Course content

Our Master's in Science Corporate Governance with Company Law enables professionals to specialise in the legal aspect of business and management, focusing on the ethical and legal dilemmas surrounding business decision making. In this practically-focused Master’s programme, you will gain a broad understanding of the most important concepts in corporate governance and company law frameworks within a strategic and global context.

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 Governance with Company Law, 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.
