NIMBAS: The Executive MSc in Corporate Governance

Given the recent high profile failures in corporate governance in a wide range of different businesses, NIMBAS Graduate School of Management and Bradford University School of Management have developed an MSc in Corporate Governance that builds on an existing MBA degree in a one-year, part-time Executive programme.

The aim of this programme is to enable international participants from various functional backgrounds to identify and understand the ways in which corporate governance processes impact on their organisations. Understanding these processes and ensuring principles of corporate fairness, transparency and accountability are becoming essential for today’s business leaders.

Those already holding an MBA degree will have a substantial advantage in that many of the areas under study will have formed part of their MBA curriculum. However, this programme will provide a structure and a focus for the main themes involved: 

• The theory and practice of corporate governance itself.
• Corporate reporting and its regulation
• Business ethics
• Internal management control
• Corporate tax management
• Best practice management
• The legal framework surrounding corporate governance
