De Montfort University, Faculty of Business and Law Masters Degrees

As a postgraduate student in the Faculty of Business and Law you will be joining a thriving, international community that benefits from the many nationalities and culture of its students and staff and welcomes and supports students at all stages of their careers.

Situated in the purpose-built £35 million Hugh Aston building, the faculty combines modern facilities with IT labs, study suites, learning zones, a bookshop and a cage and can provide full-time, part-time and distance-learning options.

To ensure distance learners experience the same excellent teaching as students on campus, DMU has invested heavily in online learning resources.

Our courses are designed to meet the needs of modern employers and contain content that is both relevant to industry today and ensure students gain the professional skills and practical experience organisations are looking for.
