The Greenwich School of Management Diploma in Management Studies (DMS) programme aims to develop the skills of programme members in taking decisions at a strategic as well as an operational level across the spectrum of management problems. The DMS programme has a dual role. First it is a course of study that will equip you with the management skills and knowledge that you need to further your career development and impress an employer. Second, it can act as a stepping stone for managers and technicians who do not posses the traditional academic qualifications required for direct entry onto the MBA programme.

On successful completion of the Diploma in Management Studies (DMS), you should be capable of assuming a high level of responsibility in the management of private or public sector organisations.
