MSci Management with Integrated Master’s

Management with Integrated Masters is run from Keele Business School, located in a state-of-the-art, multi-million-pound facility, a 220-seat lecture theatre, a ‘think lab’ study space, data laboratory, cafe, and business lounge. Home to our accounting, business management, economics, finance, HRM, international business, management, and marketing programs, Keele Business School is the first to be located on a Science Park. As well as new teaching spaces, our building is unique in that it is also home to the Smart Innovation Hub, a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which includes space and support programs for innovation-led businesses, providing opportunities for students and staff to work collaboratively with entrepreneurs and business owners, gaining invaluable networks and experience.
