Council for Industry and Higher Education (CIHE) (http://www.cihe. org.uk/) identifies the competencies sought by top global recruiters. They include the ability to work collaboratively within teams of people from a range of backgrounds and countries, having excellent communication skills, and an ability to embrace multiple perspectives and to challenge established thinking.


Chris Dancer, Head of the School of Enterprise, Management and Leadership at the University of Chichester says, “We offer postgraduate programmes in Business and Management that have been designed to address the competencies that global employers look for. We teach in small groups of no more than 15 students to develop teamwork and communication skills. Students are encouraged to discuss their ideas and think critically in a multi-cultural environment, which develops cultural awareness and sensitivity. Throughout the programme, academic study is blended with a practical, project- based approach. This simulates a professional work environment and builds knowledge, experience and the skills required by employers. We offer work placement opportunities


as part of the final three or five- month dissertation project, so students can test their skills and prepare for a higher level of employment.”


Dr Steve Ellis, Senior Lecturer in Human Resource Management at Chichester says, “Any employer should be impressed if a candidate has developed an international perspective to their understanding of business, which is why we make it a key focus, and why our


Masters’ degrees reflect the need for executives to be aware of global issues and cultural differences in a fast moving and interconnected global economy.”


But it’s not just about what is being taught that is an important consideration in choosing a course, it’s also how. Chris Dancer adds, “Because of the way we teach, students have a lot of contact time with tutors. This helps individuals develop the blend of skills employers look for and means Chichester students achieve high levels of success.”


So, when choosing a Master’s degree, don’t just consider the title of the course. Look at how you will be taught, the skills you need to develop, and think beyond the piece of paper you’ll collect at the end. Once you’ve got your Master’s, you can’t give it back!
