For degree progression examples see the University of Sydney Business School handbook [link to handbook].

Capstone experience

The capstone experience in the Master of Management (CEMS) is a business project which comprises two units of study, designed to provide students with a real life learning experience and to provide assurance of learning for the program as a whole. Students will work in small groups of four or five and partner with a real organisation over a six week period to provide solutions to a real business problem identified in consultation with the partner organisations. Projects will range from social entrepreneurship programs, where students work with community groups and NGOs, through to consultancy projects for large multinational corporations.
