Course content

The accredited Business Master's in Strategic Business Management is aimed at graduates who have an interest in developing an in-depth specialist knowledge and critical understanding of the key aspects of corporate financial management, and in particular, who are looking to pursue a career in corporate or business finance.

This master's programme will help you develop a broad comprehension of the most important concepts in finance, with a strategic perspective. It is ideal for those interested in a future career in banking, personal finance, corporate finance or as an accountant, offering an excellent foundation for your career or for further study. As well as gaining a formal qualification, you will build a skills portfolio that you can show to future employers.

You will develop in-depth knowledge of corporate financial management by covering a range of modules in governance, social responsibility, risk management, banking regulation, corporate reporting, finance and performance management.

This course is offered as a 2-year full-time business master’s programme. Sharing the first year of study with the 1-year Corporate Financial Management, the 2-year programme benefits from a second year of Professional Practice that is specifically aimed at fostering the employment opportunities of students. Offering greater flexibility than a traditional Placement year, our Professional Practice Year allows you to decide how to put your skills into practice. Choose between an academic dissertation, business plan, business or consultancy project, or a paid placement in industry, depending on the option that is best suited to your future career path.
