Do you aspire to become a manager and leader? This course is ideal if you enjoy rising to the challenge and finding creative solutions to problems, thinking on your feet and want to work in a fast-paced environment. It is designed to give you the opportunity to develop the key business management, leadership and decision making skills needed for today's dynamic business environment.

This is a brand new course and is designed for those of you that are interested in developing practical skills to harness information to generate business and social values in the new digital era.

This course will prepare you for the wider global world of business. You may even end up working outside the UK for a multinational corporation or international agency.
