The Master of Social Impact (MA-SI) is designed for high-performing professionals seeking to build skills and advance their career in the growing field of social impact.

You will already have relevant industry experience. Whether you’re a manager in the philanthropy and not-for-profit sector, working in government in a policy-making capacity, or dedicated to corporate responsibility and social innovation in the private sector, the MA-SI will provide you with the core capabilities needed to lead people effectively in a rapidly changing social economy and business environment.

Taught through the Centre for Social Impact Swinburne, you’ll benefit from interactive learning and access to world-class researchers and academics. Accelerate your knowledge with deep discussions as you share your experiences with fellow students, hear first-person contemporary case-studies and gain rare insights from industry experts.

 

Foundation units enable you to apply design thinking to opportunity discovery, before building expertise in social investment and philanthropy, corporate responsibility and accountability, and social impact through entrepreneurship and innovation.

 

Then, build your specialist knowledge in leadership for social impact, evaluation and impact measurement before you apply advanced real-world experience in strategic philanthropy and social venture development.

 

Finish your Master program by choosing a business specialisation or electives to match your career interests. The wide range of options – from accounting to supply chain innovation – will ensure you graduate with the skills and preparation needed for the next level of your career as an agent of ethical and sustainable change.
