Firms across the public, private, and third sectors are all considering how environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles should inform their business strategies. Employers across all industries are looking for innovative managers to take the lead on driving sustainability, equality and inclusion objectives to ensure their businesses are shaped for ethical growth and success.
MSc Management (Social Economy) will introduce you to the main theories and strategic perspectives associated with the ‘social economy’, those organisations that promote values of sustainability, inclusivity, and equality as part of their core mission.
Most importantly, you will learn the concrete ways you can turn these theories into an empowering reality and you will have the opportunity to connect with real-life social organisations in the public, third, and community sectors.
On this course you will learn not just the theory of what a social economy means, what sustainability and fairness look like, but also how you could make these a reality within organisations you might run or work for.
MSc Management (Social Economy) is perfect if you do not have a first degree in business, or relevant work experience in management. In your first term, you will study a core portfolio of modules that give you a firm basis in management and organisational issues.
You will then move on to study specialist modules on social economy exploring issues such as:
commons ownership
cooperative management
mutual aid
and democratic decision-making
A 2:2 degree, or international equivalent, in any discipline. You may also be considered with a lower class degree, if you have three year’s relevant work experience in a field such as: Management or Project Management (please provide your CV).
