COURSE OVERVIEW

Drawing upon the Department of Management's areas of research expertise, our MSc Management with Business Innovation provides a solid grounding in key aspects of business and management while allowing you to specialise through a range of option modules focusing on business innovation.

The course examines the essentials of management theory and practice and the core principles and practice of business and organisations in a local and international context. You will gain a broad knowledge and expertise in the design and implementation of strategy at different levels of the corporate organisation and of other types of organisation such as public, not-for-profit and cooperative. Specialist options will equip you with theories, principles and tools for analysing and coping with the new economic and managerial challenges raised by technological change and the digital economy.

You will then use your critical analysis and independent judgement skills to write a dissertation setting out solutions to complex managerial problems in all types of organisation.

This Master's course differs from the typical MBA in that it covers fewer subjects but in more depth. You will learn more than just the current management fashions and buzzwords: you will also learn about the evidence upon which management theories are based.
