The BPIF is offering a MSc Management in partnership with the University of South Wales to the printing industry giving Graduate Management Programme learners the chance to extent their studies. 

The MSc Management will be delivered by Management Development Centre (MDC) and awarded by University South Wales. Ursula Daly, BPIF programme director commented, The feedback from our learners completing the Graduate Management Programme this July has been tremendous. There is a real desire amongst them to continue learning and the MSc Management allows them to build on their level five achievements and achieve a Masters level qualification very quickly.’

This programme will allow current graduates and other qualifying employees within the industry the chance to attain an MSc Management in as little as 12 months. For graduates of the level 5 programme, this will involve completing only two modules and a dissertation. The programme will encompass two residential weekends and great networking opportunities. 

‘I have developed a more confident approach to business, the MSc has changed the way in which I think, and it has stretched my thought processes. I valued the networking opportunities, the insight into other organisations and industry sectors was fascinating and the people were interesting and enjoyable company.’ Carole Dunleavy, purchasing manager at Sony Manufacturing UK Ltd

The MSc Management can be funded by the individual and will cost £5750 + VAT, but many previous students have managed to secure sponsorship from their company because of the benefits the programme provides. For example, the dissertation can equate to a large-scale research project which the company would otherwise have to commission externally.
