This degree is designed for professionals who are seeking to improve their management and leadership skills and broaden their theoretical knowledge of business and management. Over 12 or 24 months, students will acquire a deep knowledge of all the key business functions. Participants will gain a greater appreciation of the significance of the interrelationship of functional areas to the overall success of a business, in international, national and local markets.

This degree offers students the opportunity to study at a postgraduate level, while maintaining and enhancing their contribution to their employer. We recognise that today business is conducted across international boundaries and that globalisation is a phenomenon that impacts all organisations. Therefore, the focus of the degree is on the specific challenges facing organisations that have global operations, or that transact business internationally. The degree will also support the development of a range of transferable executive skills including leadership; strategic decision making; problem-solving; change management, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship; finance; operations management; marketing and human resource management.
