Master of Management

Overview

Our management programmes equip you with the knowledge and skills for leadership in the modern business environment. Whether you graduate with a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Master’s degree, you will be empowered to turn your professional aspirations into reality.

Unique Features of the Programme

Stackable credentials
Our management programmes are designed to be stackable, in line with the national emphasis on lifelong learning. You may choose to graduate with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Management or progress to the Master of Management, according to your needs and ambitions.

Thematic courses
Courses offered within our management programmes are organised into four management themes, culminating in applied learning. Please see diagram presented below. This structure helps you plan and organise your studies and develop focused skills and deeper expertise.

You may read courses from any of the four management themes, and you are not required to read courses from all themes or complete all courses within any one theme. For the avoidance of doubt, the theme(s) you choose will not be reflected on your degree certificate or academic transcript.
Each management theme is anchored by a foundation course that is worth 5CU. Please see courses marked with an asterisk. These foundation courses ensure that all learners, regardless of their academic or professional background, begin with a strong and common grounding in core management areas.

Applied learning courses are worth either 5CU or 10CU. These courses turn theory into practice through real-world projects and industry engagement, giving you the opportunity to work on authentic business challenges, collaborate with practitioners, and apply your learning in meaningful contexts.

Flexible bite-sized courses
Courses offered, apart from the foundation and applied learning courses, are typically worth 2.5CU. This means that you are only required to attend three three-hour seminars, conducted either face-to-face or online. This flexible format allows you to embark on a learning journey that fits your lifestyle.
Extensive specialisations
Our management programmes offer opportunities for specialisation in a wide array of disciplines listed below. These specialisations allow you to deepen your expertise in areas that complement your professional goals, while developing the versatility needed to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.

	"The MMGT programme has been a transformative part of my personal and professional journey, seamlessly integrating academic depth with real-world leadership application. As someone returning to formal education after more than two decades in aviation, I found the curriculum and the faculty’s approach deeply affirming. The Professional Life Coaching specialisation not only honed my ability to support others meaningfully but also encouraged deep reflection on what it means to lead with empathy and clarity. What stands out most about the programme is its respect for diverse lived experiences, where learners are not just taught, but truly seen. I am grateful to SUSS for championing a learning environment where growth is measured not just by grades, but by the courage to evolve, to contribute, and to lead quietly but impactfully." SHAM KUMAR SINGH MMGT–PLC graduating cohort 2025

The MMGT (HCM) programme came at the right time in my career, giving me the tools and confidence to grow professionally. As a new mother balancing work, family, and school, the flexibility of the stackable modules made it possible for me to keep learning without losing momentum. Modules like Corporate Governance, Sustainability, Fostering Happiness at Work, the Future of Work and Impactful Leadership, sharpened my strategic thinking and deepened my understanding of how the workforce and leadership must evolve.
