Course description
What will you study?
As well as providing you with expert knowledge on research theory and application, the course also considers issues of client and account management in a business-to-business context, together with the broader aspects of consultancy practice.
Instead of following a set syllabus, this course is customised to meet your specific and individual learning needs and interests. It allows your studies to be focused and applied to the needs of your employer and even your employer’s clients (ie work-based learning). This means that it is possible for you to have an individualised masters programme, tailored to your specific situation. Therefore, programmes are infinitely variable. Each one is designed and agreed following extensive, in-depth, discussions with you and your employer.
