Program Learning Outcomes By the end of this program graduates will be able to:

1. Identify and critically assess the impact of environments on an organisational area to identify appropriate strategic choices and show leadership in adopting and managing implementation.
2. Synthesise and apply appropriate leadership styles and behaviours in order to lead teams and stakeholders effectively.
Apply a cross-cultural framework to self-reflect on, interpret, adapt to, and learn from new and diverse work contexts when operating in a business environment.
4. Assess the ethical, social and environmentalfactors of an organisation's conduct.
5. Critically reflect on personal values with respect to ethical, social and environmental issues when operating in a business environment.
6. Using a range of frameworks and tools, develop strategies that create and deliver sustainable value beyond traditional measures of business performance and assess the impact of these strategies on stakeholder relationships (including customers, shareholders, partners, networks, government, community and environment).
Learning and Teaching Methods The program incorporates a variety of learning and teaching methods including formal lectures, group discussions, group projects, online learning, practical experience and individual workplace-based projects.

Students are exposed to frameworks related to the fundamentals of management and strategy. These will form the basis for discussion and collaboration within the interactive environment of the classroom. Material will be applied directly to business situations through case studies and assessment.

As students progress through the program, they are given the opportunity to put their learning into practice with both live business-cases within classes and a compulsory internship program.
Assessment Assessment of student learning and feedback on progress are facilitated through unit assessments. Assessment tasks are aligned with learning outcomes for each unit and graduate capabilities.

All standard, 4 credit point units taught at MGSM are structured to have a standard student workload of 150 hours, including 40 hours of class interaction time allocated to a combination of group and individual assessment items, based on the learning outcomes of each unit.

The MGSM applies an annual Assurance of Learning Programme (AOL) in which students are assessed on rubrics based on the mission-driven attributes of leadership, global mindset, sustainable value and citizenship. Results are collected, disseminated and analysed, and used to inform unit and curriculum development as part of a continuous improvement process.

Students are assessed on both group and individual work in all core units. Syndicate group assessments are considered an important aspect of the collaborative learning approach taken, reflecting the typical environment encountered within a management career.

Assessment methods include:
o individual essay or report
o group project and report
o critical reflection paper
o presentation (group or individual)
o case study
o in-class test
o research project
o literature review
o client presentation
o final examination.

Program Standards and Quality

The program is subject to an ongoing comprehensive process of quality review in accordance with a pre-determined schedule that complies with the Higher Education Standards Framework. The review is overseen by Macquarie University's peak academic governance body, the Academic Senate and takes into account feedback received from students, staff and external stakeholders.
Graduate Destinations and Employability Qualifications alone will not result in a new job or advancement in a career, consequentially MGSM offers its students a range of complimentary services to assist them in navigating a successful career path. For instance, students can access expert career guidance through personal consultations with dedicated, professional career advisors. MGSM offers career coaching to help students' unlock their career potential through increased awareness of their strongest motivators and interests, transferable skills and personal values, leading to increased career satisfaction and success. MGSM also conducts a range of career preparation seminars covering key skill areas and provides networking opportunities with prospective employers, as well as recruitment road-show events.

MGSM's Master of Management students also gain work experience with influential local and global organisations. This experience is achieved through a compulsory Professional Practice unit (that is equivalent to 2 units) embedded in the Master of Management program structure. The Professional Practice unit and other such industry experience opportunities available in MGSM's Master of Management program expose students to contemporary business practice and perspectives in environments that help them to develop critical professional skills necessary to be successful in management roles.

Further to this, recruiters, employers, management consultants, executive search firms and even members of MGSM's alumni community regularly source talent directly from MGSM due to MGSM's consistent ranking as one of the world's top business schools for student quality.
