This course is designed for graduates who want to become managers or leaders of technology-based organisations. It is particularly suited to students with a technical background who are looking to understand and develop management expertise.

During the course you’ll develop skills in the research analysis and evaluation of complex business problems and gain a methodical understanding of the functional relations between business divisions that can optimise efficiency and competitiveness.
This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
Teaching
This course has two components – a taught component and a research component (dissertation) each accounting for 50% of your time and effort.
For the taught component we blend lectures with seminars syndicate exercises simulations and case studies. Each module is delivered intensively over one full week or two half weeks and classes are deliberately kept small to encourage interaction. Larger scale lectures are delivered for some modules and are backed up by seminar and syndicate activities.
Our module leaders have extensive industry experience. Guest speakers from industry also contribute regularly bringing real-world insight into your learning experience.
Assessment
At the end of each module you will be given a Post Module Assignment (PMA) based on the learning objectives of that module. This is a piece of assessed written work which should take around 60 hours to complete. Most modules also have some in-module assessed work.
For the research component each student undertakes a major individual project which will develop your research and analytical skills and enable you to specialise. This project accounts for 50% of your overall credits and is submitted in the form of a dissertation of approximately 20000 words followed by an oral examination or viva at the end of the year.
