MSc in Management

Today’s organisations in both the public and private sector are faced with global competition, tremendous technological change, unprecedented economic complexities and ever-increasing customer expectations. To meet these challenges organisations are looking for graduates who have an understanding of key management issues and the interpersonal skills needed to contribute to continuing success.

This intensive, one year, full-time Masters programme provides a broad introduction to a range of business and management disciplines and is aimed at recent or new graduates in any academic discipline.

The course aims to develop innovative, creative and entrepreneurial graduates who:

are able to apply a range of management techniques;
understand the nature of management, the complexity of organisations and how to manage change;
have developed a reflective and questioning approach that enables them to discriminate between the latest corporate fad and knowledge of a lasting value
are able to work effectively in international teams;
have the key interpersonal skills needed by organisations today.
