Masters options, college by college

Every institution on the counsellor's list, with every relevant non-technical course each one offers: 206 courses, each fact checked by an independent agent against the university's own pages. Updated 20 October 2026.

Best options for her (non-technical marketing)

MSc International Marketing and Branding, University of Dundee. Best fit and best value. CIM accredited, no technical modules, 12 months, starts 18 January 2027, and the January intake asks only 40 to 49 percent from an Indian degree. An automatic £6,500 South Asia scholarship brings the fee to £17,200. Same school, same terms: International Marketing and Management, or Digital and Social Media Marketing.
MSc Marketing (counsellor's #7), University of Birmingham. Strongest name: Russell Group, CIM, non-technical, 12 months. But it needs a 2:1 (55 to 60 percent or more), costs £33,660, and the January visa deadline is 30 October 2026, so realistically this is a September 2027 option.
MSc Digital Marketing, Heriot-Watt University. CIM accredited, starts January 2027, 12 months, £24,952, needs 55 percent and IELTS 6.0. Its analytics module is about using tools like Google Analytics, not coding.
MSc Marketing with Digital Strategy (counsellor's #3), Edinburgh Napier University. CIM and IDM accredited, 55 percent, IELTS 6.0, £20,540 less a £3,000 South Asia scholarship. A January start runs 16 months, so September 2027 is the cleaner 12-month route.
Digital Marketing MSc, London (counsellor's #8), Loughborough University. Highest ranked university on the list, starts 1 February 2027 at £21,300, 50 percent from Amity. Downgraded from first choice: one compulsory module is analytics-heavy, she must avoid six technical options, and CIM is not shown on its page.

If she goes back to HR: Dundee's MSc Management and International HRM (CIPD accredited, January 2027, £23,700 before the £6,500 scholarship) or Exeter's MSc Human Resource Management (CIPD Level 7, September 2027, £31,300). Both are listed on their college cards.

Visa money is what she must show in her bank account for 28 days, at the rates that apply from 30 November 2026: £1,570 a month in London, £1,203 elsewhere, for 9 months. Visa and health fees are the £558 visa fee plus the £776-a-year health surcharge charged on the whole visa length (course plus about 5 months): £1,164 for a 12-month course, £1,552 for 15 to 18 months. Real living costs over a full year will be higher than the visa money. After graduating, the UK Graduate visa gives 18 months; Ireland gives up to 24.

What do CIM, CIPD, 2:1 and Russell Group mean?

CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) is the UK's professional body for marketing. A CIM-accredited masters signals the course meets professional standards. In marketing it is a tiebreaker, not a hard requirement. Do not confuse it with CMI, the Chartered Management Institute, which is the management body.

CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) is the UK's HR body, like ICAI for accountants. UK HR jobs routinely ask for it, so it matters far more in HR than CIM does in marketing.

2:1 and 2:2 are UK bachelor's grades: First, then 2:1 ("two-one"), then 2:2 ("two-two"), then Third. They describe her existing college degree and set the entry bar. Most courses here need a 2:2. Each university converts Indian percentages its own way, so every course card shows her actual bar from Amity.

Russell Group is 24 research-heavy UK universities, roughly the UK's IIT or IIM label. Only Birmingham and Exeter on this list are members.

CAS is the document the university issues after she accepts an offer and pays a deposit. The visa application needs it.

#7 Marketing MSc Recommended Non-technical £33,660 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £33,660 'Full-time January 2027' and £34,830 'Full-time September 2027'. Page data: "Fees (international)","value":"£33,660 January 2027 / £34,830 September 2027". The curl HTML and the Firecrawl rawHtml show the same values.
Length: 1 year full-time for both intakes (course page: 'Duration 1 year full-time'). A January start is not longer. The module catalogue lists a January-cohort Dissertation instance 'CRN 20605 (Edgbaston Campus, Semester 1)', so a January 2027 starter should finish in the autumn 2027 term. This is inferred; the page gives no end date.
Start and deadline: September 2027 or January 2027. January is a new intake: 'From 2027, you can also start this course in January.' The University calendar gives 'Spring Term: 11 January 2027' but warns that taught postgraduate dates 'with a January start date' may vary. For 2027/28 it gives 'Welcome: 20 September 2027' and 'Autumn Term: 27 September 2027'. Visa deadline: '30 October 2026 Application deadline for international students requiring a visa for January start.' For September 2027 the course page says '27 August 2027' but the central apply page says '2 July 2027 Application deadline for most postgraduate taught courses'. The central January 2027 overseas timeline is deposit by 7 December 2026, ...
Entry: '2:1 Honours degree or postgraduate diploma from a UK university (or overseas equivalent) in any subject. Applicants who demonstrate being able to exceed the minimum entry requirements will be given preference.'
Her bar from Amity: India page: 'Holders of Bachelors degree will normally be expected to have achieved 55% - 60% or higher for 2:1 equivalency ... depending on the awarding institution.' For a three-year degree: 'For MSc programmes, the Business School will consider holders of three-year degree programmes (first class or very good upper second class) from recognised institutions in India.' For a four-year degree: 'first class or very good upper second class'. The page does not say which figure applies to Amity.
English: 'IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band' (PTE Academic 67 with no less than 64 in all four skills).
Accreditation: CIM: 'Birmingham's MSc Marketing is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing.' The Business School holds triple-crown accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS).
Compulsory modules: September start: Consumer Insights, Marketing Strategy, and Research and Analysis in Marketing, plus a Dissertation or a Company Project (40 credits). She then picks one of Marketing Communications or Services and Retail Marketing, one of Innovation Management and New Product Development, Reputation Management or Strategic Branding, and both modules of one pathway (Digital, International or Responsible). January start: the core is Marketing Strategy, Research and Analysis in Marketing, Consumer Insights, Marketing Communications, International Marketing and a Dissertation (40 credits), plus both modules of the Digital or Responsible pathway. January starters get no other optional modules.
Tech evidence: Research and Analysis in Marketing (core) is the only quantitative module. Its description: 'This module also provides an introduction to software applications used in the analysis of both qualitative and quantitative research (e.g. SPSS & NVivo).' Assessment: 'Project proposal (2,000 words) (50%) Qualitative data analysis report (1,000 words) (25%) Quantitative data analysis report (1,000 words) (25%)'. The curl JSON and the Firecrawl render agree. Digital Marketing Live Project covers 'social media management, digital marketing metrics, analytics and reporting' and is assessed by an 'Individual 5,000 word live project'.

Human resources 2

Human Resource Management MSc Non-technical £33,660 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £33,660 for a January 2027 start, which is the 2026/27 academic-year rate (the same figure that applied to September 2026 entry). £34,830 for a September 2027 start. Self-funded students living in India who start in January 2027 get an automatic £5,000 High Fliers discount if they accept an unconditional offer by 7 December 2026. That brings the January fee to £28,660.
Length: 1 year full-time for both the January and September intakes. The course page says 'Duration 1 year full-time' and the January programme spec (267L) says 'Length of Programme 1 Year(s)'. Birmingham states no longer duration for January starters, and it does not publish the January cohort's end date.
Start and deadline: Yes, it runs in January 2027 and is on the University's January 2027 list. Visa applicants must apply by 30 October 2026, pay the deposit by 7 December 2026 and meet all conditions by 14 December 2026. The CAS is issued between 14 and 18 December 2026. Birmingham publishes no start date for this course. The University's spring term starts on 11 January 2027, but the term dates page says January-start taught programmes may vary. January starters choose Leadership Development or Managing Work and Organisation as their option.
Entry: A 2:1 Honours degree or a postgraduate diploma from a UK university, or an overseas equivalent. No subject restriction is stated. Applicants who exceed the minimum are given preference.
Her bar from Amity: Birmingham's India page says the Business School considers three-year Indian degrees with 'first class or very good upper second class' for MSc programmes. Four-year degrees need 'first class or very good upper second class' too. As a general guide it expects '55% - 60% or higher for 2:1 equivalency ... depending on the awarding institution'.

English: IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0. PTE Academic 67 with no less than 64 in all four skills is also accepted.

Masters of Public Administration Human Resources MPA Non-technical £32,580 · No January start · 12 months

Fee: £32,580 full time for September 2027 entry (international). There is no January intake, so no January fee applies. It is a 12-month course, so this annual fee is the full tuition.

Start and deadline: No. This course starts in September 2027 only (portal start date 27/09/2027), and visa applicants must apply by 2 July 2027. The University's January 2027 list includes the general Masters in Public Administration MPA, not this HR pathway.

Her bar from Amity: The general India rule applies (School of Government, not a Business School MSc). A three-year Bachelors needs first class.

Digital Media and Creative Industries MA Non-technical £30,420 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: International fee is £30,420 for a January 2027 start, which is the 2026/27 rate (the same as September 2026 entry). It is £31,500 for a September 2027 start. Birmingham charges fees by session and says mid-session starts are normally charged pro rata by month. However, the course page quotes £30,420 as the January 2027 fee. India-domiciled, self-funded January 2027 starters get an automatic £5,000 High Fliers discount if they accept an unconditional offer by 7 December 2026. A non-refundable £3,000 deposit is needed before the CAS is issued, and it is deducted from the fee.
Length: MA 1 year full-time. The January 2027 start runs: Spring term (January to April, three modules), Summer term (May to August, no taught modules, dissertation or project work), then Autumn term (September to December, three modules). On the main calendar that autumn term is 27 September to 10 December 2027. No page says the course runs past 12 months, but the dissertation hand-in date for January starters is not published.
Start and deadline: Yes, January 2027 runs as a full-time MA. The visa application deadline is 30 October 2026, which is 10 days from today, and applications close early if the course fills. On the main calendar, Spring Term teaching starts 11 January 2027. Birmingham says January-start dates may vary and the offer letter has the exact date. The 2026 January cohort had welcome week from 5 January, with teaching from 12 January. Fallback: September 2027, with a visa deadline of 27 August 2027.
Entry: 2:1 Honours degree or equivalent in a subject relevant to Digital Media and Creative Industries. The page does not say whether a business degree counts as relevant.
Her bar from Amity: The general India rule applies, because this is an Arts and Law MA and the Business School's three-year concession does not cover it. A four-year degree needs first class or a very good upper second. A three-year degree needs first class. Birmingham expects 55% to 60% or higher for 2:1 equivalency, depending on the awarding institution. No Amity-specific percentage is published.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0. Equivalents are TOEFL iBT 88 (if taken before January 2026) or PTE Academic 67 with 64 in each skill. An India Standard XII English waiver is possible at 80% (ISC, CBSE, Maharashtra), 75% (West Bengal) or 85% (other state boards).
Accreditation: None stated. It has no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: All seven modules are compulsory for both intakes. ENGL 40850 Creative Industries and the Law (20 credits, 4000-word essay). ENGL 40844 Digital Storytelling (20 credits, quizzes, a short essay and a digital story; the module says the story can use storyboards that 'don’t require specific technical skills'). ENGL 40851 Global Creative Industries (20 credits, 4000-word essay). ENGL 40849 Leadership in the Creative Industries (20 credits, a live-brief group project proposal with partners such as the RSC, plus a 1500-word reflection). ENGL 40852 Marketing in the Creative and Cultural Sector (20 credits, 3000-word essay and a group pitch). ENGL 40853 Multimedia Adaptation (20 credits, 4000-word ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches programming, ML, LLM or NLP. The 2027/28 descriptions were read via both curl and Firecrawl, and the two agree. Digital Storytelling is creative media work and explicitly allows 'storyboards and other ideation strategies that don’t require specific technical skills'. The 'Market Research and Analytics' topic in the Marketing module is about using 'data-driven insights' for decisions, and the module is assessed by an essay and a pitch. All other modules are assessed by essays, a group proposal or a dissertation.

Public Management MSc Non-technical £30,420 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: £30,420 for January 2027 entry and for September 2027 entry. The page publishes one international figure for both intakes. The admissions portal files the January 2027 intake under entry year 2026. A self-funding student living in India who starts in January 2027 gets an automatic £5,000 High Fliers discount by accepting an unconditional offer by 7 December 2026, so the net fee is £25,420.
Length: 12 months full-time for both intakes. The January 2027 intake does taught modules January to April, the dissertation May to August, then taught modules September to December. It ends around December 2027 and does not run longer than 12 months (portal duration '12 Months').
Start and deadline: Yes, there is a January 2027 intake. It is full-time, 12 months, and starts on 18 January 2027. The 11 January 2027 date is the University's general Spring Term start, not this programme's start date. International students who need a visa must apply by 30 October 2026, and the deadline for UK and non-visa applicants is 18 December 2026. The UK fee for January 2027 is £13,500. The international fee is £30,420 for both the September and January starts.
Entry: 2:1 Honours degree or an equivalent professional qualification.
Her bar from Amity: The general India rule applies, because the programme belongs to the School of Government and not the Business School. A three-year Amity degree needs a first class. A four-year degree needs a first class or a very good upper second. Birmingham normally expects 55% to 60% or higher for 2:1 equivalency, depending on the awarding institution. No Amity-specific figure is published.
English: IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0 (Social Sciences row on the International PG entry requirements page). The live course page states no score. Indian Standard XII alternative for the 6.5 tier: 80% ISC, CBSE or Maharashtra, 75% West Bengal, or 85% other state boards.
Accreditation: None stated.
Compulsory modules: All core, no options: Comparative Public Management (20), Public Management and Governance (20), Public Sector Economics (20), Performance, Strategy and Challenge (20), Public Leadership (20), Public Policy and Evidence (20), Dissertation (60, 12,000 words).
Tech evidence: No compulsory module involves coding, ML, LLM or NLP. Public Policy and Evidence (07 29436) is a social science research methods module where 'Quantitative and qualitative research traditions are explored'. It is assessed by 'One x 1,000 word essay (30%) and One x 3,000 word essay (70%)'. Public Sector Economics (08 31279) covers market failure, taxation and budgeting, and is also essay-assessed. Every taught module is assessed by 1,000 word plus 3,000 word coursework (2027/28 handbook).

