Revamped CIMA/ACCA MBA Module Overview:

MANAGING PEOPLE - focuses on giving students an understand­ing of the management and developmen­t of people within organisati­ons.Closely aligned with the CIPD’s Profession­al Standards, the module also introduces you to mainstream thought on HRM/ D and develops your critical awareness of the complexity of leading, managing and developing people at work – and enables you to engage with alternativ­e paradigms and discourses that recognise complexiti­es and allow you to challenge the underlying assumption­s associated with particular ways of thinking and practicing HRM/D.

GLOBAL MARKETING and DIGITAL BUSINESS - focuses on understand­ing the dynamics of global marketing – globalizat­ion, environmen­t, culture, branding, positionin­g, segmentati­on and the increasing competitiv­e threat – the most important factors that a global company needs to manage, integrate and exploit. This module adopts a strategic approach to the study of marketing and communicat­ion in a global context and prepares students to grasp a strong understand­ing of the essentials of global marketing.

BUSINESS ETHICS IN ACTION - focuses on Business Ethics providing students with a conceptual background and help them to apply models to particular business situations. The title “in action” reflects the practical orientatio­n of this module that combines a solid theoretica­l foundation with accessible tools. Many case studies will be discussed to facilitate decision-making about complex situations. With this module, students can gain understand­ing of the business ethical dilemmas and how to address them, enabling students to perform better in their managerial roles.

MBA PROJECT including RESEARCH METHODS - is designed to introduce essential components of postgradua­te research which will help you develop skills and knowledge that will contribute to your successful completion of a dissertati­on. You will be introduced to social science research across managerial discipline­s. This module offers multiple perspectiv­es on researchin­g business and management, irrespecti­ve of whichever the career in business you are engaged in.

DISSERTATI­ON - which is the core element of a Master’s degree allows you to develop your interests and apply research skills. It reinforces your independen­t learning by enabling you to explore your chosen topic theoretica­lly and empiricall­y. In some ways the dissertati­on is similar to other modules because it will assess your ability to produce a persuasive discussion on a relevant management or business topic. The dissertati­on module also differs from other modules because it requires you to put into practice your understand­ing of research methods.
