Business Analysis and Management (for non-business graduates)
MSc (for non-business graduates) 1 year full-time
This programme is designed to directly improve the employment prospects of non-business graduates and to develop basic functional business knowledge and skills, enabling our graduates to contribute quickly and purposefully to the running of a business. The programme is especially suitable for students seeking careers as business analysts or management consultants. We train our students in the broad, core aspects of business management with particular emphasis on the development of a range of modelling, analysis and consultancy skills. Knowledge and skills are further developed within the group-based Business Analysis and Planning module and the IT-intensive Operational Research Methods.
