Management is the lifeblood of any organisation. Understanding the processes through which organisations develop, transform and achieve results is the core of management studies. Our MSc challenges your way of thinking – and teaches you to handle strategic situations holistically.

We’ll help you to become a business leader who can deliver innovative solutions to business problems. On this course, you have the opportunity to work with local organisations to prepare a consultancy project for a business. You’ll develop essential personal and professional skills, including:

• leadership
• resilience
• critical thinking.

You’ll be based at the University of Sussex Business School. The School is a member of the United Nations Global Compact network, committed to creating a sustainable and inclusive global economy. We follow the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), which means we incorporate global social responsibility and sustainability values into our teaching and research. We collaborate across disciplines to shape global issues in business, management and society, making an impact on policy, practice and people. Our strength is in managing innovation at the interface of business and society while focusing on sustainable strategies and policies.