Sport Business, Management and Leadership MSc Non-technical £29,070 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £29,070 full-time for September 2027 entry (international fee, 'Fees for 2027 entry are above'). There is no January 2027 intake, so no January fee exists.
Length: 1 year full-time (the page says 'This course will run over 12 months in a full-time-mode'); 2 years part-time
Start and deadline: No January 2027 intake. The only start is September 2027 (Welcome week 20 September 2027, Autumn Term from 27 September 2027). Overseas deadlines: apply by 2 July 2027, deposit by 30 July 2027, meet conditions by 30 August 2027, CAS by 3 September 2027.
Entry: 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent) in sport, business or a related subject. Applicants with applied sport business experience who fall below this are considered individually. Prior knowledge of research methods is 'desirable'.
Her bar from Amity: Birmingham publishes no Amity-specific bar. The India page asks for 55 to 60 percent or higher for 2:1 equivalence, 'depending on the awarding institution'. A three-year degree needs first class, and a four-year degree needs first class or a very good upper second. The easier three-year rule is stated only for 'the Business School' MSc programmes. This programme belongs to the School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences, so assume first class for a three-year Amity degree, and confirm with admissions.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with no less than 6.0 in any band (PTE Academic 67 with 64 in all skills). An India Standard XII alternative is accepted at IELTS 6.5 level: 80 percent ISC, CBSE or Maharashtra, 75 percent West Bengal, or 85 percent other state boards.
Accreditation: None. The programme specification says 'This programme has no outside accreditations'. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation. The page only mentions 'input from a triple crown business school', which describes the school, not this programme.
Compulsory modules: All 180 credits are compulsory and there are no options (2027/28 handbook): Dissertation (Sports) 60; Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Sport 30; Leadership Development in Sport 30; Responsibility and Sustainability in Sport 20; Sport Marketing & Brand Management 20; Sport Operation and Management 20. The course page also has generic text saying term two has optional modules, but its own module table and the handbook list none.
Tech evidence: The 2027/28 handbook descriptions of all six compulsory modules contain no programming, coding, ML, AI or NLP. The most numerical content is in Responsibility and Sustainability in Sport (07 41840), with the outcome 'Interpret financial information for the purposes of decision-making'. It is assessed by an individual video presentation (35%) and a reflective coursework assignment (65%). The Dissertation (03 42196) covers 'data gathering, interpretation and data analysis' but allows 'review-based research'. Sport Operation and Management (07 41842) asks students to 'Critically evaluate the impact of digital technologies', which means judging them, not building them. Innovation and ...

Language, Culture and Communication MA Non-technical £29,070 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £29,070 full-time, international, 2027 entry ('Fees for 2027 entry are above'). There is no January start, so no January-start fee applies.
Length: 1 year full-time (12 months, from 27 September 2027, dissertation submitted at the beginning of September 2028); 2 years part-time
Start and deadline: No January or February 2027 intake. The only start is Monday 27 September 2027 (admissions feed for CAL053). Deadline for visa applicants is 2 July 2027.
Entry: 2:1 Honours degree or equivalent in English Language, Media Studies, Journalism, Communication Studies or another relevant subject (e.g. Linguistics, Translation Studies, TEFL/TESL, English Literature). Appropriate work experience is also considered.
Her bar from Amity: Birmingham's India page: a three-year Indian bachelor's needs first class, and a four-year one needs first class or very good upper second. 55% to 60% or higher normally counts as a 2:1, depending on the awarding institution. No Amity-specific list is published. The relevant-subject rule is a separate hurdle if her degree is in business.
English: IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band (PTE Academic 67 with no less than 64 in each skill). The 2026-entry English page also accepts Indian Standard XII at 80% ISC/CBSE/Maharashtra for IELTS 6.5 programmes.
Accreditation: None stated (no CIM, CMI or CIPD).
Compulsory modules: Describing Language (20); Discourse Culture and Intercultural Communication (20); Research Methods in Applied Linguistics (20); Sociolinguistics (20); Dissertation (60). Plus two 20-credit options from: Bilingualism and Multilingualism in the TESOL classroom; Business Discourse and Communication; Corpus Assisted Language Learning; Globalisation and Language Education; Language and New Media; Language, Power and Identity; Using Literature to Teach English Language.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, ML, LLM or NLP (2026/27 and 2027/28 handbook descriptions match). Research Methods in Applied Linguistics covers 'methods of collecting, analysing and presenting data' and asks students to 'present and interpret quantitative and qualitative research data'. It is assessed by an essay and a computer-based exam, and no software or coding is named. Describing Language is linguistic description ('phonology, morphology, grammar, semantics and pragmatics') assessed by essays. Sociolinguistics and the Discourse module are assessed by essays only. The options are non-technical too: Corpus Assisted Language Learning only uses 'CALL software packages' as a user.

International Business MSc Non-technical if she skips some options £33,660 · January 2027 · 1 year

Indian January 2027 starters get an automatic £5,000 High Fliers discount (£28,660 net) if they accept an unconditional offer by 7 December 2026. The default fee box on the page shows UK fees (£17,460 / £18,360), not international.
Length: 1 year full-time for both intakes. January starters take core teaching from January to May and May to July, then a 60-credit dissertation. The January programme spec (786K) says 'Length of Programme 1 Year(s)'. The end date for January starters is not published.
Start and deadline: Yes, the January 2027 intake is open. Visa deadline 30 October 2026, deposit by 7 December 2026, conditions met by 14 December 2026, CAS issued 14 to 18 December 2026.

Entry: 2:1 Honours degree or postgraduate diploma (or overseas equivalent) in any subject. Applicants who exceed the minimum are given preference.

English: IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in any band (PTE Academic 67 with 64 in all skills). India Standard XII alternative for IELTS 6.5 courses: 80% ISC, CBSE or Maharashtra, 75% West Bengal, or 85% other state boards.

September 2027: Dissertation, IB: Trade and Geopolitical Tensions, International Strategy, and Practising and Managing IB, plus one module from each of three sets: Cooperative Strategy or IB Data Analytics; Disruptive Innovation or International Entrepreneurship and Marketing; Global Ops/SCM or Governance.
Tech evidence: All compulsory modules are assessed through reports, case studies, digital artefacts, simulations and presentations, and the dissertation allows '(qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods)'. Avoid the optional IB Data Analytics (41954 January / 37997 September), which 'introduces data science and analytics ... including artificial intelligence, supported by specialist software'. Take Cooperative Strategy in International Business (41952 / 37986) in that slot instead, since it is case-study and project based.

MSc Digital Marketing Recommended Some data or analytics £24,952 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: January 2027 start: £24,952 full-time, the 2026/27 rate, which the page labels 'January 2027 intake tuition fees'. September 2027 start: £25,704 full-time (the 'September 2027/January 2028 intake' table and the 2027/28 schedule). One full-time fee row per intake, with no second-year fee listed for C1D1-DIG. Confirm that the January cohort is not billed again in 2027/28. A competitive Marketing, Recruitment and Admissions Fellowship gives a 30% tuition discount.
Length: Advertised as 1 year (12 months full-time). A January 2027 start follows the January 2027 semester, then the September 2027 semester, then the 60-credit dissertation in the January 2028 semester (teaching 17 January to 7 April 2028, exam diet to 5 May 2028), so it runs about 15 to 16 months, from 11 January 2027 to roughly April or May 2028. No module is scheduled in the May 2027 semester. The exact end date is not published, so confirm with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk.
Start and deadline: Yes. Next intake is January 2027. Welcome week is 11 to 15 January 2027 and teaching runs 18 January to 9 April 2027 (UK calendar; Heriot-Watt warns January-start PGT dates can differ). International applicants must apply at least 6 weeks before teaching starts, which works out to about 7 December 2026. September 2027 fallback: welcome week 6 to 10 September 2027, teaching from 13 September 2027.
Entry: A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in any academic subject provided that it includes evidence of critical thinking. Digital experience may be helpful. Applicants with relevant education and work experience may also be considered.
Her bar from Amity: A bachelor's degree of at least three years with a final average of at least 55% (UK 2:2 equivalent) in any subject. Vocational degrees are not accepted. Heriot-Watt does not rank Indian universities in tiers, so the Amity name and NIRF rank do not change this bar. For English, she can skip IELTS with an MOI letter from Amity if her Class XII English was 68% or more (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board other than NIOS, Punjab or Haryana) within the last 10 years and her English-taught degree was finished within the last 5 years. Amity is not on the MOI-exempt list, so she needs the letter unless her transcript already states it.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall with no score lower than 5.5, and writing at least 6.0. The India Class XII English 68% waiver with an MOI letter is the alternative.
Accreditation: CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing): CIM accredited degree through CIM's Graduate Gateway (exemptions towards CIM qualifications), and a designated CIM Employability Programme (CEP). It is not CMI or CIPD accredited. Edinburgh Business School is an AACSB member and an EFMD Global Member, but it has no AACSB, AMBA or EQUIS accreditation.
Compulsory modules: January 2027: Research Philosophy and Practice (C11BU), Digital Marketing Analytics (C11DA), Social Media Marketing (C11SO), plus one option from Sustainable Marketing (C11SK) or Strategic Project Management (C11SP). September 2027: Branding and Communications (C11MC), Digital Customer Experience (C11DX), Digital Marketing Strategy (C11DJ), plus one option from Management Consultancy (C11BC), International Strategic Marketing (C11IS) or Contemporary Consumer Behaviour (C11CC). January 2028: Applied Digital Marketing Dissertation (C11KD, 60 credits). In total, six compulsory 15-credit modules, two 15-credit options and the dissertation.
Tech evidence: The only analytics-flavoured compulsory module is C11DA Digital Marketing Analytics, and it is at user level: 'evaluate the performance of digital marketing activity using outputs from digital marketing analytics software' and 'interpret outputs from digital marketing analytics software'. Heriot-Watt's Dubai page for the same course says students gain 'industry recognised certification, for example, Google Analytics for Beginners'. No compulsory or optional descriptor mentions programming, SQL, ML, LLM or NLP. It is borderline only under the rubric; in practice this is Google Analytics use, which is on her acceptable list.

#2 MSc Business Strategy, Leadership and Change Non-technical £24,952 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £24,952 full time for a January 2027 start. This is the 2026/27 fee year rate, which the page labelled "September 2026 / January 2027" in April 2026. A September 2027 start costs £25,704 full time. Only one full time fee is listed per intake, and the page does not say whether the 2028 dissertation semester adds any charge.
Length: Advertised as 1 year full time. A September 2027 start runs about 12 months, from Welcome Week on 6 September 2027 to the May semester dissertation, which ends with the August 2028 assessment diet. A January 2027 start runs longer than 12 months. She takes Research Philosophy and Practice plus 3 options from January to April 2027, has no classes over summer 2027, and takes the four core modules from September to December 2027. The Strategy Dissertation then falls in the January 2028 semester (teaching 17 January to 7 April 2028, assessment to 5 May 2028). That makes roughly 15 to 16 months. The exact finish date is not published, so confirm it with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk.
Start and deadline: YES. Arrivals weekend is 9 to 10 January 2027, mandatory induction week is 11 to 15 January 2027, and classes start on 18 January 2027. International applicants should apply at least 6 weeks before teaching starts, so by about 7 December 2026. The January 2027 intake landing page leaves this course out, so confirm the place with admissions.
Entry: "A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in any academic subject provided that it includes evidence of essay writing and use of critical thinking." It is a conversion degree, so no business background is needed.
Her bar from Amity: She needs a three year bachelor's with a final average of at least 55%, which HW treats as a UK 2:2. Vocational degrees are not accepted. There is no university ranking filter for India.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, no band below 5.5, and writing at least 6.0. Amity is not on HW's exempt list. She can use an MOI letter from Amity instead of IELTS if her Class XII English was 68% or more (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board, but not NIOS, Punjab or Haryana) within the last 10 years and her English-taught degree was finished within the last 5 years.
Accreditation: CMI (Chartered Management Institute). Successful students also receive a CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. There is no CIM or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: The compulsory modules are Competitive Strategy, Strategic Innovation Management, Leadership, Strategic Change and Research Philosophy and Practice (15 credits each), plus the Strategy Dissertation (60 credits).

Tech evidence: None of the compulsory module descriptors (Curriculum Explorer 2026/27) mention coding, ML, LLM or NLP.

MSc Human Resource Management Non-technical £24,952 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: January 2027 intake: £24,952 (International, Full Time). September 2027 / January 2028 intake: £25,704. A January 2027 starter pays the January 2027 rate. No extra charge is stated for the dissertation semester.
Length: 1 year full-time ("Duration 1 year"). A January 2027 start runs longer than 12 months. Its dissertation sits in the "Mandatory second January" slot, which is the January 2028 semester (teaching 17 January to 7 April 2028, exam diet 24 April to 5 May 2028). No exact end date is published.
Start and deadline: YES. "Next intake January 2027". Welcome Week is 11 to 15 January 2027 and teaching starts 18 January 2027. Caveat: HW's January 2027 landing page does not list this programme, and January-start PGT dates "diverge from the standard University academic year structure", so she should confirm with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk.
Entry: "A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in a related subject. Suitable degrees often include Business, Economics, Psychology, Sociology or other Social Sciences degree. Non-relevant degrees with evidence of essay writing or critical thinking will also be considered, in conjunction with 2+ years of work experience in HRM."
Her bar from Amity: She needs at least a 55% final average (the UK 2:2 line; 60% equals a 2:1) in a degree of at least three years that is not vocational. The degree must be in a related subject such as business, economics, psychology, sociology or another social science. An unrelated degree needs 2+ years of HRM work, which she does not have. For English, an MOI letter from Amity replaces IELTS if her Class XII English was 68% or more (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board other than NIOS, Punjab or Haryana) within the last 10 years and she graduated within the last 5 years. Amity is not on the MOI-exempt list. Otherwise she needs IELTS 6.0.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall with no score lower than 5.5, except writing, which must be at least 6.0. PTE 63 (writing 63) and TOEFL iBT 79 are also accepted.
Accreditation: CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development). The course is aligned to the CIPD Profession Map, and HW says "Upon successfully completing this programme, you will achieve a CIPD membership outcome". The membership level is not named.
Compulsory modules: All compulsory, with no options in the published structure: Digital Human Resource Management; HR Strategy and Practice; The Legal Context of Work; Organisational Behaviour; Research Philosophy and Practice; Managing Diversity in Business; Employment Trends; Sustainable HRM; Dissertation in HRM (60 credits). A January intake takes the four January courses first, the four September courses next, and the dissertation in the second January.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, ML, LLM or NLP. Digital HRM covers HR technology and analytics only as concepts ("understand analytics and its use in creating insight and measuring value"). The Legal Context of Work uses Westlaw as a database user. Research Philosophy and Practice lets the student design a "qualitative or quantitative" study. The dissertation is applied HR research.

Fee: £21,872 for the January 2027 intake (international, full time, 2026/27 cycle rate). £22,528 for a September 2027 or January 2028 start. One flat fee for the programme.
Length: The page says 1 year full time. A January 2027 start runs about 15 to 16 months, because the dissertation sits in the January 2028 semester (teaching to 7 April 2028, exam diet to 5 May 2028). The exact submission date is not published, so confirm it with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk.
Start and deadline: YES. Next intake is January 2027, with Welcome Week 11 to 15 January 2027 and teaching from 18 January 2027.

