MSc Business Transformation

The course is designed to be completed in one year, divided into three semesters. Semester one will begin in late September 2023, with the final coursework to be submitted in August at the end of semester three.

To kick-start your journey, a dedicated induction day will be provided for all students to introduce you to the course, teaching teams, and university facilities, followed by an informal social event.

Each core module will be delivered as a sprint, with most of the teaching delivered in the first weeks. These modules will last over four weeks, with touch points in weeks two and three. The fourth week will be left clear for assessment work. This structure allows you to focus on one subject at a time while also providing ample time for preparation and assessment work.

The course will use a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, simulations, seminars, and workshops, to develop your knowledge and understanding. Small group tutorials are also provided to support your development of subject knowledge and transferable skills. Alongside developing critical thinking and analytical skills, you will also gain a c-suite level understanding of how different business functions can work together to bring about sustainable business transformation.

Throughout the course, you will be equipped with key tools and models that are effective in real life, which will enable you to raise the key questions required to develop a transformative venture. You will also be taught the skills to conduct applied research in any business design and operations area using a pragmatic research approach that aligns research methods and techniques to achieve business objectives and test business hypotheses or questions to be answered.

The course is designed to adopt a problem-solving approach that begins with identifying and diagnosing your business model to pinpoint gaps and norms. Through various modules, you will be guided in transforming your model and ultimately onboard early adopters to accelerate your venture's growth.
