Management, MSc

The MSc in Management provides future managers with a grounding in key functional areas of Business together with a clear understanding of how these functions are integrated in successful and globally orientated 21st century organisations. This learning is tightly connected with a practical application of your skills and knowledge, in particular through a live consultancy project which you will undertake during the final part of your study.

Why study this course?

The MSc in Management provides future managers with a grounding in the key functional areas of business and the way that these areas are integrated in globally orientated organisations. These key functions are studied in an initial set of core modules which then allow you to specialise in a specific area or route and complete your course with a live business consultancy project.

The course is primarily designed for those holding a good first degree, but with little direct experience in business.

The framework for all of our full-time MSc in Management courses, enables us to keep up to date with a range of dynamic modules relevant to the aspirations and needs of a new generation of global leaders. Our curriculum is reviewed and developed through consultation with our students, employers and alumni. Central to our course design is engagement with external businesses and organisations, leading to direct experience of consultancy work.
