The MSc is designed to reflect the expectation that candidates joining the award will have some suitable technical education, knowledge and/or expertise.
A key educational aim will be to further develop this knowledge and expertise and augment it with broader, business based management knowledge and skills.
This reflects a broader professional practice based recognition that for those people who wish to progress a management career within a technical field or environment, ‘on the job’ managerial experience gained is insufficient to support their effectiveness and specific management education is required.
