Extended Master of Science - Food Business Management (July)

The Extended Masters and Enhanced Extended Masters programmes at the University of West London are intended for students who already have an undergraduate degree but do not meet the entry requirements to study for a Masters degree. Over a full-time semester, students will study four modules specially designed to improve their academic and English language skills:

• Advanced Study Skills • Critical Thinking, Analysis and Evaluation • Statistics • English (Business English on the Enhanced course)

The Enhanced Extended Masters is similar to the Extended Masters, but with a greater focus on improving students’ English skills. It also includes a Business English module, which will allow students to gain a full understanding of this critical subject area.

Once completed, students will progress directly onto the core Masters course.

The MSc Food Business Management at the University of West London enables students to benefit from comprehensive academic study and encourages them to make the connections between theory and practice. The School, which has been running hospitality management courses since 1991, boasts strong business links and will support students as they begin to develop their professional network.

Led by a team with expertise across food and hospitality, this course takes an innovative approach. Students will examine topics ranging from management theory and practice to food supply chain management.

The course will help students to approach business challenges from a global perspective and assess situations from financial, commercial, societal and cultural standpoints. It embraces product innovation while remaining aware of the ethical and nutritional responsibility of business in modern society.

Students will learn to find innovative solutions to help them promote food businesses. They will also come to understand how to develop action plans based on theoretical frameworks that they will be able to apply throughout their careers to manage change effectively.
