About Master of Business Management, MBM - at University of Essex Online

Prepare yourself for the modern business environment with one of our unique postgraduate business pathways. Our Master of Business Management focuses on core topics and contemporary issues in the corporate world.

Managers in today's business landscape need to be flexible, dynamic and focused - all of which are skills you will develop during your online study. They need to have a solid understanding of multiple disciplines, as well as the innovative mindset to face a range of challenges.

This course focuses particularly on the areas of leadership, finance and marketing, while allowing you to customise the course to fit your interests with optional modules on:

  • how globalisation leads to managing across cultures
  • project management methodology
  • human resource management and its distinction from personnel approaches
  • business strategy and strategic management

The culmination of the course is your Business and Management Research Report, an independent research project that you'll undertake into the management or organisational issue of your choice. You'll investigate the topic, analyse data and make recommendations supporting the research findings and analysis.

If you are interested in business but looking to focus on a specific area, take a look at our Masters degrees that combine business with finance, human resources, marketing or project management.

We're proud to be rated Gold in the Times Higher Education (THE) Online Rankings 2024. Our achievement, which is based on four pillars - resources, engagement, outcomes and environment - recognises our commitment to excellent online education.