Entry: "A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in a relevant subject." The university 'hopes to see' numeracy through statistics or maths and an empirical research project or research methods module. HR work experience is considered, so she should include a CV.
Her bar from Amity: A final average of at least 55% (UK 2:2) from a degree of at least three years in a relevant subject such as business. Vocational degrees are not accepted. Amity is not MOI-exempt, so she needs either an MOI letter (Class XII English at least 68% from CBSE, CISCE or a recognised board within 10 years, and an English-taught degree within 5 years) or IELTS.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall, no component below 5.5, and writing at least 6.0

MSc International Business Management Non-technical £24,952 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: A January 2027 start costs £24,952 for international full-time students (the January 2027 intake table, at the 2026/27 rate). A September 2027 start costs £25,704 (the September 2027/January 2028 intake table). The page lists one fee per intake and shows no extra charge for the 2028 dissertation semester.
Length: The course page says 1 year. A September 2027 start finishes its dissertation in the May 2028 semester, so it takes about 12 months. A January 2027 start runs the January 2027 semester, then the September 2027 semester, then the dissertation in the January 2028 semester (teaching 17 January to 7 April 2028, exams 24 April to 5 May 2028), so it takes roughly 15 to 16 months. The exact dissertation deadline is not published.
Start and deadline: Yes, the next intake is January 2027. On the UK calendar, Welcome Week is 11 to 15 January 2027 and teaching runs 18 January to 9 April 2027. Heriot-Watt warns that January-start PGT dates can differ, so she should confirm with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk. International applicants must apply at least 6 weeks before teaching starts, which means by about 7 December 2026. There is no February start. The September 2027 fallback has Welcome Week on 6 to 10 September 2027.
Entry: A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in any academic subject provided that it includes evidence of essay writing and use of critical thinking.
Her bar from Amity: She needs a bachelor degree of at least three years with a final average of at least 55%, which the India page treats as a UK 2:2. Vocational degrees are not accepted. Amity is not on Heriot-Watt's list of Indian universities exempt from the MOI letter, so she needs IELTS or an MOI letter. The MOI route works if her Class XII English was 68% or more (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board other than NIOS, Punjab or Haryana) within the last 10 years and she finished her English-taught degree within the last 5 years.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with no component below 5.5 and writing at least 6.0. The PTE Academic equivalent is 63, with at least 59 in reading, listening and speaking and 63 in writing.
Accreditation: The programme has no accreditation. Edinburgh Business School is an AACSB member but not yet accredited (its iSER was accepted in February 2026 and it is now in iSER Implementation). It is also an EFMD Global Member. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation. The compulsory HR Strategy and Practice module builds CIPD core knowledge, but the degree does not carry CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: The compulsory modules are Competitive Strategy (C11CS), International Business Context (C11IB), HR Strategy and Practice (C11HP), Research Philosophy and Practice (C11BU), Business Economics (C21BE), International Marketing (C11IM) and a 60-credit Dissertation (C11BM). She also picks Strategic Innovation Management or Finance and Financial Reporting, and Managing Diversity in Business or Sustainable HRM. The page blurb mentions performance management and project management options, but neither appears in the published structure.
Tech evidence: None of the seven compulsory module descriptors (Curriculum Explorer 2026/27) mentions programming, ML, LLM, NLP or any software. Business Economics covers "basic principles and concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics". Research Philosophy and Practice covers qualitative and quantitative research design and a research proposal. Competitive Strategy covers strategy frameworks. All four options are non-technical too.

Year 2 is placements in the May 2028, Sep 2028 and Jan 2029 semesters, finishing around April or May 2029. That is roughly 27 to 28 months, and no exact end date is published. A September 2027 start finishes around August 2029.
Start and deadline: Yes, the next intake is January 2027. Welcome Week is 11 to 15 January 2027 and teaching starts 18 January 2027 (confirm January-start dates with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk). International applicants must apply at least 6 weeks before teaching starts, so by about 7 December 2026.
Entry: Honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in any academic subject that includes evidence of essay writing and critical thinking.
Her bar from Amity: A bachelor degree of at least three years with a final average of at least 55%. Vocational degrees are not accepted, and there is no tiering by university. Amity is not on the MOI-exempt list. She sends an MOI letter if her Class XII English was 68% or more (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board, not NIOS, Punjab or Haryana) within 10 years and she graduated in English within 5 years. Otherwise she needs IELTS.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall with no score below 5.5, except writing, which must be at least 6.0.
Accreditation: None for the programme. Edinburgh Business School is an AACSB full member and EFMD Global Member, not accredited. One compulsory module builds CIPD core knowledge, but the degree is not CIPD-accredited.
Compulsory modules: Competitive Strategy (C11CS), International Business Context (C11IB), HR Strategy and Practice (C11HP), Management Consultancy (C11BC), Research Philosophy and Practice (C11BU), Business Economics (C21BE), International Marketing (C11IM), and the Dissertation, a company project (C11BM, 60 credits).

MSc Intercultural Business Communication Non-technical £21,872 · January 2027 · 16 months from January

Fee: January 2027 start: £21,872 full-time international, from the "January 2027 intake tuition fees" table. The page data calls this table previousTermJanuaryData, meaning the rate used before the September 2027 table applies. January starters can pay it in two instalments in February and March. A September 2027 or January 2028 start costs £22,528. No extra fee is published for the January 2028 dissertation semester.
Length: Listed as 1 year full-time ("Duration 1 year", 120 taught credits plus a 60-credit dissertation). A September 2027 start does the dissertation in the May semester, so it finishes around August 2028. A January 2027 start does the dissertation in the "second January" semester (January 2028). The University calendar shows that semester's teaching from 17 January to 7 April 2028 and its exam diet from 24 April to 5 May 2028, so a January start runs about 15 to 16 months, not 12. Heriot-Watt does not publish the exact end date for January starters.
Start and deadline: Yes. The page says "Next intake January 2027", and the course is on the January 2027 intake list. The University January semester has its welcome week from 11 to 15 January 2027, and teaching starts on 18 January 2027. The calendar warns that January-start postgraduate dates can differ, so confirm with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk. No course deadline is listed, so the general rule applies: international applicants must apply at least 6 weeks before teaching starts, which means by about 7 December 2026.
Entry: A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent. Applicants must have demonstrable evidence of essay writing. Degrees across humanities and social sciences and related disciplines are preferred: Modern Languages, Communication Studies, Culture Studies and Business Management. Non-related degrees with sufficient evidence of essay writing will be considered.
Her bar from Amity: She needs a bachelor's degree of at least three years with a final average of at least 55%. Heriot-Watt's India page treats 55% as a UK 2:2 and 60% as a 2:1, and it sets one rule without ranking Indian universities. She must also show evidence of essay writing. Business Management is on the preferred list, and vocational degrees are not accepted. Amity is not on the list of universities exempt from an MOI letter. For English she therefore needs IELTS, or an MOI letter from Amity if her Class XII English was at least 68% within the last 10 years (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board other than NIOS, Punjab and Haryana) and she graduated within the last 5 years.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall (or equivalent), with no component below 5.5 and writing at least 6.0. Indian applicants can use the Class XII English 68% rule with an MOI letter instead.
Accreditation: The programme has no accreditation, and there is no CIM, CMI or CIPD link. The Accreditation tab lists only department-level ties: membership of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI), official higher education partner of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, and founding member of CIUTI.
Compulsory modules: For a January 2027 start the compulsory modules are as follows. January 2027: C41BD Business Communication 2: Communicating with External Audiences, C41GC Global Englishes and the International Workplace, and C41RM Research Methods. September 2027: C40CS Comparative Social and Cultural Issues, C41BC Business Communication 1: Communication in the Workplace, and C41CW Intercultural Communication in the Workplace. January 2028: C41DB Dissertation in Intercultural Business Communication (60 credits). She also selects 2 optional courses. The January choices are C91DA Discourse Analysis or C91LS Psychology of Leadership, and the September choices are C91SO Social and Organisational Change or ...
Tech evidence: Every compulsory module description covers communication, culture or research design. C41RM teaches "text- and participants-oriented methods". C41BC and C41BD teach business writing for internal and external audiences, C41GC covers Global Englishes, and the C41DB dissertation builds "discursive and analytical" skills. No programming, statistics, software, ML or NLP appears in any compulsory or optional module description. The C91DA option is "the qualitative approach of discourse analysis".

MSc Digital Marketing with Advanced Practice Some data or analytics £25,704 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: September 2027 start: £25,704 for Year 1 plus £3,000 for the Year 2 placement ("Fees are payable for each year"), so £28,704 in total. January 2027 start: no fee is published for this course. The sister MSc Digital Marketing and IBM with Advanced Practice pages charge £24,952 for a January 2027 start, but this page gives no January figure. A competitive Marketing, Recruitment and Admissions Fellowship offers a 30% tuition discount.
Length: 2 years full time in Edinburgh. Year 1 is taught across the September, January and May semesters, with the dissertation in May. Year 2 is a year-long industry placement. The student moves to Year 2 only "if the first year is completed at an appropriate level". For a September 2027 start, Welcome Week is 6 to 10 September 2027 and teaching starts 13 September 2027 (UK campus session dates PDF). No January study plan is published for this course, so the length of a January start is unverified. The sister IBM with Advanced Practice January plan runs from January 2027 to the January 2029 semester.
Start and deadline: Unclear. Heriot-Watt advertises it ("Now open for January entry", and it is listed on the January 2027 intake page). But the course page says "Start date September" and publishes no January fee or January study plan, while its sister programmes publish both. If it does run, the standard January semester has Welcome Week 11 to 15 January 2027 and teaching from 18 January 2027, though HW says January-start PGT dates can differ. Get written confirmation from PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk before planning for January.
Entry: Honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in any academic subject that shows critical thinking. Applicants with relevant education and work experience may also be considered.
Her bar from Amity: A bachelor's degree of three or more years with a final average of at least 55% (HW treats this as a UK 2:2 for India; 60% counts as a 2:1). Vocational degrees are not accepted. English: IELTS, or an MOI letter from Amity if Class XII English (CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board other than NIOS, Punjab or Haryana) was 68% or more within the last 10 years and the degree was finished within the last 5 years. Amity is not on HW's list of universities that do not need an MOI letter.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall with no score below 5.5, and writing at least 6.0.
Accreditation: CIM: the degree is CIM accredited and is a designated CIM Employability Programme (CEP). Heriot-Watt appears on CIM's own list of accredited-degree universities. Edinburgh Business School is a member of AACSB and EFMD, not accredited by AACSB, AMBA or EQUIS.
Compulsory modules: Year 1: Branding and Communications (C11MC), Digital Customer Experience (C11DX), Digital Marketing Strategy (C11DJ), Management Consultancy (C11BC), Research Philosophy and Practice (C11BU), Digital Marketing Analytics (C11DA), Social Media Marketing (C11SO), Applied Digital Marketing Dissertation (C11KD, 60 credits), plus one option: Sustainable Marketing (C11SK) or Strategic Project Management (C11SP). Year 2: Industry Placement 1, 2 and 3 (C11AP, C11AQ, C11AR, 20 credits each).
Tech evidence: The only analytics module is compulsory C11DA, which works with the outputs of analytics software as a user: "evaluate the performance of digital marketing activity using outputs from digital marketing analytics software" and "interpret outputs from digital marketing analytics software". No compulsory descriptor mentions programming, Python, R, SQL, machine learning, LLM or NLP. Research Philosophy and Practice covers qualitative and quantitative approaches in general terms.

Fee: For a January 2027 start, the international full-time fee is £24,952 (table "January 2027 intake tuition fees"). This is the 2026/27 fee level. For a September 2027 or January 2028 start, the fee is £25,704 (table "September 2027 / January 2028 intake tuition fees"). The page says "Tuition fees are subject to revision each year." No extra charge is published for the longer January route.
Length: The course is advertised as one year full time ("Duration 1 year"). A January 2027 start takes longer, about 15 to 16 months. The 60-credit dissertation (C11PH) falls in the January 2028 semester, where teaching runs 17 January to 7 April 2028 and the exam diet runs 24 April to 5 May 2028. No modules run from May to August 2027. The exact end date is not published, so she should ask PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk before applying for her visa. A September 2027 start takes about 12 months. Welcome week is 6 to 10 September 2027, and the dissertation runs in the May 2028 semester (8 May to 28 July 2028).
Start and deadline: Yes, January 2027 is open. The course page says "Next intake January 2027", and the course is listed on the January 2027 intake page. The UK calendar gives welcome week as 11 to 15 January 2027, with teaching from 18 January 2027. Heriot-Watt warns that January-start postgraduate dates can differ from the standard calendar, so she should confirm the date with PGadmissions@hw.ac.uk. International applicants must apply at least 6 weeks before teaching begins, which means by about 7 December 2026.
Entry: "A minimum of honours degree at 2:2 or non-UK equivalent in any academic subject provided that it includes evidence of essay writing and use of critical thinking."
Her bar from Amity: She needs a bachelor's degree of at least three years with a final average of at least 55%. Heriot-Watt's India page treats 55% as a UK 2:2 and 60% as a 2:1. Vocational degrees are not accepted, and General degrees are accepted only for some programmes. Amity is not on the list of universities exempt from the Medium of Instruction letter. For English she therefore needs IELTS or an MOI letter from Amity. The MOI letter route works only if her Class XII English was 68% or more within the last 10 years and she graduated within the last 5 years. Her Class XII board must be CBSE, CISCE or a recognised state board, but not NIOS, Punjab or Haryana.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall (or equivalent) with no score lower than 5.5. Writing must be at least 6.0.
Accreditation: The course is accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI) Global Accreditation Center for Project Management Education Programs (GAC). The GAC directory lists it under its former name, MSc Strategic Project Management, and the old Heriot-Watt URL for that name now redirects to this course. The directory shows status Accredited, first granted May 2019, last reaffirmed May 2023, next review May 2028. Heriot-Watt is also an APM Corporate Affiliate and gives students free APM membership, but that is an affiliation, not accreditation. No CMI, CIM or CIPD accreditation is mentioned.
Compulsory modules: There are six compulsory taught modules of 15 credits each and a 60-credit dissertation. For a January 2027 start, she takes Research Philosophy and Practice (C11BU), Strategic Project Management (C11SP) and Systems Thinking and Analysis (C11SL) in January 2027. She adds one option from Quality Management (C11ME) or Managing Diversity in Business (C11DB). In September 2027 she takes Project Management (C11PA), Leadership (C11LD) and Strategic Change (C11SH). She adds one option from Business Analytics and Introduction to Big Data (C11BA), Management Consultancy (C11BC) or Strategic Innovation Management (C11IV). In January 2028 she does the Project Management Dissertation (C11PH).
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, machine learning, LLMs or NLP. The compulsory Project Management module (C11PA) is quantitative in flavour. Its aims include "To develop competence in using a generic set of quantitative and qualitative project planning and control tools and techniques" and "To provide basic training in a project scheduling software package", which is software she would only use, not build. The course page also mentions "quantitative techniques for cost, quality and risk management". Research Philosophy and Practice (C11BU) covers quantitative research only at the level of study design. Systems Thinking (C11SL) asks students to "Create a qualitative model of a business ...

University of Dundee

Dundee, Scotland

Times 20, Guardian 21, Complete University Guide 25, Times Higher Education 34

A small, affordable Scottish city, and stronger in the league tables than its name suggests. The business school is AACSB accredited and offers four CIM-accredited marketing masters with January starts, none with a technical compulsory module. The January intake asks only 40 to 49 percent from an Indian degree, far below the September intake's 60 to 79 percent.

The January 2027 international deadline is 17 November 2026.
The September intake needs 60 to 79 percent, so January is the realistic door.
Smaller job market than Edinburgh or London.
The "86% in a job within six months" figure on Dundee's pages is an average for AACSB schools, not Dundee's own result.

