This module acts as a key vehicle for the completion of the taught part of the Master in Management programme and comprises of teaching based in Southampton Business School. It comprises of four key themes and skillsets, which are applied to the group consulting project:

- Sustainability
- Innovation
- Leadership and Change
- Consultancy Skills: Proposal pitch and presentation.

The module includes lectures on these four subjects. But you are also expected to draw upon your previous learning, in order to maximise your contribution to the group consulting project and to maximise the integrative nature of your learning in this taught module.

The module requires groups of students to address a given problem for a real ('live') client organisation and work through a process of problem solving applying knowledge and skills in sustainability, innovation, and leadership and change, and utilising consultancy skills to advise the client.

The group projects are carried out for external organisations, including commercial companies, public sector organisations or charities. Projects are carried out in the same way as a conventional consultancy project and are assessed to the same standards, but are supervised by the Module Leader or appointed member of faculty.

The projects form part of a case study and students will work as a small group to make a proposal pitch presentation.
Students also have to complete an individual reflective assignment, which focuses on the learning from this module and their personal development.

This module acts as a key vehicle for the completion of the taught part of the MBA programme and comprises of teaching based in Southampton and an international study trip which includes a 'live' group consulting project for a local organisation. It comprises of four key themes and skillsets, which are applied to the group consulting project:

- Sustainability
- Innovation
- Leadership and Change
- Consultancy Skills.

The module includes lectures on these four subjects. But you are also expected to draw upon your previous learning in Stages 1 and 2, in order to maximise your contribution to the group consulting project and to maximise the integrative nature of your learning in this final taught module.

The module requires groups of students to address a given problem for a real ('live') client organisation and work through a process of problem solving applying knowledge and skills in sustainability, innovation, and leadership and change, and utilising consultancy skills to advise the client.

The group projects are carried out for external organisations, including commercial companies, public sector organisations or charities. Projects are carried out in the same way as a conventional consultancy project and are assessed to the same standards, but are supervised by the Module Leader or appointed member of faculty.

The projects form part of the international study trip and students will work with the client organisations during the week abroad, as well as having some initial contact via Skype before the study trip takes place. The group produces a presentation that will be delivered to the client, normally to the senior team on the last day of the study trip. Following or during the presentation clients may question the students on any element of their work and findings. A few weeks after the study trip, the group then submits a final project report assignment based on this project.

Students also have to complete an individual reflective assignment, which focuses on the learning from this module and their personal development at the end of Stage 2 of the MBA.

The course will introduce you to anthropological concepts, e.g. what is meant by cultural knowledge, values and beliefs, the way these are expressed through language, and how cultural knowledge relates to behaviour and social structures.

This module offers an opportunity to learn about mathematics education. We explore different perspectives on the teaching and learning of mathematics drawing on research and theoretical considerations. You will also experience a range of research-informed activities exploring numbers (numeracy), data (probability and statistics), algebra and geometry (National Curriculum content to GCSE level or equivalent). You will also reflect on learners’ experiences (including your own), connecting them to educational theories and empirical research.

This module is recommended for anyone interested in mathematics; and particularly for those considering careers in either teaching or education research.

This module is focused on how we learn online. You will be given an overview of learning theory and research into online learning. You will have an opportunity to explore a range of teaching and learning techniques you can implement in your practice. The diverse and international demographic of our students on this programme will provide you with opportunities to learn with and from other peoples’ experiences of the theory, practice, and research.

The module will examine various aspects of theory, practice, and research of online teaching and learning. The module will enable you to critically evaluate and improve your own educational practice. For example module content will include critical engagement with the use of AI to support teaching, topics such as the Universal Design for Learning.

Learning to Learn is designed to provide students with an introduction to cognitive psychology, with an emphasis on memory and learning in educational contexts. The module specifically aims to explore the gap between how people think they should learn and how empirical research suggests they should learn. The module will therefore introduce students to classic studies in cognitive psychology, while also providing students with practical tips to improve their learning.
