Entry requirements
For entry to the programme you should normally hold a UK honours degree, or equivalent. If you do not hold an honours degree but have demonstrated the ability to study at postgraduate level, you may also be accepted into the programme. You need to complete the Postgraduate Diploma in Systems Thinking in Practice (E28) in order to be able to study for the MSc in Systems Thinking in Practice. There is no time limit for completing the MSc but we cannot guarantee that the same selection of courses will continue to be available.
Course description
This MSc course builds on your diploma studies and provides you with the opportunity to carry out an investigation into an aspect of systems thinking that is of personal or professional interest to you or conduct a more academic in-depth research project. Both routes will enable you to extend your knowledge of recent research in your chosen area and become competent in relevant research methods. It will also develop your capability to plan, organise and carry out an extended independent study at masters level. This MSc course looks at the way you think and naturally approach a task or situation. Every person brings with them their own perspective, which means that we all see things in different ways. The discipline of systems thinking in practice will provide you with the tools to challenge your approach to complex situations; to consider the roles other people play; to assess how all the different components within that situation are related; and to provide you with the skills to think more holistically and to work more collaboratively to avoid systemic failures.
