If you are interested in a business career, but did not take an undergraduate degree in business then this is the programme for you. This MSc introduces students to a range of business management topics, including organisational behaviour, global operations, finance, strategy, marketing, international business, career planning and development, sustainability in business and research techniques. We start at a foundational level and rapidly escalate to develop student knowledge to the level of postgraduate expertise. A variety of teaching approaches are applied across the programme to help participants to develop a clear career strategy that will increase their employability in the short-term, and sustainable success in the long term.
This MSc provides key business learning to non-business graduates (and experienced professionals who do not have an undergraduate degree). Through its course content and programme delivery, our students access leading business thinking, apply contemporary management theory and practices, and research business solutions through team and individual assignments and a Business Consultancy Project/Dissertation or Placement.

I would recommend this course to anyone interested in furthering their studies. Paddy Pender
