During your studies, you’ll build advanced knowledge of strategic frameworks and develop your skills in strategic management. By learning to apply strategic concepts to solve real-world business issues, you’ll be empowered to lead individuals and organisations through change, navigate complex organisational challenges, and drive long-term success.
You will study nine courses, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of strategic principles and their application in diverse business scenarios. Throughout your studies, you’ll explore strategic frameworks, analyse case studies, and learn to navigate complex business environments, immersing yourself in the strategic challenges faced by businesses globally.
Guided by experienced faculty, you will gain insights into the best practices in strategic management. This programme is not just about obtaining a degree; it's about empowering yourself with the tools to drive impactful, strategic business decisions.
Typically you will hold a recognised first or second class honours degree, or equivalent professional qualification. Students whose native language is not English and who have not been educated previously in the English language must provide evidence of their English language proficiency.
However, at EBS we are proud to make transformative education accessible to diverse communities and individuals across the world, therefore, we offer a performance-based admissions pathway onto our MSc and MBA programmes. This means that we provide a pathway to entry into our MSc and MBA programmes, even if you don’t meet the suggested entry requirements above. You will simply be required to enrol in and successfully pass three courses on your desired MSc or MBA programme (of which one must be a core course) before progressing to complete the full qualification.
