MSc Strategic Planning
The Masters in Strategic Planning is targeted at individuals who either are, or intend to become,
senior managers holding substantive positions in organisations.
Typically, at senior management level individuals are expected to contribute more than
their functional specialty. In doing so they need to understand how an organisation can arrive

and efficiently than others are more likely to survive and prosper.
