Program Overview

Two Masters in Two Years

This two year packaged degree allows you to complete two master programs in just two years, instead of what would normally take three years to complete separately. Initially, you will complete your first Master’s program for the duration of one and a half years. You will then receive six subjects (36 credit points) credit into your second Master’s program, allowing you to complete your second Master’s in two additional trimesters.

If you hold a bachelor’s degree in a Business or Commerce related area, you may be granted credit into your Master’s program to further shorten the duration and complete two Master’s in under two years.
