MSc in Applied Business Skills at University of Buckingham

Congratulations! You’ve worked hard to gain your undergraduate degree and now is the time to decide what direction you want the next stage of your life to go.

There are many excellent graduate schemes and a whole host of interesting postgraduate study opportunities; but you want something that will set you apart; something that will make your CV stand out, not just in your first job, but in the years to come. Something that is recognised by employers, that says something important about your ability to hit the ground running, take on responsibility and adapt to the rapidly changing business environment.

The MSc in Applied Business Skills focusses on examining and exploring the competencies that 81% of UK businesses consider to be the most important to succeed in the commercial world.

These important skills include: Understanding the Commercial World, Innovation and Enterprise, Written and Verbal Communications, Leadership, Organisation and Planning, Selling, Technology and Creative Design.

In addition to gaining a deeper, postgraduate level insight into academic models and theories, students will be given the opportunity to learn via experiential education. They will also analyse their own research, while building professional relationships with potential employers.
