Master of Business Administration with Global Operations and Analytics

The MBA Global Operations & Analytics prepares professionals for leadership and management in organisations operating not just in a local context but globally. Today, even locally based companies are not immune to the need to understand how global operations will affect their business. Much of this learning is increasing gained using data analytics. The programme will equip you with knowledge and skills across the full breadth of the management discipline including people management, strategic development and financial decision-making and control. Your skills will be honed through the lens of international business and leading business transformation, to empower you and your organisation to respond strategically to the changing environment. At all points one of the key strategies in your learning process will be the application of theory to practice to ensure you are ‘business ready’. Your development will be highlighted through the capstone module, which is a choice of consultancy style project or a more theoretical research-based topic.

MSc/PGDip Digital Marketing and Transformation

Modern organisations - whether commercial or non-commercial, private or public, state or non-state - depend more than ever on their experts and managers. The entry of digital marketing as a function into modern organisations is driven by the need to continually attract and retain users of the services they provide. In turn, the penetration of digital technology in all marketing activities and disciplines requires the expression of professionals with specific knowledge and skills.

The MSc in Digital Marketing and Transformations equips current and future marketing professionals with the skills and knowledge to develop strategic transformation in marketing practices across multiple digital platforms. Through an interactive, learner-centred approach to teaching and learning that embeds theory and practice, students will develop a work-ready education that prepares them to be efficient marketing and business managers within a fast-paced, evolving marketing environment.

The defining features of the Master's programme in Digital Marketing and Transformation is to prepare highly qualified specialists for expert, middle managerial and senior managerial level who are able to formulate, research and analyse unstructured problems related to the digital environment of the organisation; are able to develop and apply research tools specifically designed for the digital world; and are able to propose and justify non-standard and creative digital marketing decisions.
