MSc Management with Business Innovation

The MSc in Management with Business Innovation at Birkbeck, University of London, is designed to help you understand the basics of managing a business. It focuses on new ideas and thinking strategically about how businesses work.

During the course, you'll study things like how to manage innovation, how to use data to understand business (that's business analytics), and how to make important decisions for the future of a company (strategic decision-making). This course is good for people who want to be leaders of change and bring new and creative ideas to businesses.

You'll be taught through talks (lectures), smaller group discussions (seminars), and activities where you can get involved (interactive sessions). Your progress will be checked through assignments you do during the course (coursework), exams, and a long final piece of writing (a dissertation of about 12,000 words). This way of learning helps you understand the theory and also develop practical skills.

Birkbeck, University of London, is a well-respected university that's known for holding its classes in the evenings. This means students can often work during the day and study in the evening. They have a range of master's degree courses that focus on research and offer different ways to learn that fit around people's lives. Birkbeck started way back in 1823 to give working men and women the chance to get an education, which was many years before most other universities in the UK even allowed women or people who worked to study there.
