MBus Strateško poslovno okruženje

NEW! MBus Strategic Business Environment (Masters in Business) Awarded by University of Hull Requirements:

IELTS 5.5 in each section and overall Bachelors Degree in Business/Level 6/160 UCAS points Degree in Business or appropriate programme with 55% £8000 fees (£4000 deposit and £4000 on enrollment)

The MBus has been developed to offer an undergraduate degree that combines a traditional bachelor's level programme with an extra master's year, forming a single qualification. This is an alternative to the traditional MSc qualification and benefits from funding at the same rate as undergraduate degrees.

The programme utilises a range of complementary modules, offering students the benefits of a broad understanding of business functions and activities throughout the levels of study to enable the development of a deep and analytical knowledge and understanding of both the theories and practice related to business and management. At master's level, there is a focus on contemporary `future proofing' organisations by enabling students to develop the skills in both sourcing and utilising business and economic evidence and trends, from a global marketplace, to best inform and underpin organisational strategic imperatives.

One area of focus will be on the sustainability agenda both in the context of the earth's resources and corporate social responsibility, in addition to the context of achieving a sustainable competitive advantage. The value of employability skills will also be both implicitly and explicitly explored the attitudes towards sustainable development lead towards softer skills and the development of people in organisations. This theme will be further explored and expanded upon through the enhancement of student understanding around the psychology of employee talent development at the final level of study.

A further distinctive emphasis will be the organisational/institutional perspective when looking at the impact of both internal and external business environment developments. This is a particularly key consideration when organisations are operating within a globalised market - something addressed in depth within the MBus.

The specific research content will offer not only academic-based skills relating to the sourcing, collection and analysis of data, but will also provide vital transferable skills which align to, and underpin, many strategic decisions within organisations.

For students already holding a suitable undergraduate or professional qualification, the programme offers the opportunity for a distinctive one year (two years part-time) master's level qualification which focuses on contemporary issues for strategic decision making.
