Develop your career in business and management as a socially engaged, ethically aware and globally connected professional who is creative, enterprising, resilient, and innovative.
The MA in Business and Management in the Bath Business School provides you with a broad introduction to the fundamental principles of business and management in a rapidly changing, increasingly globalised world. Supported by practice-based interdisciplinary teaching and research, you will develop your business expertise alongside the practical and professional skills needed to effectively manage the challenging issues affecting organisations today.
You also have the option of taking the MA with a ‘pathway’ route, allowing you to focus on one of four specific areas:
- MA Business and Management (Accounting)
- MA Business and Management (Entrepreneurship)
- MA Business and Management (International Business)
- Ma Business and Management (Marketing)
COURSE STRUCTURE
Our courses are designed to offer you choice in tailoring your final degree content to match your academic interest and future career development. You will take a mix of ‘core’ and ‘option’ taught modules and complete a major dissertation/ consultancy project.
If you choose the consultancy project, you will work with an existing or newly-started business on a specific issue or challenge facing the organisation in the real world. Based on your own investigations and contextualisation, you will provide ideas, information and management advice to the host business, further developing your academic and research skills and giving you invaluable practical and professional experience.
If select to study on a ‘pathway’ route, there are pathway-specific ‘required’ modules, and your final dissertation/consultancy project will be in your chosen pathway area.
