Master of Business (Global Management and Marketing)

Business leadership is increasingly calibrated on an international scale. Do you have the perspectives, critical thinking and tools to lead and manage in any market, large or small, on any continent?

Lincoln University's Master of Business (Global Management and Marketing) will cultivate your talent and abilities so you can successively conduct business literally anywhere. You'll grow the business and management skills that are vital to leading and nourishing business relationships, and develop the business stewardship abilities that will make you a sought-after acquisition for any company.

Whether you are considering a taught, taught/research or research-only Master’s degree, you will need a relevant degree with a B-grade average in your 300-level courses and final year (or full-time equivalent). 

Taught Master’s degrees are usually 12-month full-time programmes. Like Bachelor’s degrees, they are delivered and assessed through a series of taught modules and may include independent research in the specialised subject area.
