Overview

A Dual Degree that combines a broad strategic management foundation with a focused vertical specialisation in Operations & Project. Designed for students who want the analytical range of a general management programme and the competitive depth of a specialist master — in a single, integrated 18-month journey.

The Master in Strategic Management (MISM) develops strategic thinking, analytical capabilities and cross-functional leadership across all key business disciplines. The Master in Project Management then builds advanced expertise in Operations & Project, creating a complete managerial profile that unites breadth of vision with technical depth.
