Why study this course?
This Integrated Master's course combines theory and practice to prepare you to be one of the
business leaders of tomorrow. There are opportunities during each of the four years to work
on live projects with real clients. You can also engage in work placements, entrepreneurship
activity and/or study at one of our partner universities across the world.
You will benefit from exposure to world-leading thinkers, disruptive
entrepreneurial firms, and major trends that will define future human
challenges like sustainable, digital, social inclusion and wellbeing, whilst
providing a broad understanding of business practice and the role of
management in the diverse and contemporary business world. The four year
programme provides flexibility to tailor your degree to your interests with a
range of options and choices. One of the distinctive features of our courses is
the ability to choose from one of our innovative pathways: 
Students who have not achieved 60% or above by the end of the 2nd year
will revert to a three year BA Management. Similarly, you could also choose
to revert to the BA Management before the commencement of the 3rd year.
What will this mean for my future?
Given the broad and dynamic range of opportunities offered within this
programme, graduates can progress to many different roles in business,
with the hope that they will have an accelerated career. It is envisioned
