The MSc in Management Practice is an innovative new course at our Lord Ashcroft International Business School, designed to meet the growing demand in both international and corporate markets for a core degree in the 'practice of management'. With an inbuilt flexibility, it offers the option to specialise in either sector-specific or specialist business functions, including international management practice, financial management practice, and marketing management practice.
The course will support the development of management practitioners and business graduates. Through their academic studies, practice-based learning and experience, they will gain both generic and context-specific skills, competencies and knowledge, which will support 'confident futures' in management within regional, national and international business organisations.
In pursuit of this goal, this course will:
* enable you to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and critical analysis of the personal, managerial and organisational challenges of real-world management practices
* develop your skills, as a business graduate, to be adept at both the theories and practice of management within both academic and organisational contexts through a practice-based approach to the study of management
* develop your analytical and reflective abilities as an independent learner, and a critically reflective management practitioner
* promote the development of your intellectual capability, personal, academic and commercial skills, and creative thinking in order that you can generate original solutions to management problems in an organisational context
* develop your insights, critical thinking and management skills through exposure to the theory and practice of business and management
* widen your perspective beyond your immediate management role and/or organisation
* enhance your employability as a management practitioner.

Assessment
Assessment reflects management practice in the work environment and includes assignments, presentations, reflective portfolios and personal development plans, all related to management practice in real organisations. There are no formal examinations.
There will be two types of assessment, formative and summative. Summative assessment (which will contribute to the final degree) will include:
* assignments-individual and group, reports, essays, tests and presentations
* a portfolio including performative/patchwork text/artefacts and work-based/action-learning tools
* group and individual presentations
* learning logbook.
The aim is to maintain flexibility and to employ a wide range of methods.
The summative assessment for the compulsory modules will be adequately spaced out to allow students to plan their work.
Formative assessment will take place during the semester, but the requirements are more flexible and will be less time consuming.
Integration of learning across modules is achieved through integrative assessments such as portfolios.
For those on the work-based and hybrid modes, the work-based learning methodologies/interventions will be drawn upon for completion of the assessment.
Teaching will include a wide range of approaches, including lecture, seminar, video and case studies.
