Master in Management MIM

12 Months On Campus Masters Program

University of Liverpool

Program Overview

The Master in Management (MiM) at the University of Liverpool helps you develop the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to step into management roles across a wide range of industries. It’s ideal for graduates from any background who want a strong grounding in core business disciplines—such as strategy, analytics, leadership, and marketing—while gaining the ability to think critically and manage effectively in dynamic, fast-changing environments.

Curriculum Structure

Year of Study (12-Month Programme)

Your year begins with a focus on essential management principles that show you how modern organisations function and how decisions are made. You’ll study Operations Decision Making and Business Analytics, where you learn how managers interpret data and use it to guide organisational choices, along with Marketing Management in the Digital Age, which introduces you to digital consumer behaviour and branding in today’s competitive markets. You also take Strategic Management and Organisational Change, giving you insight into how businesses develop long-term strategies and adapt to new challenges.

As the programme progresses, you deepen your understanding of people, culture, and leadership through the module People, Behaviour and Organisations, which explores motivation, teamwork, and organisational dynamics. You’ll then choose two optional modules that let you customise your path—whether you’re interested in Entrepreneurship in SMEs, Managing in a Global Context, Environmental, Social and Governance Management, Contemporary Project Management, or Finance and Accounting for Non-Specialist Managers. Your degree culminates in a major independent project, either the Dissertation or Advanced Management Research, where you apply the ideas and methods you’ve learned to an issue that matters to you professionally.
