    Is this Programme for Me?
    This new Masters programme is aimed at business graduates who want to specialise in Management. The programme focus is on developing graduates into professional management practitioners; bridging the gap between management theory and professional practice.  Placements and hands-on projects form an integral part of the programme, providing an opportunity for a deeper understanding of contemporary management practices.  The MSc in Management Practice provides a real opportunity for business graduates to grow their employment and career prospects.
    The duration of the programme is one-year full-time (12 months commencing in September) or two-years part-time.  It involves learners undertaking taught modules, a work placement and a research dissertation.
