Core courses

All students will undertake a series of core courses covering the essential pillars of management and leadership in the global business environment. Students will complete the programme with a dissertation or capstone project, bringing together learning from all courses and providing an opportunity to specialise in your area of interest, solve a real challenge you are facing in the workplace, or create a business plan to launch your own venture.

Year 1

Foundations of Management, Strategy and Financial Control

A uniquely integrated course which provides an overview of the development of key management disciplines and their relationship to questions of financial control. The course sets out a framework for understanding the development of modern business that is rooted in the disciplines of economics, psychology and sociology, to place management issues and practices in their historical and organisational context. Sessions will combine lectures and case studies to provide students the opportunity to apply concepts relating to these topics, whilst also considering themes such as sustainability and social impact.

Managerial Economics

This course aims to equip you with a range of tools to analyse the behaviour of firms and consumers in markets. It'll introduce you to basic microeconomic concepts and show how a deeper understanding of how markets work can lead to making better business decisions. You'll also learn how to use these tools in practice, through case-based class discussion and assessed work, enabling you to instantly apply your learning back in the workplace.

Organisational Behaviour and Leadership

Understanding individuals, teams and organisation is fundamental in any management role. This course discusses psychological theories and considers there meaning for managers. It brings together theory and practice by using conversations, group exercises, presentations, and course work to apply the course material to business problems and embed learning. By the end of the course, you should be able to critically evaluate some of the main theories of organisational behaviour and apply those theories to issues in your organisation. In addition, we reflect upon leadership style and skills. Drawing on relevant theories, we examine your personal leadership style and its implications for working with others. Discuss the leadership skills that are critical to effectiveness, how themes such as Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and sustainability can be incorporated into this and consider how to apply these skills to build positive organisational environments. You will be asked to complete two in-depth evaluations to prepare for these sessions. Profiles will be used to guide your leadership development. An optional one-to-one meeting to discuss your leadership is included in the schedule.

Financial Management

The aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive overview of firms' financial decision making. The course is designed to provide an applied and practical approach to finance, enabling the students to address topical issues that modern corporations face. In particular, the course builds on concepts in business strategy, valuation techniques, and capital structure theories, and applies those tools in a systematic and rigorous way to real-life financial management problems. Topics such as mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings will also be covered.

Marketing Strategy

Marketing is ultimately about understanding and shaping behaviour and this course aims to provide a rigorous examination of the key analytical frameworks, technical tools, and concepts that are essential to building an effective marketing strategy. We will cover the main theories and concepts in marketing management and how to apply these in a practical setting, including looking at how machine learning techniques are changing how information on consumer preferences, their decision-making journeys, and their purchase behaviours is gathered and analysed. A key aim of the course is to develop an analytical toolkit that is applicable to a wide range of industries and functions.
