Students choose one option out of the two subjects below (subject to minimum group numbers):

In addition to taught modules students need to submit a research project (15,000-18,000 words). The dissertation gives students the opportunity of undertaking a significant piece of independent research which applies appropriate business management and academic research concepts to investigate a significant organisational issue or problem.

Programme Delivery

Students are expected to actively participate in the seminars and therefore must complete the directed reading instruction from tutors, given in the preparation phase, to engage with the module content before coming to a session.

As a student on the programme you will have access to our student platform at any place and time. Even when you are away you can access the teaching material, get in touch with tutors as well as your fellow students regarding group work and study questions. In addition to the teaching material, supplied via our student platform prior to any teaching session, every participant receives access to the university’s online resources and various electronic journal services with a broad range of relevant literature.

Entry Requirements

The programme is suitable for applicants with a Bachelor degree or Bachelor Professional (CCI), which may be in a business subject but degrees in other disciplines can also be considered.

Applicants need a minimum score of 6.0 (overall) in the IELTS test to prove their English skills. You do not need to take the IELTS test if you have already achieved a Bachelor from a UK university.
