商业管理硕士

工商管理理学硕士课程由六个模块组成，外加一个咨询挑战。第一个和最后一个模块单独安排，作为入门和顶点学习体验。其他四个模块成对安排。

We recognise that you will be making a transition from one area of study to another, to a more advanced level of learning, and possibly to a different learning culture. Consequently, the block structure provides an enriched opportunity for extended learning activities, class interaction and review of learning to enhance understanding. It also enables us to offer extra support for individual students to build their confidence.

The introductory module sets the scene for the rest of the programme by considering the key features of the business environment and how this shapes organisations and their decisions. You will then examine core management concepts and practices associated with a range of functional areas.

The modules that follow will help you consider the latest research and practice in business management, including core areas such as marketing, strategy, finance, logistics, economics and human resources.

Your enhanced knowledge and skills will be integrated and applied in a capstone ‘Business in Action’ module. Here you will explore a series of large-scale and complex global issues that present significant dilemmas for the effective management of business.

Choice and specialisation are embedded within modules. For example, the ‘Business in Action’ module will provide you with the opportunity to focus on a contemporary debate or issue that has particular relevance for your future career.

The programme concludes with a Consultancy Project. Reflecting the team-based structure of contemporary organisations, you will work in a group to analyse, diagnose and recommend practical solutions for a business problem in a realistic and relevant business context that may include charities and not-for-profit enterprises.

You will develop and apply the key technical and soft skills required for effective business management in every module. You will see your confidence as a future manager build cumulatively across the programme as you are given multiple opportunities to respond to practical business management challenges.

All modules are underpinned by a concern to examine the contrasting political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal and environmental factors that inform management decision-making in different international business contexts. Understanding these dynamics will help you to reflect on the multiple factors that offer opportunities and constraints on management decision-making.

Core Modules for Year One

• Consultancy Challenge
• Understanding Organisations and the Business Environment
• Global Marketing
• Managing People
• Analysing Financial Performance
• Strategic and Operational Decision Making
• Business in Action

How Will I Be Assessed?

The block programme structure provides plenty of opportunities for you to reflect on your learning and development informally. Short knowledge/skill review activities are built into each module to help you check your progress and improve your approach to learning. This will build your confidence and enhance your approach to formal assessment tasks.

A variety of formal assessment tasks provide the opportunity to explore concepts and models in creative and practical ways. These include poster presentations, case studies, group presentations, reports and videos. You will work individually and as part of a team, just as you would in the workplace.

All formal assessments are completed within each module. This enables more in-depth consolidation and application required for successful performance in assessment tasks based on the complex functional level work undertaken by professional managers. It also reflects realistic workplace timescales for the completion of tasks. The capstone module focuses explicitly on the challenge of multi-functional working and multi-faceted problems.

How Will I Be Taught?

An active learning approach is embedded in the MSc Business Management. We believe that effective learning is founded on your involvement in diverse experiences, and the way you make sense of those experiences, both individually and with others. A team that includes academics from multiple disciplines, and practitioners representing a range of functions and sectors will facilitate the modules. This will reflect workplace practice and encourage the cross-fertilisation of different perspectives.

每个学习部分都包括各种活动，如案例研究、视频、小团队挑战、角色扮演、公司参观和行业演讲，所有这些活动旨在介绍新想法并加深您的理解。

We will help you to enhance the reflective skills you were introduced to during your first degree, including observation, analysis, and synthesis to ensure that you are able to develop comprehensive insight and clear conclusions about these experiences.

与他人分享您的理解对于在各种情况下对商业管理的本质形成新的见解也很重要。我们鼓励您在不同的团队中合作，以考虑一系列不同的理解和做法。

尝试新知识也很重要。您将在每个学习模块中嵌入的实际任务以及正式的课程活动中整合和应用新的理解以及新的业务管理技能。
