1. 什么是Master of Commerce?
Master of Commerce(商学硕士)是澳洲大学中最常见也是最广泛的一个硕士学位。说它常见是因为每一所澳洲大学都会提供,说它广泛是因为下面所设的分支专业最多达到18个,几乎涵盖了商科领域的每一个方面;最少也有3个。也正是如此,Master of Commerce让大家感到迷惑,在选择的时候甚至不知所措。下面李尚彬老师就来帮助大家详细分析这个学位课程。
澳洲绝大多数大学对 Master of Commerce这个专业的定位是一个Transitional Program,即为那些本科没有相关专业背景的学生提供的一个专业转换的途径。
看到这里,相信大家第一个问题就是, “这个课程是不是很水?”。
这个问题必须一分为二,对于本科根本没有接触过商科课程不知道基本的会计借贷规则也没听说过规划、组织、领导及控制这四个管理的主要职能的学生而言,这个课程正合适。因为他们实际需要的就是从零开始的循序渐进的学习模式。对于本科已经是商科专业的学生而言,如果不是继续学本科主修专业的方向,这个课程其实也可以作为一个商科领域的扩展。如本科主修专业为会计,在选择 Master of Commerce方向是可以选择金融、HR、市场营销等方向来进行横向扩展。
虽然大家初步接受了这个课程,但是还会感到不满足的地方是: “这个专业会不会影响就业?尤其是和那些完成了要求本科相关专业背景的商科硕士专业的学生相比?”
这里先回答第二个问题,尽管这个世界上有捷径,有事半功倍,也有非同凡人的天才,但是我们用两年的学习时间就要求达到别人花费了 5-6年一步一个脚印辛苦努力才实现的效果,尤其是这个“奇迹”还能成为一种普遍现象的时候,这对那些兢兢业业的学生来说是不是太不公平呢?所以,放弃这种想法吧。Master of Commerce只是帮助我们实现专业或职业转换这个目的,并不是一个进阶的专业课程。再来说就业的问题,其实我们毕业后能够进入的职业层次都是非常基础的,所以对知识深度的要求并不高。这种情况下,即使是Transitional Program的内容也完全可以满足。至于工作一段时间后因为职位的变化对专业知识有更高的要求,我们则可以选择去学习哪些进阶的硕士课程。本身学习就不是一个阶段性事物,而是一升中都需要不懈努力的。这个说远了,我们继续回来来分析Master of Commerce。
澳洲 8大中有两所大学的Master of Commerce与众不同,他们要求本科专业背景一致或紧密相关。这就是:
墨尔本大学
Master of Commerce(actuarial science)
Master of Commerce(Management)
Master of Commerce(Marketing)
澳洲国立大学
Master of Commerce(avance)
此外,其他 8大的Master of Commerce都可以接收本科任何专业背景的学生。
2. Master of Commerce 和Master of Business的区别
澳洲 8大中只有昆士兰大学同时开设有Master of Commerce和Master of Business学位课程。因为Commerce和Business这两个单词在中文都是指商科,所以当我们第一次看到这两个学位的名字都会一头雾水。其实进一步了解后,从两个学位下设的专业方向就能区别两者的差异并依此做出适合自己的选择。
昆士兰大学 Master of Commerce下设方向有:
Professional Accounting
Applie Finance
Information Systems
昆士兰大学 Master of Business下设方向有:
Avertising
Human Resource Management
Information Systems
Innovation an Entrepreneurship
International Business
Leaership
Marketing
Social Impact an Sustainability
Supply Chain Management
可以看到除了 Information Systems外,两者是没有重合的。因此读Master of Commerce还是Master of Business主要就看我们具体对哪个方向感兴趣了。
至于 Information Systems,Master of Business偏向于管理决策,所以基础课程是以商业及管理内容为主,其次IS方向下可以选择5门课程。而Master of Commerce偏向于实践分析,所以基础课程以金融会计为主,其次IS方向下可以选择要比Business多一门。
3.Master of Commerce的课程设置特点
除了 1中提到进阶型的Master of Commerce外,其他8大的Master of Commerce在课程设置原则上大同小异。所谓大同是指都是由基础课程、Majors/Specialisations及选修课程这三个模块组合而成;所谓小异无非就是Majors/Specialisations数量上的差异。
