Course description

Our Management MSc is ideal if you have never studied business before and want to gain a solid knowledge base. Covering all aspects of general management, from managing people and finances to strategic planning, operations and marketing, this course produces work-ready graduates with the skills to succeed.

In an age where there are so many specialists of different kinds, there is a need for graduates who see the whole picture, not just from one functional perspective.