Outside-London rate. For an application from 30 November 2026 she must show £10,827 (£1,203 a month for 9 months), plus the £558 visa fee and the health surcharge (£1,164 for a 12-month course).

Management and international business 4

Management MSc Non-technical £23,700 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: The fee for India is £23,700 per year of study, the same for the January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028 intakes, so it is about £23,700 in total. The fee tables are labelled by intake only, not by academic year, although the calendar places January 2027 in Semester 2 of 2026/27. She can get one scholarship only: the Vice Chancellor's South Asia Postgraduate Scholarship of £6,500, or the Global Excellence Scholarship of £8,000 for a first-class equivalent (85 to 100% in India, or 65 to 100% from a Tier 1 institution).
Length: The course is 12 months full time for every intake (January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028), so a January start does not run longer. The Management Project Report runs from the end of May to early August.
Start and deadline: Yes, there is a January 2027 intake. The international deadline is 17 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time, and the page warns that courses may close early if places fill. Welcome week is 11 to 17 January 2027 and teaching starts on Monday 18 January 2027. For the September 2027 fallback, the deadline is 6 August 2027, welcome week is 13 to 19 September 2027 and teaching starts on 20 September 2027.
Entry: She needs an Indian bachelor's degree (BA, BSc, BCom or a professional degree) with 40 to 49%, whether or not the university is Tier 1. The degree can be in any subject that has built analytical and quantitative skills.
Her bar from Amity: She needs 40 to 49% in her Amity bachelor's. Tier 1 status does not change the bar for this course.
English: She needs IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with 6.0 in Writing and 5.5 in Listening, Reading and Speaking.
Accreditation: The course is accredited to the CMI Level 7 Certificate in Management and Leadership (dependent on modules taken), and the School of Business is AACSB accredited. There is no CIM or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: The core modules are Operations Management and Change (BU51008), Managing People and Organisations (BU51024), Cross-Cultural Management (BU51027), Moving Up to Business (BU51033, pass or fail and not counted in the degree class), Marketing Management and Strategy (BU52008), Strategic Management & Organisational Analysis (BU52031), Stakeholder Management and Business Ethics (BU52034) and Management Project Report (BU53003). She also chooses one or more options from Specialist Management English for Business 1 and 2, Corporate Governance, Project Management Processes and Managing the Multinational Enterprise.
Tech evidence: No core or optional module mentions coding, Python, R, SQL, machine learning or building AI. The core modules are assessed through essays, reports, presentations and case studies. The only number work is one descriptive statistics part of Moving Up to Business. It is a pass or fail online quiz with a 40% pass mark and repeat attempts. Students only need to pass 1 of its 3 common parts, and the module does not count towards the degree class.

Management, Strategy and Leadership MSc Non-technical £23,700 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: £23,700 per year of study for India. The page shows the same fee under the January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028 intake headings. Fees are labelled by intake, not by academic year, so a January 2027 start pays £23,700. Only one scholarship can be held: the £6,500 Vice Chancellor's South Asia scholarship, or the £8,000 Global Excellence scholarship for a 1st class degree. The scholarship labels say '(January 2027)' even in the September 2027 table.
Length: 12 months full time at Dundee City Campus. The course page gives 12 months for the January 2027 start, so a January start does not run longer.
Start and deadline: Yes. The international deadline is 17 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time. Welcome week runs 11 to 17 January 2027 and teaching starts on Monday 18 January 2027. These are the university's semester 2 dates; the course page itself only says 'January 2027'. The fallback is September 2027 (deadline 6 August 2027), and there is also a January 2028 intake (deadline 17 November 2027).
Entry: For India, a Bachelor of Arts, Science or Commerce, or a professional degree, needs 40-49%. The figure is the same for Tier 1 and other institutions in every intake. The page also says: 'Your degree should be in any subject which has enabled you to develop analytical and quantitative skills'. Dundee's India country page sends applicants to this per-course finder.
Her bar from Amity: 40-49%. The Tier 1 and non-Tier 1 rows are identical, so it does not matter whether Amity counts as Tier 1.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with 6.0 in Writing and 5.5 in Listening, Reading and Speaking. TOEFL iBT 80 and PTE Academic UKVI 64 are also accepted.
Accreditation: CMI (Chartered Management Institute) Level 7 Certificate in Management and Leadership, 'dependent on modules taken'. The business school is AACSB accredited. There is no CIM or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Eight core modules of 20 credits each: BU51008 Operations Management and Change (presentation and report); BU51016 International Business Strategy (two essays); BU51024 Managing People and Organisations (group work and essay); BU51033 Moving Up to Business (pass/fail induction quizzes); BU52008 Marketing Management and Strategy (marketing plan and report); BU52031 Strategic Management and Organisational Analysis (two case study reports); BU52033 Leadership and Decision Making (group project and essay); BU53003 Management Project Report (a 4,000 to 6,000 word report, written as a literature review, a consultancy project or an internship). The options are Cross-Cultural Management (BU51027), ...
Tech evidence: I read all eight core module pages. Each one is assessed by essays, reports, case studies, group work or a marketing plan, and none has a final exam. None mentions programming, software, ML, AI or NLP. BU52031 says: 'You don't need any prior knowledge of accounting, marketing, or economics.' The only numeric content is one of the five components of BU51033 ('Managing and Presenting Data ... descriptive statistics'). It is a pass/fail online quiz with a 40% pass mark and multiple attempts. Students only need to pass 1 of the 3 common components, and the module does not count towards the degree classification.

Corporate Finance runs 'workshop sessions going over computational questions' on bond and equity valuation and CAPM. Global Risk Analysis covers 'models of foreign exchange rate determination' and currency risk products. The optional Quantitative Methods module uses SPSS, which is point-and-click.

Management and International Human Resource Management MSc Some data or analytics £23,700 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: £23,700 per year of study for India (international), the same for the January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028 intakes. It is a 12 month course, so total tuition is £23,700. Fees are listed by intake, not by academic year. The January 2027 scholarship documents are the 2026-27 set. A January starter pays the 'annual tuition fee' in 7 monthly payments from mid-February to mid-August after a £5,000 deposit. International fees can rise each year by at most 5% or CPI, but that only matters for later years of study. Only one scholarship can be held. Option 1 is the Vice Chancellor's South Asia PG Scholarship (£6,500). India qualifies, the course fee is above the £22,250 threshold and there ...
Length: 12 months full time at Dundee City Campus. The course page shows 'Duration 12 months' for the January 2027 intake, so a January start does not run longer. The page only shows the intake you select, so the September 2027 duration was not shown separately.
Start and deadline: Yes, the course takes January 2027 entrants. The international deadline is 17 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time. Welcome week runs 11 to 17 January 2027, and teaching starts Monday 18 January 2027. As a fallback, the September 2027 deadline is 6 August 2027, with welcome week 13 to 19 September 2027 and teaching from 20 September 2027.
Entry: For an Indian Bachelor Degree (professional subjects) or a BA, BSc or BCom: 40-49%. The Tier 1 rows give the same figure. The degree can be 'in any subject which has enabled you to develop analytical and quantitative skills'. The UK equivalent is third-class Honours or above.
Her bar from Amity: 40-49% overall, whether or not Amity counts as Tier 1. Tier status only changes the Global Excellence scholarship bar (65% for Tier 1, 85% otherwise). Dundee's pages do not say which Indian universities are Tier 1.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with Writing 6.0 and Listening, Reading and Speaking each 5.5. Alternatives are TOEFL iBT 80 or PTE Academic UKVI 64.
Accreditation: CIPD-accredited pathway: 'students registering from September 2024 onwards will gain CIPD Associate Membership'. It is also accredited to the CMI Level 7 Certificate in Management and Leadership, but only depending on modules taken. The business school is AACSB accredited. There is no CIM accreditation.
Compulsory modules: All core, 20 credits each: BU51008 Operations Management and Change; BU51018 Human Resource Management Strategies; BU51024 Managing People and Organisations; BU51033 Moving Up to Business (pass/fail, does not count toward degree class); BU52008 Marketing Management and Strategy; BU52021 International Human Resource Management; BU52024 Behavioural Insights for Managers; BU52031 Strategic Management & Organisational Analysis; BU52034 Stakeholder Management and Business Ethics; BU53003 Management Project Report (summer; literature, consultancy or internship report of 4,000 to 6,000 words). The only optional modules are the English support modules BU11006 and BU12007.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, ML, LLM, NLP or building technology. The borderline comes from two modules. BU52024 Behavioural Insights for Managers is an economics-of-HR module that uses 'economic techniques' and 'analytical techniques to structure problems', and it ends with a 60% written exam. BU51033 has a pass/fail 'Managing and Presenting Data' quiz on descriptive statistics (40% pass mark, multiple attempts, and only 1 of the 3 common components has to be passed). Smaller analytics touches: BU51018 has one teaching week on 'HR Metrics and Analytics', and BU52021 asks students to 'interpret numerical and graphical data'. Every other core module is assessed by essays, reports, ...

Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Management MSc Non-technical £23,700 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: £23,700 per year of study for India. This is the same for the January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028 intakes. Fees are labelled by intake, and January 2027 entry is Semester 2 of academic year 2026/27. Only one scholarship can be held. For January 2027 there are two options. The first is the Vice Chancellor's South Asia scholarship of £6,500, which is automatic, open to India, needs a fee of £22,250 or more, and closes 31 January 2027. The second is the Global Excellence scholarship of £8,000, which needs a first-class equivalent: 85% or more for India, or 65% or more from a Tier 1 institution. For September 2027 the scholarships page lists only £2,000 (South Asia) or £3,000 (Global ...
Length: 12 months full time. For the January 2027 start the page says 'Duration 12 months'. Welcome week is 11 to 17 January 2027 and teaching starts 18 January 2027. The project report runs from end May to early August, and the Semester 1 modules run from September to December 2027.
Start and deadline: Yes. There is a January 2027 intake. The international deadline is 17 November 2026 at 23:59 UK time. Welcome week is 11 to 17 January 2027, and teaching starts Monday 18 January 2027. The September 2027 fallback deadline is 6 August 2027.
Entry: India Bachelor of Arts / Science / Commerce, or Bachelor Degree in professional subjects: 40-49%. This is the same for Tier 1 and non-Tier 1 institutions. The page adds: 'Your degree should be in any subject which has enabled you to develop analytical and quantitative skills'.
Her bar from Amity: 40-49%. Whether Amity counts as Tier 1 does not matter, because both rows ask for 40-49%.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with Writing 6.0 and Listening, Reading and Speaking at 5.5. Alternatives are TOEFL iBT 80 or PTE Academic UKVI 64.
Accreditation: CMI Level 7 Certificate in Management and Leadership (*dependent on modules taken), plus AACSB at school level. There is no CIM or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: The published core modules are each 20 credits. They are BU51008 Operations Management and Change (Semester 1), BU51024 Managing People and Organisations (Semester 2), BU52008 Marketing Management and Strategy (Semester 2), BU52031 Strategic Management & Organisational Analysis (Semester 1), BU52040 Practicing Entrepreneurship: Starting your business (Semester 2) and BU53003 Management Project Report (summer). That makes 120 credits. The only options are two 10-credit English support modules (BU11006 and BU12007). About 60 credits of the 180-credit MSc are not published.
Tech evidence: All six published core modules are non-technical when judged by their full module pages. They are assessed by reports, essays, case studies, a marketing plan, an elevator pitch and a reflection. BU52031 includes a role-play strategy simulation. BU53003 offers a literature report, a consultancy report or an 8-week Pagoda internship, assessed by a 4,000 to 6,000 word report. None mentions coding, ML, LLM or NLP. One caveat: only 120 of 180 credits are published. In the parent Management MSc the other core modules are BU51027 Cross-Cultural Management, BU51033 Moving Up to Business and BU52034 Stakeholder Management and Business Ethics, but none of these is listed for this pathway.

Management with Healthcare Leadership MSc Some data or analytics £19,900 · No January start · 12 months

Fee: £19,900 per year for September 2027 (India row: '£19900 GBP per year of study'). Regional and Global Excellence scholarships are 'Not available' for India. There is no January intake, so there is no January fee.
Length: 12 months full time, Dundee City Campus ('Duration 12 months').
Start and deadline: No. The only intake is September 2027. The international deadline is '6 August 2027 at 23:59 (UK time)'.
Entry: India Bachelor of Arts / Science / Commerce or professional degree: 60-79%. The Tier 1 Institution rows need 55-60%. The degree should be in 'any subject which has enabled you to develop analytical and quantitative skills'.
Her bar from Amity: 60% or above. The Tier 1 rows allow 55%, but Dundee's India page does not say which universities count as Tier 1, so the 55% bar should not be assumed for Amity without asking the enquiry team.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, Writing 6.0, Listening 5.5, Reading 5.5, Speaking 5.5 (PTE 64 overall, TOEFL iBT 80).
Accreditation: CMI-accredited degree (the management body, not CIM or CIPD), and the School holds AACSB accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Nine compulsory modules of 20 credits each: BU51008 Operations Management and Change; BU51024 Managing People and Organisations; BU51027 Cross-Cultural Management; BU52008 Marketing Management and Strategy; BU52031 Strategic Management & Organisational Analysis; BU52034 Stakeholder Management and Business Ethics; BU53003 Management Project Report; PN50211 Leadership in Healthcare Organisations; PN50213 Quality Improvement in Action. The only options are the English support modules BU11006 and BU12007. The overview page lists a different set of four healthcare modules, so the two pages disagree.
Tech evidence: BORDERLINE. The Teaching and assessment page lists Quality Improvement in Action (PN50213) under "Core Modules: These modules are an essential part of your course". That module teaches measurement with run charts and statistical process control (SPC) charts, alongside Lean and Six Sigma. No coding, programming or ML is stated anywhere. It is assessed by 2,000 words of coursework with no exam. The other eight core modules (BU51008, BU51024, BU51027, BU52008, BU52031, BU52034, BU53003, PN50211) are non-technical. BU51008 only asks students to "practise selecting and applying appropriate analytical tools" and is assessed by a group presentation (30%) and an individual report (70%), so it has ...

Options include HRM Strategies, International HRM, Cross-Cultural Management, Leadership and Decision Making, ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module states coding, ML, LLM or NLP. Two compulsory modules have a quantitative side. BU51019 International Business Finance covers exchange rates, portfolio management and 'foreign currency derivatives: Futures, Options and Swaps', with a 50% final exam. BU51033 includes a 'Managing and Presenting Data' descriptive-statistics component, but it is pass/fail by online quiz with a 40% pass mark and multiple attempts, and only 1 of the 3 common components must be passed. She should avoid the optional Business Analytics BU52018 ('statistical methods ... quantitative skills to use data'); plenty of non-technical options exist.

