Project

The project is worth 50% of the final grade and supports you in developing your personal research skills.

For this course, the project must be related to the management of companies or processes in the petro chemical, pharmaceutical or process industry sectors and can address many different aspects of those businesses.

Learning Style

Taught material is a blend of formal lectures, seminars and practical exercises and case studies to encourage teamwork and practical grounding of the material. Module leaders are experts in their fields and are supported by external speakers working in organisations at the forefront of their fields. Industrial visits are available to all students and the course is assessed through assignments.

Requirements

For our MSc programmes you should normally have obtained at least the equivalent of a UKsecond class honours degree, or an equivalent qualification in a science, engineering, IT, business or management discipline. There are some exceptions according to specific courses so please see the the individual course pages for entry requirements to your chosen programme.

WMG and University of Warwick have representatives in several countries worldwide. If you are applying from overseas and would like advice or assistance in country, you can find a list of our international representatives here. Of course you can always email our admissions team in the UK for advice too.

Please note that due to a software fault, our online application system does not currently work with Chrome. You may also experience problems on iOS devices such as iPad and iPhone. We apologise for this. In the meantime, please use another browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox).

You can apply now, even if you do not yet have all the necessary documents ready; if necessary we will make you a conditional offer until you provide them.

You will need to provide:

• A completed application form & application fee.
• A Personal Statement, which can be included in the online application.
• A transcript of marks awarded so far (if you are currently studying) OR a final transcript / degree certificate* (if you have completed your studies).
• English test result (if applicable)
• Two references. If you completed studies less than 2 years ago, these should be academic references.

The easiest way to apply us using our online application form. You do not have to complete the application process in one go, you can work through it at your own pace and it is only when you click "submit" that your application is sent to us.

*Please note: Whilst scanned copy documents uploaded online can be used to consider your application, should you be made an offer you will be required to supply either the original or valid copies of your degree transcripts/certificates (officially translated if applicable).

Please only apply for ONE of our courses, do not submit multiple applications to WMG. Once accepted onto one MSc course, you can request a switch to another, although restrictions apply.

There is a £35 non-refundable fee which must be paid to the University before your application can be processed.

English Requirements

Studying at Warwick requires a high level of competence in English. If you are a non-native English speaker you must show English test results equivalent to IELTS 6.5 with broadly consistent scores in the elements of the test. We accept IELTS, Pearson Test in English (Academic) and TOEFL (iBT).

We do not recognise any other English testing system and we do not routinely carry out English proficiency interviews as a substitute for English test results.

If you do not quite meet these standards, but have an overall IELTS score of 6.0 (or equivalent), we may be able to offer you a place conditional on you attending a 5 or 10 week pre-sessional English course. Students intending to take the pre-sessional course prior an MSc should still apply to WMG.

If you have undertaken three or more years of academic study in higher education in a predominantly English-speaking country, you may be considered for exemption from these English requirements at our discretion.

We do not normally require English test results from students from Nigeria.
