About Business Management, PG Dip - at University of Essex Online

Succeeding in business requires not only the knowledge of commercial best practices - it also demands a high level of interpersonal and professional skills. Studying online for a postgraduate diploma is an excellent way to develop both.

This focused course explores many of the key areas of business, including:

  • the main principles and practices of contemporary management and organisational behaviour
  • financial decision-making in the short and long term
  • micro- and macro-economics and their relevance to managerial decision-making
  • theories of leadership and how they apply in practice
  • the key concepts that underlie marketing and how to develop a strategy

You can also add in optional modules to tailor your course to your career goals, with topics including project management, human resources and business strategy.

Once you have completed your course, you have the opportunity to advance onto a full Master of Business Management (MBM).

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.
