About

Do you want to boost your career prospects by studying for a business management Master's degree alongside your current job?

On this MA Business Management Learning at Work Master's course, you can specialise and enhance your current management or leadership capabilities and develop a more strategic view of organisational management and behaviour.

Because the course is work-based, you need to already be in a full-time, part-time or voluntary role. If you don't have an undergraduate degree, you could still do this postgraduate course if you have several years experience in a responsible position (such as a military role) or you have high-level skills through experience that isn't reflected in your qualifications.
