    Career

    This broad MSc will equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to succeed as a manager in any setting. It will open doors to management roles in all sectors:

    • private
    • public
    • not-for-profit

    After graduating, you could apply for a management training programme for a major company or look for management roles in various sectors.

    Although this is a new programme for 2022, students from our other business and management postgraduate courses have gone on to secure management roles and advanced graduate training positions in high-profile organisations, including:

    • HSBC Canada
    • Ernst & Young
    • Price Waterhouse Cooper

    Some have become consultants with specialist companies while others have taken on general management roles or have even set up their own international businesses.

    The course also gives you a platform to gain further professional qualifications as you take your career forward. Inspired by the intellectual challenge of the MSc, a growing number of graduates also choose to develop academic careers, moving on to PhD research or teacher training.

    Ongoing careers support

    Throughout your studies, you will benefit from our personal tutor scheme, which enables you to reflect on your learning and refine your career ambitions. Our support continues once you've completed your course too: you are entitled to further help and guidance from the Careers and Employment Service for up to three years after leaving the University.
