Course summary
Our intensive, one-year MSc Management with a specialism in Digitalisation and Big Data is for graduates from a wide range of subject backgrounds. It is not necessary to have any prior academic or practical experience in business or management. This programme is for students who aspire to management-level digital roles within their chosen industry. Our MSc Management pathways provide an introduction to management followed by a detailed exploration of a specific area of management theory and practice, in this case digitalisation and big data. This programme attracts students from around the globe and you will be part of a cohort with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests. Within this MSc pathway, you will develop an in-depth understanding of the digital environments of today's organisations.

We aim to guide, teach and develop analytical and confident critical thinkers. You will gain insight into the nature of management and digital business and will be armed with the knowledge to apply management theory to practice. Group work and presentations, often based on industry case studies, allow practical application of theory and develop the teamwork and communication skills expected in today's workplace. Bristol is an entrepreneurial city and home to SETSquared, the world's top university business incubator (UBI Global).

Entry requirements
An upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in any discipline. For applicants who are currently completing a degree, we understand that their final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades they achieve during their studies. We will consider applicants whose interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements. We may make these applicants an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so the applicant would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of their degree. Specific module requirements may still apply. We will consider applicants whose grades are slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements, if they have a relevant postgraduate qualification. If this is the case, applicants should include their CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when they apply, showing details of their relevant qualifications. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