Tech evidence: The course text says it 'involves seven months of taught modules including Research Methods, Qualitative Methods in Social Research, Quantitative/Econometric Methods'. Only Quantitative Methods ('introducing the SPSS software') and Econometrics ('estimating and interpreting economic models') are offered as degree-credit options, so one quantitative module looks unavoidable. She would pick Quantitative Methods (SPSS, point-and-click). BU52015 covers 'the principal research methods employed in accounting and finance' and is assessed by 'Research Proposal (100%)'. No coding is stated.

Loughborough University

London campus

Best ranked, with care

Complete University Guide 8, Guardian 9, Times 13, Times Higher Education 34

The highest-ranked university on the list, though not Russell Group. Digital Marketing (counsellor's #8) is taught at the London campus and starts 1 February 2027 at £21,300, a fee that already includes a £5,000 award.

A compulsory module covers text analytics, facial expression analysis and statistical tools, and she must avoid six technical optional modules.
The Digital Marketing page does not show CIM accreditation. The CIM-accredited MSc Marketing is on the main campus and starts September 2027 only, at £27,000.
IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 in every band.
London living costs.

London rate. For an application from 30 November 2026 she must show £14,130 (£1,570 a month for 9 months), plus the £558 visa fee and the health surcharge (£1,164 for a 12-month course).

Marketing 3

Marketing MSc Recommended Non-technical £27,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: September 2027 only: 'Fees for 2027-28 (per academic year) ... International: £27,000'. There is no January 2027 intake: it is not on the January 2027 list, and the deadlines page says 'Programmes starting 1 February 2027 (London campus only)'. curl and Firecrawl agree. The London anniversary award does not apply here because the course is not on the London campus.
Length: 1 year full time ('Full-time 1 year'). Programme spec BSPT13 says 'Programme length 1 Year' and 'Campus Loughborough'. There is no part-time or January option.
Start and deadline: September 2027 only ('Programmes starting 20 September 2027 (Loughborough and London campuses)'). International: apply by '23 August 2027', accept by '30 August 2027', CAS deposit by '23 August 2027', CAS 'Up to 3 September 2027' for an overseas visa, register by '11 October 2027'.
Entry: Headline: 'Entry requirements 2:2 (55%)'. Full text: 'A good honours degree typically in a non-business field though those with a business background will be considered.'
Her bar from Amity: Loughborough publishes no Indian equivalent for its 55% bar. Its India table gives NIRF-listed graduates 50% for a 2:2 (UK 50%) and 55% for a 2:1 (UK 60%). So 55% or more from Amity Noida clears the bar, while 50 to 54% needs confirmation from admissions.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element, the University standard for all PGT courses. The same approved alternatives apply, including CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% within ten years.
Accreditation: CIM Accredited Degree. Programme spec BSPT13: 'Accreditation: Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) - Level 4 Certificate or Level 6 Diploma in Marketing and module accreditation with Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR)'. Page: 'This programme has been awarded Accredited Degree status by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)', with exemptions that extend 'for up to five years after graduation'. CIM's own lookup lists 'MSc Marketing' with exemptions toward the CIM Foundation Certificate, Certificate and Diploma. Loughborough Business School holds 'triple-accreditation with AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA'.
Compulsory modules: Semester 1: Marketing in the Organisation, Customer Insights, Brand Management, Research Methods and Metrics for Marketing, and Responsible Marketing (runs over Semesters 1 and 2). Semester 2: Digital Marketing, Marketing Communications (50% group presentation plus a 50% in-person exam of '1.5 Hours'), and Strategic Marketing Management in a Changing World. Choose one of Small Business & Entrepreneurship ('2 Hours' exam), Global Marketing ('2 Hours' exam) or Public Relations (report plus presentation). Summer: Industry Experience Project (45 credits, a group consultancy: proposal 15%, 6,000-word group report 45%, 2,000-word reflection 40%). All modules are 15 credits unless stated.
Tech evidence: No module spec names a programming language, coding or building technology. The analytics is user-level only. Research Methods and Metrics for Marketing (26BSP065) covers 'Basic data analysis and interpretation' and 'How to use marketing metrics to evaluate the performance of a communication/advertising campaign'. It is assessed by 'One individual case study report (100%) of using marketing metrics to evaluate a given campaign (3,000 words)'. Customer Insights (26BSP049) lists 'Data analytics and data-driven methods of customer analysis' and 'Metrics and Marketing Dashboards', and is assessed by 'One individual piece of coursework (3,000 words)'.

#8 Digital Marketing MSc Recommended Some data or analytics £21,300 · Starts Feb 2027 · 1 year

Fee: January 2027 intake (actually starts 1 February 2027): '£21,300*' under 'Fees for the 2026-27 academic year', with '*The International fee for this programme in January 2027 includes a £5,000 London 10th Anniversary Award.' The award page says '£5,000 off tuition fees which is already reflected on each London course webpage. Please note that offer letters will display full fees, but the scholarship will be applied automatically'. So it is not deducted again. September 2027: '£27,000' under 'Fees for the 2027-28 academic year'. Page note: 'Fees for the 2026-27 academic year apply to courses starting in January 2027. Fees for the 2027-28 academic year apply to courses starting in September ...
Length: 1 year full time. Page: 'Full-time 1 year', 'Part-time Up to 4 years', 'You can choose to start this degree in January (full-time only) or September (full-time and part-time).' The programme spec for the February start (LLPTJ3, 'MSc Digital Marketing February start, Running in Academic Year 2026/27') says 'Programme length 1 Year', the same as the September spec LLPT09. The February cohort's end date is not published.
Start and deadline: Starts 1 February 2027: 'Programmes starting 1 February 2027 (London campus only)'. International deadlines: new applications by '14 December 2026' ('must include all necessary supporting documents'), accept offer and upload documents by '18 December 2026', CAS deposit by '4 January 2027', CAS issued by '8 January 2027', latest registration '22 February 2027'.

Entry: 'A 2:2 honours degree (50% in final year), or equivalent international qualification, in any subject area.'
Her bar from Amity: 50% for the 2:2. Loughborough's India table, identical on the course page, the international PG page and the India country page: 'Institutions listed on the National Institutional Ranking Framework' 61% / 55% / 50% for First / 2:1 / 2:2, and 'All other Indian institutions' 68% / 62% / 57%. Amity Noida is NIRF listed: NIRF 2025 shows 'Amity University, Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh' at University rank 22 (score 59.68), Overall rank 37 (57.49) and Management rank 49 (54.15).
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element. The English page says 'The standard University IELTS English language requirement is 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each individual element' and 'For postgraduate taught degree courses, all Schools/Departments require the University standard IELTS or equivalent English Language qualification with the exception of MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology'. Its approved list includes 'CBSE – All India Senior School Certificate Examination 75%' and ISC Class XII 75%, taken within ten years. 'We do not accept Medium of Instruction (MOI) letters'.
Accreditation: None stated. The course page has no mention of CIM (0 matches by curl, and the London microsite URL redirects to the same page). Programme specs LLPTJ3 and LLPT09 have no accreditation field. CIM's own accredited-degree lookup for Loughborough University lists only 'BSc Hons Marketing', 'BSc Marketing and Management' and 'MSc Marketing'.
Compulsory modules: Compulsory, 105 credits: Strategic Marketing and Management (15, Semester 1), Grand Challenges (15, Semester 1), Digital Technologies for Market Analysis (15, Semester 2), Dissertation (60, Semesters 2 and 3; 'Research Proposal 20% 1500 Words' plus 'Dissertation 80% 10000 Words'). Then one 15-credit module from each of five groups. Group 1: Programming Fundamentals or Digital Media Audiences and Markets. Group 2: Experience Design with Digital Technologies, Principles of AI and Data Analytics, or Strategy and Market Analysis. Group 3: Digital Practices for Customer Engagement or Human-Computer Interaction. Group 4: International Marketing, Immersive Experiences and Creative Technologies, AI ...
Tech evidence: BORDERLINE because a compulsory module is analytics-flavoured, and she must also avoid technical options. Digital Technologies for Market Analysis (26LLP123, compulsory): its content includes 'Advanced data analytics for market research: Media analytics, text analytics, facial expression analysis big data analytics' and the outcome 'Critically select and apply appropriate statistical and mathematical tools to gain insights from collected data'. Assessment is 'Coursework Weighting 100%': 'Research Project Portfolio 100 Portfolio 2000 Words' (group), made of 'four summaries of 2,000 words plus a poster of a mini-market research project, that includes effective usage of one of market research ...

Sport Marketing MSc Some data or analytics £27,800 · Starts Feb 2027 · 1 year

Fee: A January 2027 start pays the 2026-27 fee: £27,800 a year for international students. That figure is already net of the automatic £5,000 London 10th Anniversary Award, so the offer letter will show the full fee of £32,800. The award cannot be combined with other awards except the Alumni Bursary. A September 2027 start pays the 2027-28 fee: £33,000.
Length: 1 year full-time. The January intake is full-time only, and part-time study (up to 4 years) starts in September only. The February-start spec LLPTL2 says 'Programme length 1 Year'. No source shows a February start running past 12 months, but the cohort's exact end date is not published.
Start and deadline: Yes, full-time only. The programme starts 1 February 2027 at the London campus. International deadlines: apply by 14 December 2026, accept the offer by 18 December 2026, pay the CAS deposit by 4 January 2027, CAS issued by 8 January 2027, latest registration 22 February 2027. A September 2027 start is also offered.
Entry: A 2:1 honours degree (with a minimum of 60% in final year), or equivalent international qualification, in a wide range of disciplines. Applicants with a 2:2 honours degree will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall, the 2:1 equivalent for institutions listed on NIRF (Amity is listed). Between 50% and 54% (the 2:2 equivalent) is case by case. The India table states no final-year condition.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element. The test must be no more than two years old at the start of the course. CBSE or ISC Class XII at 75% is listed as an accepted English qualification if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None. The course page names no accrediting body, and both programme specs flag ACCRED = N. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Sport Marketing; Sport Business Statistics and Analytics; Grand Challenges; Contemporary Sport Business; New Media and Analytics for Sport Business; Strategic Sports Sponsorship; Sport Public Relations and Communication; Dissertation (60 credits). She also picks one option: Collaborative Project or Sport Integrity (both non-technical).
Tech evidence: Two compulsory modules are quantitative or analytics-based. Sport Business Statistics and Analytics (LLP315) covers 'how statistical analysis and data visualisation assist in identifying sport business trends and solutions'. New Media and Analytics for Sport Business (LLP312) 'will use analytics to study a wide variety of issues affecting the sport industry'. No official text mentions coding, ML, LLM or NLP.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management MSc Non-technical £25,900 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: A January (1 February) 2027 start pays the 2026-27 fee of £25,900. This is after the automatic £5,000 London 10th Anniversary Award, so the offer letter will show the full £30,900. A September 2027 start pays the 2027-28 fee of £27,000, with no award. Scholarships and awards cannot be combined, and the higher one applies.
Length: The course is 1 year full-time. The February-start spec LLPTJ8 says 'Programme length 1 Year', so the cohort starts on 1 February 2027 and should finish around the end of January 2028, though the exact end date is not published. Only full-time study is advertised.
Start and deadline: Yes. The course page says 'January 2027 or September 2027', and teaching starts on 1 February 2027 at the London campus. International applicants must apply by 14 December 2026, accept the offer by 18 December 2026, pay the CAS deposit by 4 January 2027 and receive the CAS by 8 January 2027. The latest registration date is 22 February 2027. The September 2027 start is on 20 September 2027, and international applications close on 23 August 2027.
Entry: A 2:2 honours degree (55% in final year), or an equivalent international qualification, in any subject area. The key facts show '2:2+'.
Her bar from Amity: Amity is NIRF-listed, so 50% overall is the published 2:2 equivalent (55% is a 2:1 and 61% is a First). The UK rule of '55% in final year' has no published Indian equivalent, so 55% or more overall is the safe target. No CGPA conversion is published.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element, from a test no more than two years old at the course start. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75%, taken within ten years, is accepted instead. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None is stated. The course page names no AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB, CMI, CIM or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: The compulsory modules are Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Market Analysis, Grand Challenges, Collaborative Project, Research Methods and Dissertation (60 credits). The other modules are 15 credits each. She also picks one of New Venture Creation or Intellectual property, and one of Funding or Family Businesses.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module description mentions coding, ML, LLM or NLP. Research Methods gives 'working knowledge of typical quantitative and qualitative research methods'. Collaborative Project uses 'creativity, critical enquiry and appropriate tools'. Strategy and Market Analysis is about companies' 'positioning in their competitive environment'. In the optional Intellectual property module, 'searching intellectual property databases' is a user task.

Fee: £27,000 for September 2027 entry ('Fees for the 2027-28 academic year ... International students: £27,000 Full-time degree per annum'). There is no January or February 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. Listed discounts: Excellence Scholarship up to £6,000 off, Loughborough Business School Scholarship up to £3,000 off, and the alumni discount up to £3,000.
Length: 1 year full-time, September start only. Semester Three is the 45-credit Industry Experience Project (programme spec BSPTA5: 'Programme length 1 Year').
Start and deadline: No. This is a Loughborough-campus course and its only start is 20 September 2027. The 1 February 2027 intake is 'London campus only'. For September 2027, international students must apply by 23 August 2027 and pay the CAS deposit by the same date.
Entry: 2:2 (55%): 'A good honours degree in any discipline.' The page says the course is 'ideal if you have a non-business undergraduate degree'.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed, so the NIRF row applies: 2:2 = 50%, 2:1 = 55%, First = 61%. The course asks for a 2:2 (55%), which falls between the published 2:2 and 2:1 bands, and Loughborough publishes no Indian mid-2:2 figure. An overall 55% clears it for certain. Between 50% and 54% is unconfirmed, so ask admissions.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element (the university standard; this course sets no higher bar). CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75%, taken within ten years, is also accepted. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: Accreditation is at business-school level only: 'Administered by a triple-accredited business school (AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB)'. The programme has no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.

Tech evidence: The 2026/27 LUCAS module specs, read in full: all 8 compulsory modules are 100% coursework (essays, case studies, reports, a poster and presentations), and none includes programming, ML, LLM or NLP. BSP070 covers 'Game theoretical models in negotiation analysis' only as negotiation theory, assessed by a 2,000-word case study and a group presentation.

