Management (MSc)

Our Management programme is an outstanding opportunity for graduates who wish to develop practical, functional business knowledge and skills to improve their employment prospects. The programme aims to develop understanding of the core aspects of business management and to build on the skills and competencies relevant to middle management and to senior roles. It is especially suitable for students who have taken non-business degrees or who wish to reinforce their business knowledge.

Our experiences of working with a wide range of industrial partners and managerial teams have fed directly into the design of our Management programme, which includes core modules designed to equip you with key business skills sought by modern organisations. In addition, the wide range of optional modules gives you the flexibility to tailor the programme to suit your individual career aspirations.

All of our modules use contemporary case studies and skills-based coursework, ensuring that as a graduate you will be equipped to apply the very latest management best-practice and to contribute quickly and purposefully to the running of any organisation.

Core study areas include accounting and financial management, human resource management, marketing in the organisation, operations management, information systems and management, global strategic management, management analysis, and skills for employability and personal development.
