Overview

Unique Features of the Programme
- Stackable credentials
Our management programmes are designed to be stackable, in line with the national emphasis on lifelong learning. You may choose to graduate with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Management or progress to the Master of Management, according to your needs and ambitions. - Thematic courses
Courses offered within our management programmes are organised into four management themes, culminating in applied learning. Please see diagram presented below. This structure helps you plan and organise your studies and develop focused skills and deeper expertise.
You may read courses from any of the four management themes, and you are not required to read courses from all themes or complete all courses within any one theme. For the avoidance of doubt, the theme(s) you choose will not be reflected on your degree certificate or academic transcript.
Each management theme is anchored by a foundation course that is worth 5CU. Please see courses highlighted in yellow. These foundation courses ensure that all learners, regardless of their academic or professional background, begin with a strong and common grounding in core management areas.
Applied learning courses are worth either 5CU or 10CU. These courses turn theory into practice through real-world projects and industry engagement, giving you the opportunity to work on authentic business challenges, collaborate with practitioners, and apply your learning in meaningful contexts. Flexible bite-sized courses
Courses offered, apart from the foundation and applied learning courses, are typically worth 2.5CU. This means that you are only required to attend three three-hour seminars, conducted either face-to-face or online. This flexible format allows you to embark on a learning journey that fits your lifestyle.- Extensive specialisations
Our management programmes offer opportunities for specialisation in a wide array of disciplines listed below. These specialisations allow you to deepen your expertise in areas that complement your professional goals, while developing the versatility needed to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
