How you will be taught

The programme

The MSc BIG programme draws upon current, real life case studies and the latest research findings.

Experiential rather than rote learning is encouraged, and is accomplished through:

• problem-based group work activities
• presentations
• interactive seminars
• conventional lectures

The programme also includes high-profile guest lectures to ensure the latest thinking from key opinion leaders is provided.

The programme can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis.
