Master of Science (MSc)

The Master of Science degree at Greenwich School of Management provides programme members who have a good first degree (not necessarily in management), and who have little or no experience of management with a rigorous academic programme that will prepare them for management and leadership roles in organisations and grounding in one of the following specialist areas

MSc Business Management
MSc Marketing Management
MSc Accounting and Finance
MSc Human Resource Management

Aims and Objectives of the Master of Science programmes
The MSc programmes aim to equip students with relevant skills, understanding and competencies in either Business Management, Finance and Accounting, Marketing or Human Resource Management by increasing programme members’ knowledge of the organisation and structure of business and its interaction with the environment.

The programme encourages programme members to apply a range of business perspectives to the identification and solution of business problems and to explore the interdisciplinary nature of business. Programme members develop a range of intellectual and personal skills relevant to careers in business management and are, thus, able to adapt to, understand and cope with the pace of change in the increasingly challenging world of business management.

The MSc programmes provide a broad advanced study of organisations, their management, and their operating environment. They are designed for graduates in business or non-business oriented subjects without previous managerial experience.

The programme introduces the principal theories of organisations and their management and gives programme members a critical awareness of management practices used in dealing with complexity in business environments. Through the MSc programme students will develop practical skills and a capacity to apply the acquired management knowledge to the real experience of business. In addition, programme members develop analytical skills so that they will be able to make informed choices and decisions when dealing with management problems. The programme will instil a critical awareness of the social impact of management choices and decisions, and enable programme members to develop as reflective management practitioners.
