Through a combination of online pre-study modules and induction week you will be ready to hit the ground running and maximise your learning on the programme.
July-August
Before the programme begins you will complete online pre-study modules to prepare for the year ahead. These will be delivered via Canvas, our virtual learning environment (VLE). They are designed to give you a basic understanding of areas that will be covered in the programme, to get you off to the best possible start.
September
Your MSc in Management (MiM) induction will be spent in London. Your induction week will be full of activities to help you effectively navigate your programme and get to know your cohort. You will also be invited to a welcome event where you can meet and network with your fellow students, distinguished faculty and dedicated programme staff, building new connections and getting a taste of life at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
You will complete eight core modules covering fundamental business concepts across the Autumn term and first half of the Spring term.
This module will cover the application of financial decision-making at a corporate level. You will gain an overview of corporate investment policy and company valuation, financing decisions and capital structure, external financing at different stages of a firm’s life cycle and recent innovations in corporate finance.
This module is split into two parts: first you will focus on managerial accounting and financial analysis used for internal decision-making. You will learn to select and apply models and techniques using accounting data to support management decisions.
In the second part of the module, you will cover financial accounting and reporting, focusing on the annual report used for external audiences. You will learn the language of accounting, read as well as analyse the major financial statements in the annual reports, and develop an opinion about an organisation’s financial performance, position and potential.
In this module you will explore fundamental topics in contemporary marketing. You will learn how a company can identify, target, connect with and serve its customers better than its competitors over time.
You will gain an understanding of the role marketing plays in the value creation process. Topics will include organisational decisions such as marketing strategy, segmentation and marketing mix allocations. The module will explore the critically important topic of human elements in the marketplace, including consumer behaviour. You will engage in managerial decision-making situations and explore topics of central interest to successful enterprises today. These include ethical marketing (relating to the "E" and the "S" in ESG) and the adoption of innovations and digital tools and techniques in the field of marketing.
Organisations and Leadership is a learning journey designed to support your development as a leader. The focus is to develop your understanding of modern organisations and the tools you will need to contribute effectively in them. Much of your success as leaders, managers and professionals will depend on how well you work with and get things done through others. The organisations best prepared to succeed in the competitive global marketplace are those that engender full participation and promote teamwork through enabling leadership. This module applies both theoretical and applied approaches to understanding effective leadership within a team and features a substantial amount of class discussion and experiential exercises, including an off-site team community build.
Strategic Decisions and Analysis will teach you analytical, statistical and strategic decision-making skills, blending behavioural science with practical applications in daily life, business and organisations. You will learn to navigate decision biases, harness diversity, manage uncertainty through decision-tree analysis, seize contrarian opportunities, discern skill from luck using big data analysis, design better organisations using machine learning and predictive analytics and implement nudges through field experiments. The curriculum merges theoretical principles with case studies, cutting-edge research, data analysis and an individual capstone project, ensuring a thorough understanding and practical application.
Strategic Management is concerned with enhancing the performance of a firm to create value for shareholders. This module will explore the core elements of corporate, competitive and global strategy. Successful strategies today need to embrace stakeholder concerns, including those related to ESG and digital innovation. You will engage with cases that require you to make strategic choices and explore the consequences, for example the allocation of resources and opportunity cost trade-offs. You will learn how companies frame strategic choices, how they seek to assess first-mover vs. follower pathways, assess market potential, pursue mergers and acquisitions and embrace disruptive economic models in the pursuit of competitive advantage.
The performance of any business is heavily influenced by the market environment in which it operates. Through this module, you will develop the framework and tools needed to explain how market conditions are determined and why the business environment changes over time. You will develop an understanding of economic principles and the ability to apply economic analysis to problems related to business strategy and managerial decision-making. The module focuses mainly on microeconomic behaviour. Topics include demand and supply, the behaviour of firms and consumers, strategic pricing issues, sources and consequences of market failure and government policy initiatives.
Innovation is the fundamental driver of competitiveness and plays a large part in improving quality of life. This module equips you with an understanding of the main issues in the management of innovation and an appreciation of the relevant skills needed to manage innovation at both strategic and operational levels.
Electives are organised into five concentrations: finance, strategy, innovation, management and operations, and marketing. You can choose to focus your learning on one concentration, or choose to have no concentration at all and broaden your learning.
Global modules are electives that aim to deepen your understanding of key themes within a global context. These modules have an application process and require you to pay additional costs. Module themes and destinations may change on an annual basis, and are subject to availability.
This learning experience is designed for you to work as consultants on a business challenge in an emerging market context. You will apply innovative thinking and problem solving techniques to achieve real commercial, social or economic impact. You will travel to the country where your client is based and deliver the project over an intensive one-week period.
The module will allow you to deploy your interdisciplinary expertise in business strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, marketing, finance and other areas, as well as your consulting skills to analyse the issue at hand, collect evidence and generate recommendations. You will also learn about working in an economic and cultural context that may be unfamiliar to you.

