Our newly updated one-year MSc Management course shows the path an ambitious graduate can take to become a successful manager in the world of business.

Inspired by our highly ranked MBA programmes, our MSc Management is an intensive course that brings together the different disciplines within business and management. It will help you accelerate your development to leadership roles in large companies, as an entrepreneur, or in making an impact in mid-size firms and family enterprises.

We immerse you in what it means to lead and manage a business as a whole, helping you to discover how to bring together the teams and skills that are needed to make great decisions and successfully implement them in today’s highly competitive global markets.

Our wide choice of elective modules allows you to develop a focus that accelerates your career. For example, you can choose one of our new elective specialisms in Consulting or Entrepreneurship that offer the chance to delve deeper and leave with an in-depth knowledge of these areas. We also offer the opportunity for a self-organised internship to be recognised as part of the programme, enabling you to immediately put your learning into practice.

Becoming a leader in today’s dynamic world of business needs more than a firm grasp of theories and concepts. We focus on developing you as an individual, enhancing your soft-skills and the impact you can have early in your career. Our emphasis is on how your personal skills are successfully combined with the integrated view of the management concepts that will support you as your career progresses.

Our five-day international elective modules with our partner schools are now an integrated part of your curriculum, offering you the opportunity to include a first-hand international experience to enrich your MSc Management learning.

Our unique online learning platform my.wbs will act as the hub for your learning experience, hosting all of your teaching materials, key information from your CareersPlus and Programme Teams, and our online classroom: wbsLive.

Teaching and assessment will vary to fit the subject being studied. Our faculty have designed your learning experience to fit the subject being studied, with a variety of teaching and assessment styles.

Your teaching will take the form of lectures and webinars, supported, where relevant, by guest speakers from industry to balance theory and practice.

The typical class size for this course is around 200 students.

Students on this MSc will typically receive between 27 and 30 contact hours per module.

Your learning will be assessed by a mix of exams, individual assessments, group work, project work, and tests. Group and project work will enable you to collaborate and gain new perspectives from your international cohort, preparing you for working in teams within a global work environment.

You can also apply to join one of the international study weeks to gain an awareness of international business culture through first-hand experience. In recent years, we have offered study weeks at Solvay Brussels School of Economics and ManagementLink opens in a new window, Madrid, Rome, and the University of Cape Town Graduate School of BusinessLink opens in a new window. Places on these study weeks are optional and limited, and students will be able to partake in an application and selection process to take part once they have begun on the course.
