Our January start MSc courses give you the flexibility to choose how to spend your autumn.
Dissertation
The traditional way to finish a master’s degree, a dissertation is an option on all our MSc courses. You’ll research a topic in detail. This could be either an academic research question or a practical challenge. You’ll review existing research, analyse data and produce recommendations with support from an academic advisor. Our Dissertation Boot Camp will prepare you for all aspects of your dissertation.
Practice Track
Work in teams on a project with an external client organisation. You'll gain experience of setting project objectives, project management and presenting.
On our January start courses, the Practice Track is available for students studying MSc Marketing.
Internship
Apply your academic knowledge in a real job with a summer internship at an organisation. You'll develop your skills, learn about an industry and gain experience of a practical work environment.
We can't guarantee internships, but our MSc Careers team will support you with your job search and at all stages of the application process.
On our January start courses, internships are available for students studying MSc Finance.
Entrepreneurial project
Work in a group to develop an entrepreneurial project within one of four settings:
- independent venture
- corporate venture at an existing company

You'll learn to:
- identify an opportunity and exploit it innovatively
- evaluate assumptions and uncertainties affecting the business model or problem
- collect and analyse data to test these assumptions
- incorporate the results into an innovative business model or solution
On our January start courses, Entrepreneurial projects are available for students studying MSc Marketing.
