The degree at a glance
A Malaysia double major: lead the organisation, grow the market
The Bachelor of Commerce (Management and Marketing) is a three-year, full-time, on-campus double major. Curtin publishes the code (R3/0414/6/0059)(11/29)(MQA/SWA0015) - and the Malaysian Qualifications Register lists MQA/SWA0015, a self-accredited entry ongoing since 3 May 2003 with no end date shown. Curtin frames the combination as leadership plus customer connection: the management side covers problem solving, decision making, leading people, budgets and projects with ethics and sustainability; the marketing side is described as a blend of behavioural science and creativity, from consumer behaviour, advertising and public relations to digital and social media marketing, pricing, promotion, distribution and international marketing.
Two framings matter before you shortlist it. First, this is the people-plus-market pairing: unlike the finance double majors, there is no quantitative finance spine here - the grid is management units and marketing units in lockstep, with practical learning through real-world projects, social media management tools, internships and study tours as published. Second, the recognition wording covers the marketing side only: Curtin states graduates of the marketing major within this course may be recognised internationally by the Chartered Institute of Marketing - the university's own statement, quoted exactly, with the body setting its own rules. Curtin also lists this course at Perth, Mauritius and Singapore; this page covers the Malaysia campus.

Malaysia double major: what the grid tells you
- No finance spine: the most quantitative unit is first-year Analytics for Decision Making - a genuine fit difference from the finance double majors
- The marketing spine is practical and current: social media platform management, digital marketing and e-commerce, content creation, services marketing
- Credit-point gates stack in year 3 (300, 375 and 400-credit prerequisites as published) - the sequence cannot be compressed; we confirm your study plan for the intake
Unit names, the published prerequisite chain and the credit-point gates (100, 200, 300, 375 and 400) are from the official programme page, checked 11 November 2026, reproduced as shown.
Annual fees, not a degree total
Malaysia management and marketing tuition: the ringgit figures and your INR reference
The programme publishes international tuition of RM38,200 (about Rs8.96 lakh) per year and local tuition of RM27,300 (about Rs6.40 lakh) per year. Curtin's indicative course-fee schedule repeats the international figure in both its 2026 and 2027 Bachelor of Commerce tables; the local figure moves to RM27,400 in the 2027 table. Our conversions use RM1 = Rs23.4525, the 29 October 2026 historical reference, not a promise about the rate when you pay.

Malaysia entry: CBSE 60%, HSC 65%, with no prerequisite line published
Curtin publishes two Indian board cutoffs for this double major: 60% for CBSE and 65% for India HSC. This programme page publishes no subject prerequisite line - and unlike the finance double majors, the grid here is genuinely less quantitative, so the fit question shifts to communication strength and an interest in how organisations and customers work. Meeting a published cutoff is not an admission guarantee.
Malaysia entry: Indian boards
The absence of a prerequisite line is a fact about this page, checked 11 November 2026. We still review your subject mix before you apply - the degree includes analytics, economics options and finance-principles options.
Malaysia entry: other published routes
Also published: HKDSE 15; Ontario Grade 12 (best of 6) 60; WAUFP (CPS) 54; Pakistan 75%; Sri Lanka 5. Diploma applications are treated case by case. The page does not give a diploma credit-transfer guarantee.
Your subjects come before a course shortlist. Send your board, subject names and marks to our Calicut team. We can check which published entry route fits and ask Curtin about an unclear subject or diploma route before you build a budget around it.
English evidence
Malaysia English entry: an IELTS band floor as well as an overall score
The published IELTS requirement is overall 6.0 with no individual band below 6.0. Curtin also lists TOEFL 68 with minimums W21, L13, R13 and S18; SPM CEFR B2; GCE A Level English E; and GCE O Level English C. An overall IELTS 6.0 with a 5.5 section does not meet the requirement shown here.

Malaysia intakes for Management and Marketing: February or July
The official page lists both starts for this double major. Credit-point gates run through both majors - 100 credits for second-year management units, 300 for managing change and strategy, 375 plus consumer behaviour for strategic marketing, 400 for services marketing - so the study plan matters as much as the start month. We confirm the full sequence with Curtin for your intake, then work back from your school results, English evidence and student-pass process. A published intake month is not an application deadline.
Check the course progression as well as the start date. Curtin publishes practical learning through real-world projects, social media management tools, internships and study tours - the final semester carries the capstone choice with published credit-point prerequisites. Your plan should leave room for the full sequence.
After the degree
Malaysia careers after the double major: management tracks and brand teams
Curtin publishes a combined career list. Management side: management consultant, office administrator, general manager, product manager, business development officer, industrial relations officer, operations officer, purchasing officer, executive assistant, retail manager and service delivery manager. Marketing side: marketing officer, market researcher, events coordinator, fundraising coordinator, market research analyst, online marketing specialist, marketing communications manager, advertising professional, brand manager, direct marketer, marketing executive, new product developer, publications officer and sports marketing executive. Curtin frames the outcomes as versatile careers across management, consulting, branding, digital marketing, retail, advertising, government, tourism and service industries. No job or salary is promised; these are published directions, not outcomes.
Curtin states graduates of the marketing major within this course may be recognised internationally by the Chartered Institute of Marketing. We quote that exactly as published: recognition terms are set by the body and can change, the statement names the marketing major rather than the whole double major, and recognition is not membership or a professional licence. The MQR entry (MQA/SWA0015) is a self-accredited listing ongoing since 2003 with no end date shown - one of Curtin Malaysia's longest-running business entries.
Budget without a guessed award
Malaysia funding planning: separate tuition from a scholarship decision
The Bachelor of Commerce (Management and Marketing) programme page does not establish a scholarship amount or deadline for an Indian applicant. We quote neither. If funding is part of your decision, ask us to check the award's nationality rules, course scope, continuation conditions and application dates in writing.
Start your comparison with the published annual international tuition of RM38,200 (about Rs8.96 lakh), then add the stated 6% service tax for international students, living costs, visa costs, books and other charges. An award belongs in the budget only after its conditions and your eligibility are confirmed.

Curtin Malaysia Commerce (Management and Marketing): FAQ
How does this Malaysia double major differ from Finance and Marketing?
The first major changes. Finance and Marketing keeps the full quantitative finance spine - investment analysis, corporate finance, portfolio management, derivatives. Management and Marketing replaces it with the people-and-organisations sequence: organisational behaviour, international management, entrepreneurship, managing change, strategic management and business ethics. The marketing spine is the same in both.
What recognition does this Malaysia double major carry?
Curtin states graduates of the marketing major within this course may be recognised internationally by the Chartered Institute of Marketing. The statement names the marketing major specifically; there is no published finance-style recognition on the management side. The body sets its own rules - we confirm the current position for your intake before you rely on it.
Is this Malaysia degree less maths-heavy than the finance double majors?
Yes, on the published grid. The only explicitly quantitative core unit is first-year Analytics for Decision Making, and the optional list includes Introductory Economics and Introduction to Finance Principles if you want more. No subject prerequisite line is published. We still check your subject mix so the fit is deliberate, not accidental.
Is RM38,200 (about Rs8.96 lakh) a fixed annual Malaysia fee?
It is the published international annual reference, corroborated by Curtin's indicative 2026 and 2027 schedule. It is not a fixed full-degree quote. Semester charging applies, plus a 6% service tax on international higher-education fees from 1 July 2025; accommodation, textbooks and materials are separate. We confirm the amount applying to your enrolment before payment.