Project Management MSc Non-technical £27,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £27,000 international for 2027-28 (September 2027 entry). The fee is quoted per annum and the course is one year. There is no January 2027 start, so there is no January fee. The page lists an Excellence Scholarship (up to £6,000 off) and a Loughborough Business School Scholarship (up to £3,000 off).
Length: 1 year, full-time only. September 2027 intake only. Semester 1 runs from 27 Sept 2027, with Welcome Week the week before. Semester 3 (postgraduate taught only) ends 22 Sept 2028.
Start and deadline: No. The only start is September 2027. All 17 January-start courses are on the London campus, and this course is not one of them.
Entry: 2:2 (55%). This means a good honours degree in business, management or a cognate social science (sociology, psychology, economics), or a degree in another subject with a substantial business or social science component. Relevant professional experience or qualifications are welcomed.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed. For NIRF institutions the India table gives 61% for a First, 55% for a 2:1 and 50% for a 2:2. The course asks for a 2:2 at 55%, and there is no published India figure for that grade, so the bar sits somewhere from 50% to 55%. A score of 55% or above clears it for certain. Her degree must also have business or social-science content.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element. This is the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is also accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: The programme has no accreditation of its own. The listing says 'Administered by a triple-accredited business school (AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB)'. The course is not on APM's accredited list, and no CMI, CIPD, CIM or PMI accreditation is named. The page only says students 'might pursue' the PMI PMP or the APM PPQ.
Compulsory modules: Semester 1: Behavioural Project Management; Fundamentals of Project Management; Applied Systems Thinking; People, Organisation and Leadership. Semester 2: Project Governance, Risks and Stakeholder Engagement; Contemporary Supply Chain Management Topics; Strategic Management of Project-based Organisations; plus one option, either International Business Negotiations or Social Enterprise and Inclusive Entrepreneurship. Semester 3: Industry Experience Project (Project Management), 60 credits, which the course page calls 'Consultancy Project'. This is from the 2026/27 programme spec; the page says modules are an example only.
Tech evidence: PASS. I fetched all 7 compulsory and both optional 2026/27 module specs with curl, and none teaches programming, ML or data-science technique. Under the rubric that is PASS, not PASS_WITH_CARE. PASS_WITH_CARE means "avoid named technical options", and this course has no technical option: the slot is International Business Negotiations or Social Enterprise and Inclusive Entrepreneurship. The checker's facts are correct, though, and the sweep's note "No coding or analytics is stated" was wrong. The programme aims and PLO C2 name data science and machine learning.

Sport Business and Leadership MSc Non-technical £27,800 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: A January 2027 start pays the 2026-27 fee: £27,800 for international students. That figure already has the automatic £5,000 London 10th Anniversary Award taken off, so the offer letter will show the full fee of £32,800. The award cannot be combined with other University awards except the Alumni Bursary, and the higher award applies. A September 2027 start pays the 2027-28 fee of £33,000, with no anniversary award.

Her bar from Amity: Amity is an NIRF-listed institution, so the 2:1 bar is 55%. The case-by-case 2:2 route is 50% for NIRF institutions, so it covers 50% to 54%. No route is stated below 50%, and the table gives percentages only, with no CGPA conversion.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no element below 6.0, the University standard for all taught master's courses. Tests must be no more than two years old at the course start. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None on the course page, and the programme specification's accreditation section is empty. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation. The specification's benchmark list of external reference points still has a line reading 'Accreditation by the Institute of Leisure and Amenity Management', but the course page does not mention it.
Compulsory modules: Leadership Models and Practices: Application to a Sport Context (15); Leadership, Diversity and Change in the Sport Industry (15); Contemporary Sport Business (15); Grand Challenges (15); Critical Reflective Leadership and Sport Management (15); Leadership Development in Sport (15); Dissertation (60). She also takes one of Strategic Sports Sponsorship or Sport Event Management, and one of Collaborative Project or Sport Integrity.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module involves coding, ML, LLMs or NLP. Contemporary Sport Business 'explore[s] the sport business industry across diverse sectors, including sport marketing, sport management, innovation and digital technologies' as a business topic. Leadership Development in Sport is 'to support students in their personal leadership development'. The Dissertation can be 'A desk based research project'. No programming, statistics, analytics or methods module appears in any slot. Caveat: the page calls the modules 'an example only', and the LUCAS module tables are blocked off campus, so the 2027 list could not be cross-checked.

Sustainable Sport Business MSc Non-technical £27,800 · Starts Feb 2027 · 1 year

Fee: January 2027 start pays the 2026-27 fee: £27,800 on the course page, which already deducts the automatic £5,000 London 10th Anniversary Award. The offer letter will show £32,800, and the award cannot be combined with other awards except the Alumni Bursary. September 2027 start pays the 2027-28 fee: £33,000.
Length: Full-time 1 year. The January intake is full-time only, and the February-start programme specification (LLPTL3) gives 'Programme length 1 Year', so it does not run past 12 months. Part-time (up to 4 years) is offered for September only.
Start and deadline: Yes, full-time only, at the London campus. The programme starts on 1 February 2027. International deadlines: apply by 14 December 2026, accept the offer by 18 December 2026, pay the £2,500 CAS deposit by 4 January 2027, and the CAS is issued by 8 January 2027. The September 2027 intake starts on 20 September 2027.
Entry: A 2:1 honours degree (UK: at least 60% in the final year) in a wide range of disciplines. Applicants with a 2:2 are considered case by case.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed, so the 2:1 bar is 55%. A 2:2 equivalent (50%) is considered case by case.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no element below 6.0, the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None stated. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation and no AMBA, EQUIS or AACSB line for this London course.
Compulsory modules: Compulsory: Sustainability and Sport; Contemporary Sport Business; Grand Challenges (Semester 1, 15 credits each); Sport Ecology; Sport Event Management (Semester 2, 15 credits each); Dissertation (60 credits, Semesters 2 and 3). Options: one Semester 1 option from Sport Business Statistics and Analytics, Leadership, Diversity and Change in the Sport Industry, or Sport, Politics, and Diplomacy (the credits only total 180 with one). In Semester 2, one of Sport Public Relations and Communication, Leadership Development in Sport, Business Models and Entrepreneurship in the Sport Industry, or Trade Law and Sustainability, plus one of Collaborative Project or Sport Integrity.
Tech evidence: PASS. No compulsory module teaches programming, ML, LLM, NLP or building tech. Both agents assumed that public module tables could not be reached, but I fetched them from LUCAS. The checker's "named technical option to avoid" turns out not to be technical. The optional module 26LLP315 Sport Business Statistics and Analytics is assessed by a "Recorded Presentation of Annotated JASP Analysis". JASP is point-and-click statistics software like SPSS, and the module adds dashboards. Both are on the student's acceptable list. It is also avoidable, because Semester 1 has 45 compulsory credits plus one 15-credit option, and the other two choices are Leadership, Diversity and Change in the Sport ...

Management MSc Some data or analytics £27,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £27,000 per year for 2027-28 (September 2027 entry). There is no January or February 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. The course page lists an Excellence Scholarship (up to £6,000 off) and a Loughborough Business School Scholarship (up to £3,000 off).
Length: 1 year full-time, September start only. The 45-credit Industry Experience Project runs in the summer (programme specification: 'Programme length 1 Year').
Start and deadline: No. This course starts only in September 2027 (programmes start 20 September 2027, and the international application deadline is 23 August 2027). Loughborough's 1 February 2027 intake is for the London campus only and does not include this course.
Entry: UK 2:2 (55%): 'A good honours degree typically in a non-business field though those with a business background will be considered.' The entry text lists no work-experience requirement.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed, so the NIRF row applies: 61% for a First, 55% for a 2:1 and 50% for a 2:2. The course asks for a 2:2 at 55%, which has no India column. A score of 55% or more (the NIRF 2:1 figure) clearly clears it. A score from 50% to 54% has no published answer, and no CGPA conversion is published.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element, the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is also accepted if taken within ten years of the start. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: The accreditation is for the business school, not this programme: 'Administered by a triple-accredited business school (AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB)'. The programme has no CMI, CIM or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Semester 1: Human Resource Management, Marketing in the Organisation, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Responsible Global Business Practices, and Personal Development for Employability (which runs across both semesters). Semester 2: Digital Organisations and Strategy and Corporate Finance for Non-Specialists. Summer: Industry Experience Project (45 credits, a group consultancy project for a client). She also picks two of Strategy Analysis, Small Business & Entrepreneurship, Marketing Communications, Social Enterprise and Inclusive Entrepreneurship, and Global Marketing. All five options are non-technical.
Tech evidence: BORDERLINE. No compulsory module involves programming, ML or building tech: 26BSP026 Digital Organisations and Strategy only discusses data science and AI conceptually (3,000-word report), and HRM (BSP020), Marketing in the Organisation (BSP029), Innovation and Entrepreneurship (BSP061), Responsible Global Business Practices (BSP071), Personal Development for Employability (BSP030) and the Industry Experience Project (BSP167) are non-technical. But the Semester 2 compulsory module 26BSP447 Corporate Finance for Non-Specialists is quantitative: time value of money, bond and stock valuation, capital structure, 'Use numerical data to address problems' and 'Use information technology tools to ...

Block 8 is LLP008 Collaborative Project, LLP120 Game Technologies and Advanced 3D Environments, or LLP309 Sport Integrity.
Tech evidence: The compulsory module LLP315 Sport Business Statistics and Analytics covers 'quantitative analysis', 'tests of similarity and differences' and 'data visualisation techniques in dashboards'. It is assessed 100% by a 'Recorded Presentation of Annotated JASP Analysis'. JASP describes itself as having a 'graphical user interface' and a 'drag-and-drop interface', and the module names no programming. The other compulsory modules (LLP316, LLP330, LLP735, LLP325 and LLP502) are assessed by reports, a blog post, presentations and the dissertation, with no coding. In Block 7 she should take LLP312 New Media and Analytics, which uses 'Excel workshops' and is assessed by a group presentation and a ...

Sport Management MSc Some data or analytics £33,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £33,000 per year for international students starting in September 2027 (2027-28 fees). There is no January or February intake, so there is no January fee.
Length: Full-time 1 year (part-time typically 2 years). It has a September start only.
Start and deadline: No. The only start date is September 2027, and the 2027/28 programme specification is headed 'September start'. The fallback is September 2027. Loughborough's search excerpts show that the separate London-campus Sport Marketing, Sport Business and Leadership, and Sport Business and Innovation MSc courses say 'You can choose to start this degree in January (full-time only)'. Those courses were not verified here.
Entry: A 2:1 honours degree (or international equivalent) in sport, business, management or a related subject (marketing, accounting, economics), law, or engineering with management. Applicants with a non-related degree are considered case by case only if they have relevant professional experience or qualifications, and they may be interviewed.
Her bar from Amity: 55%, because Amity is NIRF-listed and this is the 2:1 column for 'Institutions listed on the National Institutional Ranking Framework'. Non-NIRF Indian institutions need 62%. Her degree must also be in a related subject such as business, management, marketing or economics. Otherwise she is considered case by case, which needs relevant professional experience.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, with no element below 6.0. This is the university standard and applies to every taught master's except MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology. The English requirements page also accepts CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% if taken within ten years of the course start, so she may not need IELTS at all.
Accreditation: None stated. The course page names no professional body (no CIM, CMI or CIPD), and the programme specification's accreditation flag is 'N'.
Compulsory modules: All 180 credits are compulsory, and there are no optional modules. They are Economics of Innovation in Sport (15), Management of Human Resources in the Sport Industry (15), Strategic Sport Marketing (15), Research Methods and Data Analytics (30), Accounting for Decision Making (15), Sport Sales (15), Event Management (15), Personal Development for Sport Management Employability (15) and Project (SM/SMPID) (45).
Tech evidence: PSP114 Research Methods and Data Analytics is a compulsory 30-credit module. It covers 'quantitative methods and analysis/analytics' and expects students to 'use IT software pertinent to sport management research (e.g., Qualtrics, SPSS, STATA, NVivo)', with 12 hours of computer lab workshops. It is assessed by a presentation and two essays, and no coding is stated. BSP008 Accounting for Decision Making asks students to 'compute appropriate accounting ratios'. No compulsory module mentions programming, ML, LLM or NLP.

Entry: 'A 2:2 honours degree (minimum of 55% overall) or equivalent international qualification in any subject area.'
Her bar from Amity: Loughborough publishes no Indian equivalent for its 55% bar. Its India table gives NIRF-listed graduates 50% for a 2:2 (UK 50%) and 55% for a 2:1 (UK 60%). So 55% or more clears the bar, while 50 to 54% needs confirmation from admissions.

The course asks for a 2:2 with a UK minimum of 55%, and there is no Indian mid 2:2 figure. 55% or more clears the bar for certain.

Fee: £27,000 per year for international students, at 2027-28 fees for September 2027 entry, full-time. There is no January or February 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. Scholarships listed on the course page: the Excellence Scholarship (up to £6,000 off) and the Loughborough Business School Scholarship (up to £3,000 off).

International deadlines for September 2027: apply with all documents by 23 August 2027, pay the CAS deposit by 23 August 2027, and accept the offer by 30 August 2027.
Entry: Key facts say '2:2 (55%)'. The full text says: 'A good honours degree in any discipline is required... Applicants should also demonstrate numerical proficiency, normally through prior study of mathematical or statistical subjects as part of their undergraduate degree. Applicants with a lower second class degree may be considered where they can demonstrate substantial relevant professional experience.' BPS Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership is needed only for the Chartered Occupational Psychologist route, and it can be obtained before or after the MSc.
Her bar from Amity: Amity University (Noida) is NIRF-listed (2025 University rank 22), so the NIRF column applies: 2:1 = 55%, 2:2 = 50%, First = 61%. With one internship she cannot count on the 2:2 route, which needs substantial professional experience, so she should aim for 55% or above. She also needs to show numerical proficiency, normally through maths or statistics in her degree.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no element below 6.0. This is the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses except MSc Clinical Exercise Physiology. The test must be no more than two years old at the course start. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: Accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Association for Business Psychology (ABP).

The business school is triple-accredited (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA). There is no CIPD, CMI or CIM accreditation. The accredited award needs every module mark at 50% or above; otherwise the award is the non-accredited MSc Psychology Applied to the Workplace.
Compulsory modules: All modules are compulsory and there are no options. The nine modules total 180 credits: Well-being and Work (BSP402); Work Design, Organisational Change and Development (BSP403); Career Development (BSP406); Gathering and Using Evidence in Work Psychology (BSP404, Semesters 1 and 2, taken first); Leadership and Performance Management (BSP400); Employee Engagement, Motivation and Voice (BSP401); Psychological Assessment in Organisations (BSP405); Learning, Development and Knowledge Management (BSP407); Empirical Research Project in Work Psychology (BSP408, 60 credits).
Tech evidence: The compulsory module BSP404 (2026/27 spec) covers 'the application of basic statistical tests to issues in work psychology; advanced quantitative methods and their application to work psychology', and it is assessed partly by a 1500-word 'Technical report'. BSP405 asks students to interpret 'quantitative data relating to individual differences', and entry asks for 'numerical proficiency'. None of the nine compulsory module specs names programming, software, ML, LLM or NLP, so this is not a FAIL.

