Developing managers who think critically and achieve results
This enables practising and potential managers to think critically and develop themselves and their organisations. The Public Service Management MBA places a special emphasis on areas of management particularly relevant to the public services, including the third sector. Part time study allows the maximum transfer of knowledge and new ideas from course to workplace, offering benefits for employers and equipping students with personal, professional and strategic capabilities.
The course focuses on management development by building the knowledge, confidence and competencies to address complex business problems in a fast-changing global business environment. The course also emphasises the need for 'soft' and 'hard' management skills, promoting problem-solving, communication, multi-disciplinary thinking, team work and intercultural management skills. In addition, consultancy and research skills are enhanced through specialist workshops.
You learn the latest theories, models and concepts of managing functions and organisations. The emphasis is on developing the knowledge in an applied and integrated way. Your written projects will link an area of learning to your work situation.
