Summary
On this MSc Corporate Governance, you will study the complex and changing relationships between business corporations, their stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers) and the societies in which they operate.
The economic and financial aspects of corporate governance relationships have long been of concern to those in the business and investment communities, and in recent years the social, political and moral aspects of these relationships have also become a major public concern.
This Master's degree in corporate governance is ideal if you are interested in the policy aspects of corporate governance, or you wish to be involved professionally in the direction and regulation of companies and the management or trusteeship of pension funds and other investments.
The course combines coursework and independent research leading to a dissertation.
