How you'll learn
This course is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, case studies, tutorials, and project work.
Lectures serve as the primary method of imparting core subject knowledge, complemented by substantial case study and practical work to demonstrate real-world application of theoretical principles. The programme’s practical aspects include both team-based and individual exercises.
Designed to accommodate students with diverse industrial and business experiences, and to accommodate prior learning backgrounds from any subject, this interdisciplinary programme is built around six 20-credit modules, and one final 60-credit module.
Three modules are taught in each of the first two semesters, punctuated by four, week-long enhancement weeks delivered.
At the end of semester two, students can select from three 60-credit modules and undertake an applied project or research dissertation.
Teaching time will account for an average of 10 hours per week, and you should anticipate an additional 20 hours of self-directed study and group work.
How you're assessed
Students are required to complete 180 credits to achieve a full MSc.
Subject to meeting specific criteria outlined by the University, students will graduate with a Pass, Merit or Distinction.
Assessment tasks are varied, and some may be designed specifically to meet the learning outcomes of a particular programme of study, including through presentations, digital business analyses and traditional timed exams. The weighting of individual components will vary from one module to another.
