What you study

The programme has nine taught modules and a final dissertation. The modules are:

• Principles of Marketing
• Strategic Analysis
• Human Resource Management
• Economic Environment of Business
• Financial Statement Analysis and Decision Making
• Innovation Management
• Management Consulting
• Principles of Strategic Leadership
• Dissertation

The focus is on strategic management, combined with a close look at functional areas of an organisation. You work with the external factors that affect a company's success, its ability to compete and its market position. You get tools for strategy at corporate and business level, economics, management, marketing and human resource management.

How the programme is organised

Classes are taught in English. Teaching mixes theory and practice: practical assignments, group work and case studies built on challenges from real businesses. Classroom lectures use blended learning, company visits, business competitions and special events. The more of your own experience you bring, the more varied the discussions.

Who it suits

You should normally hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a relevant subject area. You also need at least two years of relevant management experience, including managing staff. The programme suits managers who want to strengthen their strategic skills and prepare for senior roles or consulting.

Admission, language and next steps

You must meet the English language requirement, equivalent to IELTS 6.5. Check the IBA website for full English requirements and possible exemptions.
