The MSc in Business Strategy, Leadership, and Change has been designed to build student knowledge and understanding of formulating and monitoring business strategies, how to develop change programs, and understand the impact of different leadership styles in particular contexts. This knowledge and these skills will enhance students’ personal development, so they become more effective if or when they undertake a managerial role.

The program has five core courses; one a research methods course, and four strategy-orientated courses which are designed to be of relevance to senior and middle managers, high-potential junior managers, management consultants, entrepreneurs, and directors of small and medium-sized enterprises.

In addition, the program caters to non-specialists who wish to pursue a more general business/managerial career, but with a business strategy emphasis. There are also opportunities to study three optional strategy-oriented courses (from a choice of four), which allow participants to customize the program according to their needs and interests. The program will be completed by a dissertation that will take a strategy-oriented perspective. This perspective should emphasize one or a combination of the program’s key subject themes of business strategy, leadership, and change.

The MSc in Business Strategy, Leadership, and Change has been designed to equip the next generation of organizational managers with skills that include business strategy, strategic change, leadership, systems thinking and analysis, project management, business economics, demand, and inventory planning, and quality management and engineering.

The program’s multidisciplinary approach to managing an organization will provide participants with rich managerial and organizational insights. Furthermore, the program aims to develop a critical understanding of the disciplines involved by exploring the nature of thinking strategically, and the role and function of leadership in strategy formulation, implementation, and change.
