What you'll study

This master's blends core business disciplines with marketing-focused and management subjects to develop analytical, strategic and leadership capabilities. The curriculum typically includes a mix of required core modules and elective options, culminating in a capstone project or practicum that applies learning to a real organisational challenge.

• Core business foundations — topics such as strategic management, managerial finance, organisational behaviour and operations management that build a broad management toolkit.
• Marketing and market insight — modules covering marketing management, consumer behaviour, brand strategy, digital marketing and marketing communications.
• Analytics and decision-making — quantitative methods, marketing analytics, data-driven decision-making and tools for interpreting commercial data.
• Leadership and people management — leadership theory, team dynamics, negotiation and change management to prepare you for supervisory and managerial roles.
• Electives and specialisms — depending on intake, options may include product management, international business, sales strategy, service marketing or entrepreneurship.
• Capstone or practicum — a major applied project, consultancy assignment or internship that integrates learning and demonstrates professional readiness.

Entry requirements

Applicants are usually expected to hold a recognised undergraduate degree in business or a related subject, or to demonstrate equivalent professional experience. The admissions process typically requests:

• Official academic transcripts demonstrating completion of a bachelor's degree or equivalent;

• A personal statement or statement of purpose describing career goals and reasons for choosing the programme;
• References from academic or professional referees;
• For applicants whose first language is not English, evidence of English proficiency through recognised tests (for example IELTS or TOEFL) or approved institutional alternatives.

Some applicants may be invited to an interview. Standardised test scores (such as GMAT or GRE) are not always required but can be submitted if available; the programme may consider substantial professional experience in lieu of test scores.
