Enterprising new degree for business professionals

(17 October 2006)

The region’s middle and senior managers can develop their business skills and improve their individual and organisational performance, thanks to a flexible new course from Durham Business School.

The Executive Masters in Enterprise Management offers experienced professionals a personalised programme to meet their business needs, while encouraging interactive group workshops to put the business theory into practice. Students will study several modules designed to enhance their expertise in key business functions and developing strategic thinking, including Strategic Financial Management, Managing Quality and Change and Enterprising Marketing. The Masters degree culminates in a self-directed 6,000 word Business Report, based on the individual’s organisation. There is still time to enrol on the Executive Masters, and with business people from organisations across a variety of sectors already signed-up, course organisers believe participants will also gain invaluable business insight from each other. The Executive Masters degree launches on 19 October but students may be able to join the course up until 28 November. Richard Whitaker, Senior Programme Tutor at Durham Business School said: “We are excited to launch the Enterprise Masters and feel that the combination of mentor support, flexibility and the personalised programme for each participant will make this degree a relevant and beneficial addition to today’s middle and senior managers and their organisations.” There is an added bonus to the Executive Masters in Enterprise Management, as students also gain the additional award of the Executive Diploma in Management from the Chartered Management Institute and the opportunity to pursue the Chartered Manager status.
