Why choose this course?
Management is a key activity in organisations of all kinds, being fundamental to organisational performance and success.
In a world where organisations are being disrupted and expectations of work and professional practice are changing, we will develop your skills in entrepreneurial thinking and strategic decision making. You will be able to manage teams, risk, projects and operations in changing environments.
The role of the manager in innovating, collaborating, planning and implementing the efficient and effective use of organisational resources is the focus of this major, whether that is in new entrepreneurial ventures or established organisations.
The management major has an eight unit structure and offers streams in management or entrepreneurship.
Real-world learning
In addition to the internship unit, Workplace learning, you will have the opportunity to participate in programs that provide valuable learning experiences beyond the classroom: hackathons, negotiation competitions, start-up weekends, pitch practice, innovation challenges, international case competitions, blogging and real-world collaborations with others from industry, other disciplines and government.

Create your dream
‘I chose entrepreneurship as a career because you control what you do. You create the vision, you create the dream and then you execute and action those to become a reality. QUT gave me key learnings and a foundation of knowledge that I used to ensure my business got through the toughest stage of start-up. It also gave me a great network of friends who I still remain in contact with and have helped shape my business.’
CEO and founder of the Bearded Chap
Real graduate
'After completing my study at QUT, I had all the fundamentals I needed to hit the ground running and do what I do today. My management degree at QUT helped me land an amazing job in London. Now I’m a project manager at one of the largest professional services groups.'

A real, competitive advantage
‘My exchange to Singapore Management University was a highlight of my degree and gave me skills, insights and experience, as well as a competitive advantage employment-wise. Developing cultural intelligence is a core outcome for students and through my exchange experience I feel I’ve developed a firm base to build upon for working in today’s globally integrated world.’
Triple crown accreditation
‘Receiving the Triple Crown Scholarship was a nice surprise. It assisted me financially, and motivated me to strive to do my best. I chose QUT because of its triple crown accreditation and its flexible and practical courses. Also, the support services here are fantastic and the lecturers and tutors are very helpful.’
