Management MSc

University of Derby

Our MSc Management is a management and leadership masters for graduates from both business and non-business backgrounds. You will gain a broad range of management skills, in areas such as strategic thinking, HR, finance, risk management and supply chains. You will follow a new curriculum that's been developed post-Brexit and post-Covid and addresses the challenges of managing in the 2020s and beyond. We'll push you out of your comfort zone, expecting you to come up with solutions to challenging problems. Through this, you will build resilience and confidence. Towards the end of the programme, you will put into practice everything you've learnt, by undertaking in-depth research for a business and recommending improvements. If your sights are set on managerial roles this is the Masters for you. It will give you a good, high-level grounding in all areas of management and improve your employability and confidence. We focus on equipping you with the skills to deal with the business environment of the 2020s: a decade which has so far been characterised by uncertainty, turbulence and change. This MSc Management assumes you have no prior knowledge of business or management, so we'll begin with some foundational modules that will bring you up to speed. These will develop your knowledge of key management theories and give you the skills to think and act more strategically. We will then look more specifically at the management of people, supply chains, finance, and risk, in subsequent modules. Towards the end of the programme, you will bring all your newly-acquired knowledge and skills together to conduct an in-depth research project for a business. This will give you valuable experience and also the confidence to know that you can apply your learning to real situations.
