Overview

Key Features

This Master of Management (Research) degree offered at University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg equires the self-motivation to drive your own learning process. When considering your application, we pay greater attention to your evidence of writing and critical thinking in the selection process.

The research methodology is larger in scope and often includes a theoretical aspect. A publication is often expected from the dissertation. If you choose to do this degree rather than by the more supported coursework and research route, we expect that you will drive this process and take responsibility for developing and improving your knowledge in the specialist area that you are researching.
