Course Overview

For students entering the MBM in September, during the first semester you will attend lectures and tutorials for core modules that have been selected to provide you with a fundamental underpinning in the subject area of Business and Management. 

Core modules studied in semester one are Leading, Managing and Developing People and Marketing and Strategy. 

The second semester of the programme commences with an intensive introduction to the 60 credit Capstone Project, and associated research methods training. You will also pursue your choice of elective module, and complete the remaining 30 credits of the Business and Management ‘core’: Operations and Project Management. 

During the summer term, you will work independently to carry out your research project. You will receive guidance from a member of academic staff, appointed as your supervisor.

If you are joining the MBM in January then you will start with the semester two modules of the September starts, also work independently (but with supervisor support) to carry out your research project during the summer term, and complete your programme by doing the remaining modules in semester one of the next September intake.

The design of our postgraduate programmes focuses on four taught modules and a capstone project. We believe that simplicity in programme design provides you with a better learning experience. The dynamic and challenging nature of contemporary business does not isolate concepts into small packages – and neither do our programmes. This approach links concepts together as they are in the real world, and enables you to focus in on what really matters.

Entry Requirement 

Academic Requirements:

Normal minimum entry requirements are a 2:2 honours degree in any discipline, or an equivalent professional qualification. Candidates who do not possess a first degree or who have been awarded a third class honours or pass degree may be considered for the programme on the basis of previous work experience or relevant training.

If English is not your first language, you will need to have achieved at least 6.5 in IELTS or equivalent exams.

English Language Requirements:

The following Secure English Language tests (SELTs) are Home Office (UKVI) approved and accepted by the University of Plymouth and the University of Plymouth International College (UPIC). The scores required have been increased from the UKVI minimum specified scores to meet University requirements.

  • IELTS (Academic)
  • Trinity College London ISE (only a SELT if taken in the UK)
  • LanguageCert International ESOL 
  • Pearson PTE Academic

A SELT must be taken at an approved UKVI center.

The other tests and qualifications listed here have been deemed acceptable by the University of Plymouth and UPIC to meet our entry requirements and UKVI requirements for study at RQF 6 and above. 

Please note that these tests and qualifications are not SELTs.

When studying on a pre-sessional course or course below RQF 6, a SELT is a mandatory requirement set by UKVI.
