The course
includes modules that are focused on developing global management competencies,
leadership and management and leadership for responsible change. Topics during
these modules include emotional intelligence, cultural awareness and the
ability to work in diverse groups and teams, as well as project management and
decision making.
In the second
year of this course you’ll undertake study in another country. Employers often
prefer applicants who have a strong international awareness. Our exchange
option will increase your experience and it’ll help you stand out from others.
To further enhance your employability, we offer the opportunity to
undertake a master’s consultancy project, or management enquiry project as an
alternative to the traditional dissertation. You’ll work in a small group,
typically no more than five people, or on your own in the case of the
management enquiry and tackle a live project from a host organisation under the
mentoring of a member of our academic team. The project can be an excellent
vehicle for you to relate theory to practice while developing key employability
skills.
Our graduates typically go into professional and graduate management
positions and, by the end of the course, you’ll be well-equipped to follow
them. You may choose to start a career within an industry that’s related to the
subject that you studied during your first degree or you may prefer to take on
a completely new challenge.
This course is also perfect if you're looking to further your education from one of our undergraduate Business Management Degrees.
If you decide to start up your own business, it’s good to know that the
combined turnover of our graduates’ start-up companies is higher than that of
any other UK university.
The Business with Management Masters course could also lead you to a postgraduate research degree such as
an MPhil, PhD and Professional Doctorate.
Whatever you decide to do, you will have the transferable skills that
employers expect from a master’s graduate from Northumbria University. These
include the ability to tackle complex issues through conceptualisation and
undertaking research, the ability to contribute to new processes and knowledge,
and the ability to formulate balanced judgements when considering incomplete or
ambiguous data.
Please note, we also offer a distance learning Business and Management MSc.
