Business with Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc
COURSE INFORMATION (2013 ENTRY)
1 year full-time
Business and LawLaw and NBS Building, City Campus East
The programme has been developed for recent graduates in non-business disciplines who wanted to add a business dimension to their undergraduate specialism. This programme has been very popular and has recently been extended by the addition of several pathways.
Students can now choose between a general pathway with a wide variety of optional modules and a specialist pathway in which around half of the programme is concentrated on one functional area. This is very attractive to students who are interested in a particular area of business (e.g. marketing) but still want a more general introduction to business than is available in a specialist Masters programme.
Students choosing one of the pathways have the opportunity to carry out independent research in their preferred specialist area. To be successful on this programme, you will need enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to not only work hard but learn new ways of thinking. We also expect you to show initiative and be able to work independently.
The programme is designed around a set of modules that are common to all pathways. These modules cover general business functions, strategic management and organisational analysis. These modules also guide you towards the achievement of the generic postgraduate goals of strategic awareness, developing leadership potential and understanding the theory and practice of
international business.
In the second semester you will be given the opportunity to specialise in specific areas of business by choosing one of the pathways. These are shown underneath the programme structure below. If you prefer to maintain as wide a choice of subject areas as possible, you can choose the Business with Management pathway.
In the remainder of the programme you will complete your research and writing up of your dissertation. Every student has a personal research supervisor and will be required to submit an assessed research proposal prior to embarking on the dissertation itself.
CAREERS
Graduates on the programme have joined a wide range of businesses, including graduate training schemes. A significant number of graduates have gone back to work for a family business or even started up their own businesses.