Start and deadline: Yes, full-time only, at the London campus. Programmes start on 1 February 2027. For international students, apply by 14 December 2026, accept the offer by 18 December 2026, and pay the £2,500 CAS deposit by 4 January 2027. The CAS is issued by 8 January 2027, and the latest registration date is 22 February 2027. September 2027 programmes start on 20 September 2027, and the international application deadline is 23 August 2027.
Entry: 'A 2:2 honours degree with a minimum of 55% (or equivalent international qualification), in social science, humanities or associated subject.' Her Amity degree must be in a social science, humanities or related subject.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed, so the NIRF row of the India table applies: 50% for a 2:2, 55% for a 2:1 and 61% for a First. The course asks for a 2:2 with at least 55%, and no India figure is published for that. An overall 55% clears it for certain. A score from 50 to 54% is not confirmed, so she should ask admissions. No CGPA conversion is published.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, with at least 6.0 in each part. This is the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses. She can use CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% instead if it was taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None. No professional body is named (no CIM, CMI or CIPD), and the programme specification has the accreditation flag set to N.
Compulsory modules: Media Industries: Critical Perspectives (15), Grand Challenges (15), Creative Industries: Contexts and Practices (15), Researching Media Industries (15) and Dissertation (60), which can be desk-based, primary research or a placement. She also picks one module from each of four sets: Branding & Identity, Digital Heritage, Museums and Cultural Industries, or UX and Design; The Age of Promotion or Creative Producing in the Digital Economy; Sport Public Relations and Communication, Identity, Media and Social Movements, or Immersive Experiences and Creative Technologies; and Collaborative Project or Learning from the Global South: Field Trip (which has extra travel costs). The page says modules ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module involves coding, ML, LLMs or NLP. Researching Media Industries is the only methods module, and it covers 'a range of methodologies for the analysis of the structure, operation, outputs and uses of the media and creative industries' and 'applied skills for research design, data collection and analysis'. These are general research methods, with no software or programming named. The other compulsory modules cover critical debates, the SDGs and industry practice. The most technology-flavoured option is Immersive Experiences and Creative Technologies, but it 'explores industry-relevant and socio-cultural implications of using immersive technologies', so it is a critical ...

Media and Communication MA Non-technical £27,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £27,000 for 2027-28 (September 2027 entry), full-time, per annum ('International students: £27,000 Full-time degree per annum'). There is no January 2027 start on this campus, so no 2026-27 fee applies. The Excellence Scholarship takes £6,000 off for international students with a first-class degree or equivalent (61% for NIRF-listed Indian institutions).
Length: 1 year full-time, or 2 years part-time. September 2027 start only. Semester 1 runs 27 Sept 2027 to 4 Feb 2028, with Welcome Week the week before. The taught-postgraduate Semester 3 ends 22 Sept 2028, so the course lasts about 12 months.
Start and deadline: No. This Loughborough-campus course starts in September 2027 only. Loughborough runs January 2027 starts only at its London campus, where a separate Media and Communication MA (/media-communication-london/) is listed as 'January 2027 or September 2027'.
Entry: 'A 2:2 honours degree with 55% or above (or equivalent international qualification), in a wide range of subjects across diverse disciplines, such as English, the social sciences, humanities and business. Professional experience will be considered.'
Her bar from Amity: Amity is NIRF-listed, so the NIRF row applies: 61% for a First, 55% for a 2:1 and 50% for a 2:2 (other Indian institutions need 68%, 62% and 57%). The course asks for a 2:2 with 55%, which falls between the NIRF 2:2 (50%) and 2:1 (55%) figures. No exact Indian equivalent is published. 55% overall clears it safely; 50 to 54% is uncertain.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no element below 6.0 (University standard for all taught postgraduate courses). The test must be no more than two years old at the course start. CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None stated. The course page and the listing card name no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Semester 1: Understanding Contemporary Media; Media Industries and Professions; Digital Economies; Researching Communications 1: Media Users and Cultural Industries. Semester 2: Media Representations, Identity and Digital Culture; Political Communication in the Digital Age; Effective Communication; Researching Communications 2: Texts and Digital Platforms. All eight are 15 credits. She then picks one 60-credit dissertation: Postgraduate Dissertation or Workplace Focused Dissertation. There are no optional modules. The page says the module list is 'an example only' for the current year.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module description mentions coding, ML, LLMs or NLP. The two methods modules use mixed methods. RC1 asks students to 'critically discuss how qualitative and quantitative methodologies are applied'. RC2 covers methods 'both quantitative and qualitative' with 'practical application in adjacent workshops' and names no software. AI is studied only as a social topic: Digital Economies covers 'changes brought by advanced technology - including Artificial Intelligence'. Effective Communication teaches conversation analysis. The LUCAS module specs are blocked off campus ('Web pages are restricted by location'), and so are the Talis reading lists, so the verdict rests on the ...

Digital Media and Communication MA Non-technical £27,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £27,000 for September 2027 entry (2027-28 fee, full-time). No January or February 2027 start exists, so no 2026-27 fee applies. The £2,500 CAS deposit is credited towards the fee. The course page lists an Excellence Scholarship of up to £6,000 off.
Length: 1 year full-time, 12 months. Welcome Week from 20 September 2027, Semester 1 runs 27 September 2027 to 4 February 2028, and the dissertation period ends 22 September 2028. September entry only.
Start and deadline: No. This course is not on Loughborough's January 2027 list (all 17 courses there are London campus), and the 1 February 2027 start is 'London campus only'. The next start is 20 September 2027, with an international application deadline of 23 August 2027.
Entry: A 2:2 (55%) honours degree, preferably in Social Sciences and Humanities, though 'a large range of other subject areas will be considered'.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed (NIRF 2025 University rank 22), so the NIRF column applies: a UK 2:2 (50%) is 50% and a UK 2:1 (60%) is 55%. This course asks for a 55% 2:2, which has no India column, so the exact cut-off is between 50% and 55%. 55% overall clears it for certain. No CGPA conversion is published.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element (university standard, with no course uplift). CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None stated. No CIM, CIPR, PRCA or other professional body is named.
Compulsory modules: Understanding Contemporary Media; Promotional Industries; Researching Communications 1: Media Users and Cultural Industries; Media Representations, Identity and Digital Culture; Political Communication in the Digital Age; Effective Communication; Researching Communications 2: Texts and Digital Platforms (all 15 credits); plus one 60-credit dissertation (Postgraduate or Workplace Focused). She also takes one option: Media Industries and Professions or Digital Economies (both non-technical).
Tech evidence: No compulsory module states programming, ML, LLM/NLP or building tech. The two research-methods modules (CXP503, CXP317) are mixed qualitative and quantitative social-science methods, with practical workshops on media content including digital platforms. Effective Communication teaches conversation analysis, which is qualitative. Caveat: the LUCAS module specs show a blank module table from off campus for 2024/25 to 2026/27, and the Talis reading lists need a Loughborough login, so the exact tools used in the RC2 workshops are not published. Entry asks for no quantitative background.

Design and Branding MA Non-technical £32,750 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £32,750 per year for September 2027 entry (2027-28 fees; UK £14,000). There is no January or February 2027 start, so no January fee exists. The page lists an Excellence Scholarship (up to £6,000 off) and a London Scholarship (up to £3,000 off).

Entry: A 2:2 honours degree (or equivalent international qualification) in design, innovation, business, media, technology or a related subject. Applicants from non-design backgrounds must have achieved 55% or above in their final year. No portfolio is mentioned.
Her bar from Amity: Amity Noida is NIRF-listed, so Loughborough's India table applies: a 2:2 is 50% (a 2:1 is 55%, a First is 61%). As a non-design graduate she also needs 55% or above in her final year. No CGPA conversion is published, so 55% or more on her own final-year marks is the safe bar.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each element, the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses.

MOI letters are not accepted, and tests must be no more than two years old at the start of the course.
Accreditation: None stated on the course page. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: Semester 1: Branding & Identity, Design Innovation and Grand Challenges (15 credits each), plus one 15-credit option from Strategy and Market Analysis, The Age of Promotion: Strategies for winning hearts and minds, or Creative Producing in the Digital Economy (needed to reach 180 credits). Semester 2: Design Research, Design for Experiences, Collaborative Project and Branding and Strategy (15 credits each). Summer: Dissertation (60 credits), done as a desk project, a primary-data project or a placement. The page says the module list is 'an example only'.

Sport Management MSc Some data or analytics £33,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £33,000 per year for September 2027 entry (2027-28 fee, full-time; UK fee is £15,000). There is no January or February 2027 intake, so no 2026-27 fee applies. Scholarships listed: Excellence Scholarship up to £6,000 off and London Scholarship up to £3,000 off.
Length: Full-time 1 year ('Programme length 1 Year', spec LLPTD1 2027/28). Part-time up to 4 years. The dissertation runs in Semesters Two and Three.
Start and deadline: No. The only start is September 2027, and the course is not in the January-start list. A 'February start - London' version (LLPTL7) is approved in the 2027/28 programme specs, but that means February 2028, and the course page does not advertise it.
Entry: 'A 2:1 honours degree (with a minimum of 60% in final year), or equivalent international qualification. Applicants with a 2:2 honours degree will be considered on a case-by-case basis.' No subject is required; the page says it 'welcomes students from diverse academic backgrounds'.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall for the 2:1 (India table for NIRF-listed institutions: 61% / 55% / 50%). Amity Noida is NIRF-listed. At 50% to 54% (2:2) she would be considered case by case.
English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each element (the university standard for all taught postgraduate courses). CBSE or ISC Class XII English at 75% is accepted if taken within ten years. MOI letters are not accepted.
Accreditation: None stated. The page shows no CMI, CIM or CIPD, and no AMBA, EQUIS or AACSB badge.
Compulsory modules: LLP315 Sport Business Statistics and Analytics (15), LLP735 Grand Challenges (15), LLP749 Contemporary Sport Business (15), LLP748 Managing People in Sport Organisations (15), LLP502 Dissertation (60). Options: in Semester 1, one of Leadership Models and Practices, Sustainability and Sport, Sport Marketing, or Sport Business and Innovation. In Semester 2, one from each block: Block 6 (Sport PR and Communication, Business Models and Entrepreneurship, Sustainable Event Management), Block 7 (New Media and Analytics for Sport Business, Sport Ecology, Leadership Development in Sport) and Block 8 (Collaborative Project, Sport Integrity).
Tech evidence: The compulsory LLP315 is a statistics and dashboards module: 'Explain tests of similarity and differences relevant to sport business', 'Apply data visualisation techniques in dashboards'. Its 2026/27 assessment is 'Recorded Presentation of Annotated JASP Analysis' (100%). JASP is point-and-click software with a 'graphical user interface' and 'drag-and-drop interface', and no coding is named, so this is the mild end of BORDERLINE. Grand Challenges is assessed by a blog post and a group poster. The 2026/27 Contemporary Sport Business (LLP330) is a 2000-word report. The Dissertation is a standard research project. Managing People in Sport Organisations has no published description yet ('More ...

MSc Marketing Recommended Non-technical £20,540 · January 2027 · 18 months from January

Fee: £20,540 (2026/27) and £21,365 (2027/28). A January 2027 start most likely pays the 2026/27 rate, but this is not stated. September 2027 pays £21,365. Napier publishes nothing on a 2027/28 charge for the 18-month January route.
Length: 'September starts: 12 months; January starts: 18 months with a three-month break over the summer (after the first taught trimester).' The header says 'Duration: 1 year'. curl and Firecrawl agree.
Start and deadline: 'Typical entry points to this course are in January and September.' 'Apply for January 2027' is open. January start is 18 January 2027. September 2027 start is 13 September 2027 and is not open yet. No course deadline is published, and the CAS stops approximately one month before the semester start.
Entry: 'The entry requirements for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at a 2:2 or above. We look for applicants to have a background in any discipline'.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall bachelor's (Napier India page).
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5 (Napier PG minimum; no course-specific score on the page). The same India English waiver applies.
Accreditation: CIM only ('The Chartered Institute of Marketing logo'). The text also mentions 'links with industry bodies including the Chartered Institute of Marketing, The Marketing Society Scotland and the Institute of Direct Marketing'. Those are links, not accreditations.
Compulsory modules: Not labelled. The page lists 13 modules: Advertising as Cultural Discourse (IBC11104), Consumer Insights (MKT11112), Contemporary Issues in Festivals and Events (TSM11123), Developing Intercultural Competence in the Workplace (IBC11102), Digital Marketing Strategy (MKT11124), Global Marketing (MKT11104), Marketing Communications (MKT11101), Principles and Practice of Marketing (MKT11108), Research Methods (SOE11131), Research Skills (TBS11109), Skills for Success (TBS11108), Social Media and Content Marketing (MKT11111) and Strategic Brand Management (MKT11103). The course also works 'towards your own dissertation'. The module catalogue shows no 2026/7 run for IBC11104 or IBC11102.
Tech evidence: The Skeptic is right, and the Verifier is right on everything except the last sentence.

#3 MSc Marketing with Digital Strategy Recommended Some data or analytics £20,540 · January 2027 · 16 months from January

Fee: Overseas and EU: £20,540 in the '2026/27' column and £21,365 in the '2027/28' column. January 2027 start: the page never says which column applies. Napier's term dates put 18 January 2027 inside the 2026-2027 academic year, and the South Asia Scholarship groups 'June 2026, September 2026 or January 2027' starts together, so £20,540 is the likely rate, but no page states it in words. September 2027 start: £21,365 (2027/28). Napier publishes nothing on whether a January starter pays extra for the 2027/28 part of the 16 months. The fee policy only says 'Fees are due for each academic year or period of study for the whole programme/course'. The page also says 'Tuition fees are subject to an ...
Length: 1 year for a September start ('Duration: 1 year'). A January start runs 16 months, not 12 and not 18: 'This full-time course will take up to a year (16 months if you are a January start) to complete'. The page does not mention a summer break. The 18-month wording belongs to the MSc Marketing and MSc Business Management pages, not this one. curl and Firecrawl (maxAge 0) show identical text.
Start and deadline: January 2027: teaching starts 18 January 2027 (term dates: 'Trimester 2: 18 January – 15 May 2027'; the winter break ends 17 January 2027). The page shows 'Start date: Jan' and 'Apply for January 2027', so applications are open now. September 2027: 'Typical entry points to this course are in January and September.' It would start 13 September 2027 ('Trimester 1: 13 September – 18 December 2027'), but it is not open for applications yet ('Most courses start welcoming applications around 10 months before the course start date'). There is no published course deadline. Napier says 'If there is an application deadline specific to that course, this will be mentioned in the Overview section', and ...
Entry: 'The entry requirements for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at a 2:2 or above. We look for applicants to have a background in any discipline in order to be eligible for the programme.' Also: 'Please note that digital skills and literacy are required for this course from the outset.'
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall in her bachelor's. Napier's India page says 'You will be eligible to apply if you have gained a bachelors degree with overall grade of 55% or above.' That one bar applies to every Indian university, and only MSc Computing with Professional Placement needs 60%. curl and Firecrawl agree.
English: The course page gives no course-specific score, so Napier's postgraduate taught minimum applies: 'IELTS (Academic) 6.0 overall, with no component below 5.5'. India waiver: 'You may be considered without a further English test if you have completed an undergraduate degree taught and examined in English from a recognized university within the last 2 years.' For a degree finished 2 to 5 years before the start, Napier also needs '65% or higher in English' in Class XII.
Accreditation: CIM and IDM. The 'ACCREDITED BY' block shows 'Institute of Data & Marketing logo' and 'The Chartered Institute of Marketing logo' (image file cim-accredited-degree). The overview text says 'The course is accredited by the Institute of Data & Marketing (IDM)' and that students can gain the 'Certificate in Digital and Data Driven Marketing'. curl and Firecrawl agree. Among Napier's marketing MSc pages, this is the only one that shows two logos.
Compulsory modules: The page does not label each module, but the course details say: 'core principles of marketing alongside specialist topics including Analytics & AI, Consumer Insights (option), Marketing Communications (option), Strategic Brand Management, Digital Marketing Strategy, and Social Media & Content Marketing. You will also have the option to study Marketing for Sustainable Future'. Compulsory on that reading: Principles and Practice of Marketing (MKT11108), Analytics and AI for Marketing Strategy (MKT11127), Strategic Brand Management (MKT11103), Digital Marketing Strategy (MKT11124), Social Media and Content Marketing (MKT11111), Skills for Success (TBS11108, 'pass/fail attended module'), ...
Tech evidence: One compulsory module is analytics-flavoured. Analytics and AI for Marketing Strategy (MKT11127) is not marked as an option. Its description says 'you will get hands-on experience in analytics and AI tools used by marketing practitioners'. The lectures cover 'web analytics, social media analytics, AI and algorithms, data-driven marketing, ethics and governance'. Tutorials are 'Computer labs [that] will give you hands-on experience in analytics and AI tools'. LO2 is 'Define and analyse commonly used analytics metrics in the context of marketing objectives'.

