Overview
We list Operations Management MSc because it keeps coming up in counselling sessions, and because the spread of entry terms across the UK is wider than most applicants expect. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Operations Management runs case work, live briefs and group consultancy alongside the core theory. We currently work with 36 universities on this course across 29 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £16.000 to £34.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
