Master of Capability Management

Capitalising on Capabilities

In an increasingly competitive business environment, there is a need to structure, combine and leverage internal and external resources for the purpose of creating value for stakeholders and maximise competitive advantage. Capability management balances the sustainable use of these resources and the development of future capabilities with current operational requirements to meet strategic business objectives.

The Master of Capability Management at UNSW Canberra is designed for students who wish to gain a more detailed understanding of the managerial and technical skills and expertise relevant to planning and acquisition of complex technology and systems.

This program will provide you with a high level of understanding of the issues associated with the development and management of capability and capability systems. You will explore the technical and management factors that influence the design, performance, employability, logistic supportability and technical integrity of materiel systems to achieve capability requirements.
