COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Management program at Oxford Brookes University provides students with a comprehensive understanding of modern management, leadership, organisational behaviour, and international business practices. Through compulsory modules, students explore employee engagement, performance management, workplace learning, coaching, project management, and leadership within contemporary organisations. The course develops both theoretical knowledge and practical management skills, helping students understand how organisations operate, manage change, and lead diverse teams in international and cross-cultural environments. Students also examine the role of ethics, sustainability, equality, diversity, inclusion, and technology in modern leadership and business practice. Modules such as Managing International Organisations introduce students to the operations and challenges faced by multinational companies, NGOs, SMEs, the European Union, and the United Nations, while Research Methods prepares them for advanced academic and professional research. The program also offers optional Academic English modules to strengthen postgraduate writing, reading, and research skills, particularly for international students or those with limited UK academic experience. The course concludes with a substantial Final Research Project, where students can choose from options such as a dissertation, client consultancy project, integrated business research project, or business development proposal. This allows students to apply their learning to real-world organisational challenges or entrepreneurial ideas. Overall, the program equips graduates with leadership, analytical, communication, and research skills needed for successful careers in management, consultancy, international business, and entrepreneurship.
