About the course

Today's demanding and evolving business world requires managers who can master advanced management. They must deal with the complexities of an interconnected, international business environment.

The programme is for graduates in non-business subjects without previous managerial experience or those who wish to deepen their understanding of the management process.

You will become a competent and confident professional by fostering the development of key practical skills and academic knowledge.

Throughout the programme you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how organisations operate. You will adopt a range of strategic, up-to-date perspectives and become proficient in marketing, finance, and human resource management. This will enhance your ability to manage change that will benefit the organisation as a whole.

Develop the analytical skills to make informed decisions when dealing with a range of management issues. Learn to consider the wider environment in which organisations operate and the social impact of the choices that you make.

You'll also have the opportunity to help out local SMEs with their challenges via our Business Clinic.
