

A degree from the Business Taught Masters suite is more than just a degree. A BTM degree enhances your degree with the addition of business skills without the need to take undergraduate level courses.

As well as applied business skills and opportunities for consulting type projects with local industry, students also have opportunities to enhance their job-ready skills with a series of seminars and other opportunities outside the formal classroom.

UC Business School takes pride in its personalised support tailored for both domestic and international students.

As a student of the programme, you will have access to support for your study, life, and career, including a dedicated orientation when you arrive, pastoral care services, career development seminars, and additional certification opportunities.
