This course is for new graduates or experienced professionals who wish to have a career in business. You may be from a non-relevant (ie. non business) academic or professional background. It is also for those already working in business, at a junior or middle manager level, and seeking to progress their career with reinforced skills in financial management. If you are looking to enter this field and have no relevant formal qualifications, this course will allow you to gain the necessary expertise.

The Capstone module is designed to provide you with an opportunity to integrate master’s level knowledge and skills by independently working on an applied academic study or business consultancy project from a degree related discipline. This can take the form of a business plan.
