This master’s programme provides a solid background for students pursuing a career in management, consulting and government, and for students pursuing an academic career in research and teaching. Utilising the School’s long-standing expertise in management and organisation research, this master’s programme integrates advanced social science perspectives and methods to address managerial and organisational practices and to generate an understanding of the social and political context they are embedded in. The programme deals with key issues facing people in contemporary organisations, including strategic management, organisational change, leadership, knowledge work, power, and globalisation. This gives you the necessary knowledge and skills to critically analyse and deal with the forces and practices that shape and change the future of management and organisations. During the third semester you can choose to do an internship, go on an exchange semester abroad or take electives at the university.
