Overview

The part-time MSc Business Improvement course at Ulster University equips managers with the knowledge and skills required to better examine their processes and procedures in order to effect strategic improvements and change.

The course recognises a need for organisations and their managers to become focused on operational performance outcomes. This requires management by process, the integration of quality management techniques and a commitment to continuous improvement. The course has been shaped and designed by leading academics and business leaders using the European Foundation Quality Model (EFQM) Excellence Model as its inspiration.
