Corporate Governance

On this MSc Corporate Governance, you will study the complex and changing relationships between business corporations, their stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers) and the societies in which they operate.

The economic and financial aspects of corporate governance relationships have long been of concern to those in the business and investment communities, and in recent years the social, political and moral aspects of these relationships have also become a major public concern.

This Master's degree in corporate governance is ideal if you are interested in the policy aspects of corporate governance, or you wish to be involved professionally in the direction and regulation of companies and the management or trusteeship of pension funds and other investments.

The programme combines coursework and independent research leading to a dissertation.

• The programme is international in scope, recognising both the wide variety of cultures and corporate governance systems within which businesses operate worldwide and the increasing globalisation of business and finance.
• The programme builds on the Department of Management's research strength in Corporate Governance and Business Ethics. This is supported by the London Centre for Corporate Governance and Ethics Research Centre.
• The programme combines an interdisciplinary approach with an in-depth research training in Management. It provides a strong foundation for PhD research in the area and has achieved ESRC Research Training recognition.
• The programme benefits from the involvement of a number of leading figures in the field including members of national and international committees on corporate governance, shareholder activists and NGO representatives.​
