The MSc Management is a one-year master’s degree for graduates who want to lead people, projects and organisations. You can use it to step up to management in your field or take your first degree in a new direction. It builds on what you already know from your first degree and any work experience.

You study leading organisations, strategic management and financial decision-making, then put what you learn into practice in a management project. The course is taught online and on campus on set days, in London and Birmingham, so you know in advance which days you study. You need a bachelor’s degree to apply, and your adviser will check your eligibility with you.

Management graduates work in roles such as operations manager, project manager, business analyst, HR manager and consultant. If you’re eligible, a Postgraduate Master’s Loan can help pay for your course. Your adviser can tell you how the online and campus days are arranged in each city.