You will learn first-hand about the social and cultural dynamics of business in another country and travel with students from other programmes across the Business School, offering excellent networking opportunities.
The optional Global Exchange programme allows you to increase your international exposure and build your network by taking advantage of specialised electives at one of our partner schools.
You can choose to extend your Master's programme to 16 months and take the opportunity to study abroad for a term with the Extended Global Exchange option.

Please check the specific entry requirements of the programme you are interested in studying. Please also check our international entry requirements. If you feel you meet our entry requirements you can apply online.
In addition to the guidance on our website, we hold regular information sessions online and on campus throughout the year. Here, we would be happy to discuss your suitability in more detail.
We accept a wide range of international qualifications for postgraduate study at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
We've provided general guidance in the country and region index so you can understand how qualifications awarded by public institutions overseas may satisfy our minimum academic admission requirements.
We review our requirements annually. Updates usually happen in September each year before the next academic year of entry.
If your country or region is not listed, please contact the relevant Admissions team for further information.

The Business School does not offer pre-sessional English courses. We do not accept attendance of a pre-sessional English course as a means of meeting the English language requirement.
We will start to issue CAS numbers from April. The details of your CAS will appear on your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ record after you have met all the conditions of your offer. Please note that you will need to upload a scanned copy of the photo page of your passport and current visa (if you have recently completed a degree in the UK), before your CAS can be issued. Please upload these documents to the ‘Passport/visa’ section of your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ account.
Once your CAS is ready, you will receive an email confirming that it has been uploaded onto your My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ account. If you log into My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ you will be able to find your CAS number and the details that have been included in your CAS.
Please note that we cannot provide you with a CAS if you have outstanding conditions on your offer. Please ensure that you allow enough time to meet your conditions and apply for a visa before the start date of your programme of study.
Your CAS number holds information about the programme you will study and if you have paid any fees. You will not need a formal letter from ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ confirming your offer status for your visa appointment.
For more information about what you will need, see the .
If you need any advice about your visa please contact the International Student Support team. Most information can be found on the International Student Support website.
If you require a visa to study on the programme, you will be initially granted a 12 month student visa upon entry (with an additional four months post study). If you decided to extend the programme to 16 months, you will be eligible to apply for a student visa extension (please note additional costs apply). This would enable you to apply for the Graduate Worker Visa once your degree is confirmed.

Receiving your invoice

³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School is pleased to offer significant scholarship funding to our most talented applicants. A range of scholarships are available, including several dedicated schemes for specific programmes, and it is recommended that you apply early to give yourself the best chance of receiving an award.
Please be aware that scholarships may not be awarded following every round (e.g. if scholarships in a particular category have all been awarded or there is an insufficient number of eligible candidates in a given round).
If you are offered an ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School scholarship and are subsequently offered a larger award by us, the larger one would supersede the first award and would not be in addition to it. Scholarships awarded by ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School are in the form of a reduction of the tuition fee. Therefore, if you receive another scholarship that pays the full tuition fee directly to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, you cannot also receive a scholarship from the Business School.
