Course Description:

'' This programme presents an opportunity for qualified managers with substantial relevant experience to study at master’s level. The programme is designed to enable participants to focus on an area of the management of innovation and change that is of specific interest to them and that will enable them to develop specialist expertise that they judge will provide them with career enhancing potential. The course is designed as a top-up programme to master’s level for those who hold a Diploma in Management Studies (DMS). However, if you do not have a DMS, but have held a senior position within an organisation that has provided you with sufficient experience at the right level, you may still be eligible to join. You are welcome to apply to join the course through the accreditation of prior experience. If you need to take this route, you should apply early because you will need to participate in an accreditation process.

The course consists of a single module that addresses Research Methods, Critical Issues in Research and how to deliver a master’s dissertation (20,000 words). In addition, students have to produce a reflective practice essay that reviews their personal development arising from the workshop programme. Teaching is delivered through an occasional one day workshop format. Workshops are delivered approximately every third week during the first semester. Thereafter, during semester two, students work with an experienced tutor to develop and deliver their dissertation.

Upon graduation, if you are not already a member, you may apply to join the Chartered Management Institute. If you have ten years of management experience you would be eligible to become a Fellow of the Institute.

Dissertation Incorporating Organisational Research Methods and Critical Issues in Research
The module explores a range of research techniques and the underpinning philosophy to enable students to operationalise a rigorous research framework. At the end of the module, students will have developed a research proposal to guide them through the development of their dissertation and explored in some depth how their study and participation on the workshops has contributed to their personal development both as an individual and as a manager.

Dissertation:
The Dissertation provides the opportunity for students to explore an area of interest that will prove of value in furthering their future careers. Students are allocated a tutor who will provide guidance and advice throughout the dissertation process.
