MSci Business and Management with Innovation
About this course
Business and management education has evolved significantly in response to the recognition that the challenges of the twenty-first century require a different kind of thinking. Innovation, the ability to generate novel solutions to complex problems and to bring them to market or into practice, has become central to how organisations compete and how societies address public challenges. At the University of Bristol, this four-year full-time degree with foundation year places innovation at the heart of its business curriculum, encouraging you to think across the conventional boundaries between arts, science, engineering, humanities, and enterprise. You will cover the core disciplines of management, including strategy, marketing, finance, operations, and organisational behaviour, but with a consistent emphasis on how these functions interact in the creation and scaling of new ideas. The programme takes seriously the view that innovative thinkers need breadth as well as depth, and you will have the opportunity to engage with perspectives from outside business that enrich your understanding of how change happens and how to make it happen purposefully. The foundation year gives you a structured entry point into the programme if your background does not yet meet the standard entry requirements, providing the academic and intellectual preparation needed to thrive on the main degree. Team working, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and creative problem-solving are central to how the programme is taught as well as to what it teaches. The typical entry tariff is 168 UCAS points. Graduates from this programme are well equipped for careers in management consultancy, entrepreneurship, product development, corporate strategy, marketing, and the growing range of roles in organisations where innovation is a strategic priority. Bristol's strong connections to the business and technology communities in the South West and beyond support graduate employability. Many students also go on to postgraduate study in business, management, or related fields, building on the entrepreneurial and analytical foundations the degree provides.
