workload with opportunities to
return home for holidays, in
contrast to the constraints of

The Masters in Management is aimed
at the large number of graduates with a
non-business degree background who
wish to take up a career in business.
Arts, humanities and science graduates
who wish to take up a career in the
business world find themselves
competing against well-qualified
business graduates who are of
immediate value to their employers.
Furthermore, many business graduates
have a second qualification, whether
that is from an appropriate professional
body or a Masters.
The MSc in Management offers you the
opportunity to remedy the situation in
both these areas, providing a high level
business qualification with the added
advantage that you do not have to have
work experience to enter and successfully
complete the programme.
COURSE CONTENT
This course introduces the fundamental
elements of economics and the business
environment. You will also study key
business functions such as finance,
marketing and human resources
management.
• Managing Financial Resources
• Marketing
• Understanding the Economy

Applicants need to show evidence of their
command of English with an IELTS 6.0,
TOEFL (Paper-based:565, Computer-based:

equivalent. If English was the medium of
tuition on a previous degree then this may be
considered. Applicants are normally expected
to have a UK first degree or equivalent,
however a Higher Education Diploma and
work experience may in some cases be
sufficient.
If the degree or diploma is not UK equivalent,
we may take work experience into account in
considering eligibility for the course.
“I chose this course because I
do not have any background in
business, and I appreciate the
broadness of the course. It has
the scope to give me a wide
understanding and knowledge
of the business world. The
course takes a lot of time and
commitment but it is very
interesting and rewarding. The
classes are small, so it is easy
to participate in discussions.
The teachers encourage
involvement from the students,
rather than passive learning
which I am used to. This has
without a doubt made me push
myself more to raise ideas and
take part in the classes.”
