The Student
Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.
Enterprising
Enterprising people like situations that involve using resources for personal or corporate economic gain. Such people may have an opportunistic frame of mind, and are drawn to commerce, trade and making deals. Some pursue sales and marketing occupations. Many will eventually end up owning their own business, or in management roles in larger organisations. They tend to be very goal-oriented and work best when focused on a target. Some have an entrepreneurial inclination.
Career Progression
There is a wide variety of possible careers. Many business programmes offer specialism the opportunity to focus and deepen your knowledge in one specific area of Business. Increasingly, however, successful managers are being asked to be able to contribute to organizational achievements across a number of fronts. They may be tasked with Finance but end up working to support Marketing and Sales. They may be tasked with a strategy for a firm in the fast moving information society space. These examples show that having flexibility to tailor your Masters programme to integrate different business subjects can be an opportunity to differentiate.
