How do you launch a management career? What’s the best way to build a team or grow a business? Our Postgraduate Certificate in Business and Management gives you the confidence to lead, supported by essential theories, skills and knowledge.

Getting a grip on business strategy is essential for management success. You’ll learn how to analyse the internal, external and international business environment. You’ll study key business theory and we’ll share methods to boost your skills in making decisions and setting objectives.

The best leaders are inspirational. We’ll help you develop strong personal leadership skills. We’ll show you how to manage projects, motivate teams, and make crucial decisions. You’ll also be able to add a module in people management or business operational management.

You’ll leave us with an impressive set of transferable management skills ready to kickstart a management career in your field or make the jump into a new area.

Your future career

Your expertise will be sought after by potential employers across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.

Your CV will impress recruiters with a combination of in-depth knowledge of your subject area and essential leadership and management skills. You’ll be able to apply for roles in general management, organisational development, or consultancy.

You’ll also have the potential to continue with further professional or academic study. Explore options such as a Postgraduate Diploma, taught Masters degree or Masters by Research (MRes) award.

You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above) in any subject other than business and management. You may also be able to join the programme without a degree, subject to an interview, if you have appropriate professional qualifications or experience.
