Further Details

This programme is particularly attractive to students pursuing Bachelor of Computing degrees in Information Systems, as the combined curricula provide an enriching education in management of both human resources and information technology. Following on from this concurrent programme is an European Master’s in International Management (MIM), which are eligible to students after completing this concurrent programme. Through this route, students can therefore get three degrees: Bachelor + MSc(Mgt) + MIM in 5.5 to 6 years. MIM requires students to spend half year in each of two top Business schools. About a quarter of MIM students end up as management consultants, many with the prominent corporate members of CEMS (The Global Alliance in Management Education). School of Business offers limited Study Awards.
