Two New Online Programmes

Introducing our two new online courses: MBus Business & Management and MA Design Management

Two new courses have been added to our growing range of distance learning degrees - giving you the chance to return to life as a Northumbria University student, without having to disrupt your life.  

 

MA Design Management:

Our new Design Management course will help you to build a bridge between the logical world of business and the artistic world of design. You’ll develop a thorough understanding of the design process, strategy and thinking to improve the performance of your organisation, as well as your own career. If you studied a design-related degree with us previously, or you’re now working in a role where applying design principles would be of use, this is the course for you.

You’ll be taught by academics from our School of Design, which has an impressive global reputation - its alumni list even includes Sir Jonathan Ive, Chief Design Officer at Apple, and Tim Brown, Chief Executive at IDEO.

MBus Business & Management:

Our Integrated Masters in Business & Management is perfect if you completed a Foundation Degree with us and are now looking to enhance your educational profile further. The unique course will allow you to finish your undergraduate degree and gain a postgraduate qualification in one, whilst helping you to develop key practical business, research and analytical skills that will assist you to progress your career. There’s the opportunity to graduate with a BA after 18 months, part time, or fast track to an Integrated Masters qualification in just three years.

Learning from experienced business practitioners based in Newcastle Business School, you’ll touch on everything from project management to strategy, marketing to entrepreneurial leadership.

 

Your course, your way

Both new courses have been designed in partnership with online learning experts to ensure they’re as flexible and engaging as possible. You’ll have access to online learning materials, communication tools, advice and support services, including a Student Success Advisor who will be on hand to support you throughout. Plus, you’ll be free to start in October, January, April and July, depending on when is best for you.
