This program provides veterinarians and veterinary students with specialist training in organisational leadership and management, across a broad range of management settings. Students study coursework subjects within the Master of Management program covering a broad spectrum of management activities. These subjects develop the theoretical and practical knowledge required to become a successful manager and leader, such as: business decision-making, motivating and leading people, and developing organisational strategies. Additionally, students participate in relevant industry placements which culminate in a capstone industry subject. This provides for experiential learning, which will equip students with the professional skills required to gain employment in a range of veterinary industries including practice management, private industries such as pharmaceuticals, research, government and non-government organisations.
