“The University has excellent research standards and is ranked exceptionally. The business school itself has a fantastic reputation with global market leading businesses and employers as a whole. I wanted to study a broad programme to give me an insight into a range of business areas and the MSc Management programme did just that. I really enjoyed the variety of the programme, whilst the dissertation provided some depth to my learning and allowed me to choose a specific area I was interested in, leadership.” Dan Westcott, Management MSc graduate.
