MILA University

The Master of Science in Business (by Research) is designed to meet both regional and national needs for a highly skilled, research-driven workforce in the business sector. Business and management remain among the most promising and impactful fields globally, continually shaped by innovation, research, and commercialisation. Recognising this, the Malaysian government has highlighted business and management as crucial drivers for Malaysia’s transformation into a knowledge-based and industrialised nation. To support this vision, the programme develops graduates who are not only academically strong but also capable of applying advanced research to address real-world business challenges. The business industry today demands professionals with expertise across multiple disciplines including human resources, marketing, accounting, finance, management, fintech, and entrepreneurship. At the same time, the rapid adoption of Industrial Revolution 4.0 technologies and the rise of the digital economy call for leaders with sharper management skills, data-driven decision-making abilities, and the agility to respond to fast-changing market landscapes. This research-based programme is purpose-built to produce graduates capable of conducting impactful business and management research, applying analytical and information-driven approaches to strategic decision-making, and contributing to a future-ready business ecosystem that fosters innovation, sustainability, and growth. With a strong emphasis on knowledge creation and application, the programme empowers students to meet the demands of today’s economy while actively shaping the businesses and industries of tomorrow.
