Programme overview

The MSc in Strategic Management & Consulting prepares students for careers in leading consulting firms and corporate strategy teams through a curriculum built around real business challenges, practitioner insight, academic rigour, and a highly structured Strategy Club.

    • A dual standard combining practitioner credibility and analytical rigour. Every deliverable is assessed on two dimensions: would a client buy this, and are the assumptions tested?
    • Hands-on consulting from day one. Learning from real projects, real clients, and direct experience sharing with practitioners from leading firms including McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, and BCG, alongside systematic preparation for consulting firm interviews.
    • A Strategy Club built around four structured pillars. Seminar series, case cracking, company presentations, and company visits. 
    • An annual Study Trip.An international immersion combining company visits, market exposure, and strategic insights.
    • Harvard Summer School. Three weeks of on-campus immersion at one of the world’s leading universities.* A distinctive Ivy League experience embedded into the programme.
    • Current and future-ready. The curriculum integrates the latest developments in technological innovation, AI, and digital analytics, ensuring graduates are prepared for the evolving consulting landscape.
    • Highly selective. A highly selective cohort of up to 35 students.

      *Participation is subject to academic excellence, exemplary attendance, and active participation in class.
