Curriculum Structure

Year 1 (Foundation & Core Business Knowledge)
You begin the programme by developing a solid understanding of how businesses operate and how decisions are made at managerial level.

As you progress through the year, your studies become more focused on leadership and applying management tools in real organisational contexts. In modules like Strategic Leadership and Organisational Change and Research Methods for Business, you look deeply at how leaders guide teams through transformation and how to explore complex business problems through structured research. You’ll then tailor your learning through a range of electives such as Consulting Project, Global Strategy, or Entrepreneurship, before completing either a Business Research Project or a General Research Project that allows you to put your skills into practice.
