​WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

“After graduating from Plymouth University with a BSc (Hons) Marine Biology and MSc Applied Marine Science, I moved to Tucsan in the United States of America to gain industry experience as a Submarine Liaison Manager, redesigning a manned- submersible.

After three years working abroad I returned to the U.K and applied for the Masters in Business Management at Plymouth.

Studying at Plymouth has enabled me to develop my business knowledge and management expertise, skills which I have transferred these skills into my new role as Project Manager at Devon and Cornwall Business Council.

While studying the MBM programme I produced a report on into Regional Innovation Systems in the SW and Brittany, France. This experience has proven to be been beneficial in for my current position, as I am now responsible for managing an investigation into Knowledge Intensive Services (KIS) in south west Devon, as part of a European project called ATLANT KIS.

I would recommend the MBM to anyone who would like to develop their existing business skills and further their career opportunities.”

​PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS 

Designed specifically for those new or recent graduates who have little or no work experience, our programme goes beyond just instilling in you a thorough grounding in vital business processes and management practices, and the contexts in which they operate. It will challenge you to explore your self-awareness, your value system and your motivations.
 
You will sharpen your critical thinking skills and establish your own individual innovative style and creative approach so when you address your final successful career choice, you will be a confident, resourceful and adaptable manager. Building on the programme’s core of strategic level business and management principles, we will introduce you to theories and practices that will deepen your understanding of relevant disciplines and functions that operate in contemporary organisations. 
 
This is a conversion course for graduates of any discipline, which prepares you for the world of business. No prior work experience is required. The first half of the course introduces you to all the key business functional areas, after which you develop the areas of interest for your future career by taking relevant electives and a project of your choice.
 
The typical class size is 50, with students coming from 12-15 countries, so the cohort is very cosmopolitan.
