The Advanced Practice version of this course offers you a valuable opportunity to secure a work placement or complete a group consultancy project, giving you an experience of the workplace environment or live industry issues, and an excellent way to put your learning into practice. This stage of the programme will take place between your second and final semester, and is a semester-long (15 weeks) in duration.

We will support you in the application process and equip you with the necessary internship application and selection skills (e.g. CV writing, interview techniques etc). All internships will be approved by the University to ensure that they offer you an appropriate learning experience and working environment.

Subjects

All modules on this course are core and 20 credits unless otherwise stated.

Core Modules
Strategic Supply Chain Relationship and Innovation
Global Supply Chain and Operations Improvement
Supply Chain Sustainability, Resilience and Risk Management
Strategic Procurement and International Logistics
Leadership and Management Development (20 credits)

This module engages you in personal and professional development in order that you develop and hone your team working, management and leadership skills, capabilities and attributes, and in so doing, enhance your employability. On this module, you will not only prepare for your first job after you graduate but also kick-start your commitment to life-long personal and professional learning. In the first part of the module, you will be supported in self-analysis by a range of activities, including the completion of self-administered tool-kits to demonstrate an increased self-awareness and self-understanding.

A key outcome of this process is how you will be able to exploit this development in order to lead, and manage, more effectively in your future careers. The second part of the module contains activities which enable you to build on your self-analysis and explore further your strengths, weaknesses and areas for development in the context of your career development plans.

This will also include the development of knowledge into the global graduate market, (including routes such as self-employment and developing your career with an existing employer) drawing upon local, national and international examples.

Research Methods and Analytics for Business Practice (20 credits)

This module will provide you with essential knowledge and analytics skills needed for you to complete a high-quality Masters’ Dissertation, or Consultancy Project. By undertaking and reflecting on practical research-based activities you will understand the process of designing and carrying out a research study, also you will engage in activities that involve the understanding of data and analysis of data.

This will place you in a strong position to undertake your own Masters’ level research or Consultancy Project. At the end of the module, you will write a research proposal, this will be assessed and will contribute to your final mark. In the dissertation you will work under the supervision of a member of academic staff and your proposal will also help to ensure you get the most from this relationship.

Academic Language Skills for Post-Graduate Business Students (0 credits)

The aim of this module is to support your study, language and communication skills for academic purposes in the study in your chosen discipline at the postgraduate level.  The module is designed to enable you to become an advanced independent learner.

The module is supported by a teaching and learning plan which outlines the formal sessions. Interactive workshops will be tailored to address some of the specific issues that you meet within your discipline.  You may also be asked to complete some preparation tasks for some seminars but these will be kept to a minimum. You will be expected to identify those skills which you need within your postgraduate programme, and to develop these independently through a range of learning activities that might include extended reading and reflection.

The Newcastle Business School Masters Dissertation (60 credits)

You will design a research project, assessed through a proposal and will then work under the supervision of a member of academic staff to use and extend the knowledge and skills that you have acquired during your programme of study to complete a dissertation. You will use appropriate research methodologies and data collection methods to critically synthesise a body of knowledge relevant to the taught programme.

In this module, you will gain an understanding of the academic skills that are required to produce a Masters Dissertation. By the end of the module, you will have written a 3000-word dissertation proposal and a 15000 word Masters dissertation.
