Masters by Research in Business and Management

A one year research master in business, covering research design and method, business and management research context, and a substantial supervised research project.

This completes the six research masters at BCU, all of which sit on the higher IELTS 6.5 band rather than the standard 6.0 the taught masters accept.

Masters by Research in Business and Management is taught at the Birmingham City University, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the business research master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the business research master ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the business research master you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the business research master as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the business research master cannot support a family move.
