Postgraduate Study

The University of Leicester School of Management is increasingly recognised as one of the top management schools in the United Kingdom, with an excellent international reputation for the development and teaching of intellectually stimulating management courses that are highly relevant to your career needs. More than 10,000 candidates from over 80 countries have graduated from the prestigious Association of MBAs accredited Leicester MBA and are now enjoying successful careers.

Postgraduate Study in the School of Management 

We offer the following courses by campus-based, full-time study:

The School offers challenging and rewarding programmes at PhD, Masters and Undergraduate levels, via full-time, on campus study, and part-time study at a distance; the School being one of the largest and most experienced providers of distance learning postgraduate courses in the UK. The University of Leicester itself sits comfortably within the top twenty of Britain’s Universities, as attested by the rankings provided in the University guides of The Times, The Independent and The Guardian.

The reputation of both the University of Leicester and the School of Management is very high, and that alone made the MSc in Finance an obvious choice for me. However, the quality of the teaching, the course materials and the excellent facilities on campus exceeded my expectations.

Our vibrant group of scholars in accounting, finance, marketing, management and organisation studies have developed a distinctive intellectual profile for the School which emphasises the centrality of ongoing, ethically informed, critical reflection in the delivery of meaningful managerial research and sustainable management practice. We share an intellectual conviction that organising is a highly complex historical phenomenon and that management is best understood in an inter-disciplinary context, drawing from the disciplines of sociology, politics, philosophy and economics as well as from developments in critical psychology, cultural geography, cultural studies and organisational theory.
