Overview

The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) programme, which culminates in a research thesis, strives to advance knowledge beyond what is found in undergraduate honours or postgraduate diploma programmes.

Other postgraduate degrees are different from the Master of Philosophy (Business and Management) as it allows students to acquire in-depth knowledge, proficiency, and research abilities through the use of research. The MPhil programme's research is a supervised programme, giving students the chance to develop their design, execution, and communication skills while adding to the body of current knowledge.

Through this course, students can develop their skills as independent researchers and subject-matter authorities in their chosen areas of business and management.
