Programme overview With the new economy comes new opportunities. We’re faced with new technology, modern laws, world leaders and global conflicts. Business is affected on the worldwide stage and needs modern thinkers to plan and strategise ways to stay ahead of trends and work on solutions. It’s for these reasons we’ve designed the Master of Business programme to teach structure and strategy as well as critical analysis skills.

You’ll explore key aspects of business and management such as marketing, strategic management, human resource management and organisational theory and behaviour. You can specialise using an academic and theoretical framework designed to help you become an expert in the field you choose. This means you’ll be able to apply for more specialised roles once you graduate.
