Employers need managers who can navigate the complexities of business and show global awareness. Our MSc in Management (MiM) will equip you with these key skills and a range of management techniques to prepare you for a successful career.
Specifically, MiM graduates can draw from significant managerial and leadership skills for successfully:
- managing various functional processes and problems at operational and strategic levels in an increasingly global and digital world,
- managing change, entrepreneurship and innovation, taking regional and global challenges into account, and
- crafting business policy and strategy, tackling contemporary opportunities and risks.
This programme is for graduates of all backgrounds who want to kick-start their management careers and achieve an industry-standard level in management studies. Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) developed the programme through a co-design approach, which is reviewed annually by students, alumni, and business representatives to ensure continuous improvement and absolute relevance. Due to the scope of our leading Management School, the MiM programme offers a far-reaching knowledge base that enhances your employability.