Entry: A Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above in any discipline. Lower qualifications may be considered with enough professional work experience in the industry.
Her bar from Amity: A bachelor's degree with an overall grade of 55% or above (Napier India entry page). No difference by Indian university tier is stated.

T2: Research Methods (SOE11131), Strategic Brand Management (MKT11103), Digital Marketing Strategy (MKT11124), Case Studies in International Tourism (TSM11105). T3: Dissertation (TBS11130, 15,000 words). Module codes were matched by exact title, level and campus delivery in the module catalogue. Napier calls the list 'indicative only'.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, ML, LLM or NLP, or building technology. The most quantitative parts are these. Research Methods (SOE11131) says 'data gathering for both qualitative and quantitative will be explored, along with appropriate analysis techniques' and has 'quantitative workshops to review analysis approaches', but it is assessed only by a 4,000-word research proposal. Digital Marketing Strategy (MKT11124) is strategy content ('social media marketing, digital advertising, digital PR, online market research ... email marketing'), assessed by a class test of 'theory, applied case studies, simulations and calculations' and a group plan for an IDM brief.

MSc International Marketing Modules not checked £20,540 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £20,540 (2026/27) and £21,365 (2027/28). There is no January intake, so September 2027 entry pays £21,365 (2027/28).
Length: 1 year: 'This is a one year full-time course starting in September and is split up into three trimesters.'
Start and deadline: September only: 'Typical entry point to this course is in September.' The page has no start-date field and no Apply option. Napier explains that 'The Apply option appears when the course opens for applications.' A September 2027 start would be 13 September 2027. The course still looks live: the page returns HTTP 200, it is in Napier's course sitemap (lastmod 2026-05-02), it shows 2026/27 and 2027/28 fees and it names a programme leader (Dr Agata Krowinska). The two methods disagree on indexing. curl's raw HTML has no robots meta tag and no X-Robots-Tag header, but Firecrawl's rendered metadata reports 'robots: noindex'.
Entry: 'The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at a 2:2 or above. We look for applicants to have a background in any discipline'.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall bachelor's (Napier India page).
English: IELTS Academic 6.0, no component below 5.5.
Accreditation: CIM ('The Chartered Institute of Marketing logo').
Compulsory modules: None published on the page (checked with both curl and Firecrawl).
Tech evidence: The Skeptic is right, and the Verifier is right on everything except the last sentence.

MBA (Business Leadership and Practice) Non-technical £12,330 · January 2027 · 24 months from January

Fee: £12,330 per year at the 2026/27 rate for a January 2027 start. £12,825 per year at the 2027/28 rate for September 2027. Fees are charged per year over two academic years. The second-year fee is 'subject to an annual review'. Napier's South Asia scholarship gives £1,000 for two-year courses and covers January 2027 starts. The India PG guide lists a £500 discount for paying in full at least 30 days before registration.
Length: 2 years full-time (24 months), 200 credits. A January start runs the same 24 months, since no shorter January route is published.
Start and deadline: Yes. The page shows 'Start date: Jan' and 'Apply for January 2027', and Napier says the course page lists the start dates currently available. Trimester 2 starts 18 January 2027 (university term dates). No course-specific deadline is published. September is the usual intake ('Typical entry point to this course is in September'). The page currently lists only the January start, but it already shows a 2027/28 fee.
Entry: Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above in any discipline, plus a personal statement. No work experience is listed as required. The course is aimed at recent graduates. Holders of a Business Management or Administration masters are not considered.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall in the bachelor's degree, from Napier's India entry page. There is no university tiering, so an Amity Noida graduate needs 55%.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, no component below 5.5. The test can be waived for an English-taught Indian degree finished within 2 years. If the degree was finished 2 to 5 years ago, 65% or more in Class XII English is also needed.
Accreditation: No course-level accreditation (no AMBA, CMI, CIM or CIPD named on the page). The Business School is AACSB-accredited.
Compulsory modules: Every module is compulsory and there are no options (200 credits in total). Contemporary perspectives on Business and Leadership (20), Developing Academic and Professional Skills for Business Leaders (20), Leadership of People and Organisational Change (20), Business Operations for Leaders (20), Marketing Strategy for Business Leaders (20), Strategic Management (20), Business Economics in Practice (10), Financial Analysis for Business Leaders (10), Leadership in Business Practice Project (60). Two 0-credit modules sit alongside: Skills for Success (pass/fail) and MBA Employability Skills (a timetabling shell).
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, ML, LLM or NLP. The descriptors use business simulation games (SimVenture in SOE11157 and a strategy simulation in SOE11164). Assessment is reports, case studies, presentations, a portfolio and reflective logs. The only numeric content is light and standard for an MBA: a 10-credit finance module 'for those without accountancy and finance knowledge' and a 10-credit economics module ('marginal analysis', report with real-world data). The 60-credit project covers qualitative and quantitative research methods and is assessed by a written business report.

Fee: £20,540 (2026/27) and £21,365 (2027/28). Same caveats as above on which column a January 2027 entrant pays and on any 2027/28 charge for the 18-month route.
Length: 'September starts: 12 months; January starts: 18 months with a three-month break over the summer (after the first taught trimester)'.
Start and deadline: 'Typical entry points to this course are in January and September.' 'Apply for January 2027' is open. Start 18 January 2027, or 13 September 2027 (not open yet). No course deadline is published.

Accreditation: None shown on the course page (it has no 'ACCREDITED BY' block). Napier's HR pages say 'The Business School is AACSB accredited'.

Human resources 3

MSc Human Resource Management Non-technical £21,365 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £21,365 for a September 2027 start (Overseas and EU, 2027/28 column). There is no January intake, so no January fee applies. £20,540 is the 2026/27 rate for the September 2026 cohort.
Length: 1 year full time, September start only. On Napier's 2027-28 calendar, Trimester 1 runs 13 Sep to 18 Dec 2027 and Trimester 3 (the research project, 'early May to August') ends 26 Aug 2028. Teaching is on Mondays and Tuesdays in trimesters 1 and 2.
Start and deadline: No. 'This is a one-year full-time course starting in September.' The next start is 13 September 2027. As of 20 Oct 2026 the page shows no start-date field and no 'Apply for September 2027' button. Archived copies show the same in Nov 2025, and 'Apply for September 2026' had appeared by Feb 2026, so this looks like the normal yearly cycle rather than a closure. The 2027/28 fee is published.
Entry: Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above, any discipline.
Her bar from Amity: Bachelor's degree with 55% overall or above (Napier India page; no tiering by university).
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5. An Indian graduate may be considered without a test if the degree was taught and examined in English within the last 2 years. Between 2 and 5 years, Napier also needs 65% or more in Class XII English.
Accreditation: CIPD. 'Edinburgh Napier University is a CIPD Accredited Programme Provider', and graduates who meet CIPD requirements can become Associate Members (Assoc CIPD). AACSB covers the whole Business School.
Compulsory modules: 9 compulsory modules, 180 credits, no optional slots (Napier's latest published list, Wayback capture of 14 May 2026): Business Analytics and Change HRM11127 (20); Employee Resourcing HRM11102 (20); Employment Law LAW11101 (20); HRM Masters Research Project HRM11126 (40); Labour Relations HRM11103 (20); People and Organisational Development HRM11115 (20); Research Methods in HRM HRM11125 (20); Skills for Success TBS11108 (0, pass/fail); Skills in People Management HRM11128 (20). 7×20 + 40 + 0 = 180. The sweep's list of 8 matches the May 2025 capture, which did not include Employee Resourcing, so it is out of date. The live page (fetched 20 Oct 2026 with curl, and rendered with Firecrawl ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches coding, ML, LLM or NLP. HRM11127 Business Analytics and Change is mainly change management. Its analytics half is conceptual ('people analytics ... measures ... scorecard approach'), and it is assessed by a 3,500-word report on a change scenario plus an essay-format exam. HRM11125 Research Methods uses 'analysis of data (using SPSS)', which is point-and-click and allowed by her brief, and its 'coding qualitative data' means thematic analysis. TBS11108 covers Office 365 and LinkedIn employability. All other modules are assessed by reports, essays, presentations or the dissertation.

MSc International Human Resource Management Some data or analytics £20,540 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: £20,540 for a January 2027 start (2026/27 rate). £21,365 for a September 2027 start (2027/28 rate). Only one course fee is shown, and no extra second-year charge is stated for the 18-month January route. The South Asia Scholarship of £3,000 for a one-year course is offered first come, first served.
Length: 12 months for a September start. 18 months for a January start, with a three-month summer break after the first taught trimester, so a January 2027 start finishes in 2028.
Start and deadline: Yes, and applications are open ('Apply for January 2027'). Teaching starts 18 January 2027 (Trimester 2 of the 2026-27 calendar). The September 2027 fallback starts 13 September 2027.
Entry: UK Bachelor (Honours) 2:2 or above in any discipline. Relevant work experience can be considered when grades fall below the bar.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall in the bachelor's degree (Napier India page). Universities are not ranked by tier, so this applies to Amity Noida.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5 (the UKVI version if a SELT is required). The test may be waived for an English-medium degree finished within the last 2 years.
Accreditation: No programme accreditation and no CIPD. Napier's separate MSc Human Resource Management is the CIPD-accredited course. The Business School is AACSB-accredited.
Compulsory modules: All 9 listed modules are 'Modules that you will study', with no options: Contemporary Issues in Strategic Management; Employee Resourcing; HRM in an International Context; Intercultural Business Communication; People and Organisational Development; Research Methods; Research Skills; Skills for Success (0 credits, pass/fail); The Organisational Context of HR. The list is indicative only.
Tech evidence: BORDERLINE (mild). No module teaches coding, ML, LLM or NLP. However, HRM11116 The Organisational Context of HR (20 credits) appears in the course page's single list of "Modules that you will study", and that list has no optional section, so the module is compulsory. Half of its assessment is a 2-hour centrally timetabled exam worth 50% on financial statements, ratios and formulae. The module runs in both Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 of 2026/7, so it applies to a January 2027 start as well as a September start. The finance content is quantitative but involves no coding, which makes BORDERLINE the right verdict, not FAIL. Research Methods (SOE11131) and Research Skills (TBS11109) also cover ...

MSc Human Resource Management with Artificial Intelligence Modules not checked £21,365 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: For a September 2027 start, the fee is £21,365 (Overseas and EU, 2027/28 column). The 2026/27 column shows £20,540. There is no January 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. Napier's India page also mentions 'Merit based scholarships up to £3000'.
Length: 1 year, full-time, starting in September. Napier's general term dates for 2027-28 run from 13 September 2027 (Trimester 1) to 26 August 2028 (end of Trimester 3). Napier notes that some courses have their own dates.
Start and deadline: No. This course is not on Napier's January 2027 list. It is listed for 'September 2027 entry, with applications opening soon'. The course page shows no start date, and its Apply link goes only to the generic postgraduate how-to-apply page.
Entry: A Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above, in any discipline. Napier may consider lower qualifications with enough relevant work experience.
Her bar from Amity: An overall grade of 55% or above in the bachelor's degree, from Napier's India page. The page does not tier Indian universities.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with no component below 5.5. This is Napier's postgraduate taught minimum, and the course page sets nothing higher. Napier's India page says the test may be waived if her degree was taught and examined in English within the last 2 years. If she finished 2 to 5 years before the course starts, she also needs 65% or higher in Class XII English.
Accreditation: CIPD. The course page shows the CIPD approved centre logo under 'ACCREDITED BY' and describes the course as 'CIPD-accredited HR education'. The CIPD level is not stated. The Business School is also AACSB accredited.
Compulsory modules: Not published. The course page has no module list, either in its HTML or after rendering. Napier's module catalogue does not link modules to programmes, and WhatUni shows an empty module list.
Tech evidence: No module descriptions are published. The page describes 'in-depth learning in AI, data analytics, and computing' and 'AI, data analytics, and computing skills'. It mentions 'the AI modules' and 'data analysis projects', and says the Merchiston campus provides 'computer labs, data analytics, AI software'. Against that, it also says students will 'use AI tools selectively and strategically alongside human-centred HR practice'. The coding content cannot be judged until Napier sends the compulsory module list.

MSc International Business Management Non-technical £20,540 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £20,540 for a January 2027 start. That is the 2026/27 rate, and Napier's India guide puts January 2027 entry under its 2026/27 fee table. It is one fee for the whole 18-month route (no per-annum note). £21,365 for a September 2027 start (2027/28 rate). Possible reductions for an Indian self-funder: the South Asia Scholarship gives £3,000 off one-year courses for June 2026, September 2026 or January 2027 starts (limited places, awarded once the deposit is paid), and £500 off for paying in full 30 days before the start. Napier quotes a deposit from £6,000 (stated for September 2026).
Length: 1 year headline. A January 2027 start runs 18 months: taught January to April 2027, summer break, taught September to December 2027, final project January to April 2028. A September 2027 start runs 12 months.
Start and deadline: Yes. 'Apply for January 2027' is live. Teaching starts on 18 January 2027 (Trimester 2 runs 18 January to 15 May 2027). No course-specific January welcome timetable is published yet. The September 2027 fallback starts 13 September 2027.
Entry: Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above in any discipline. Lower qualifications may be considered with enough relevant professional work experience.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall in her bachelor's degree. Napier's India page sets one threshold for every Indian university, with no tiering by NIRF rank.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5. She may be considered without a test if her degree was taught and examined in English within the last 2 years. If she graduated 2 to 5 years before the start, she also needs 65% or more in Class XII English.
Accreditation: The course itself has no professional accreditation (no CIM, CMI or CIPD). The Business School is AACSB-accredited.
Compulsory modules: Napier lists these indicative modules and does not mark which are core or optional: Business Economics and Finance in a Global Environment (SOE11146); Creating Business Excellence and Marketing (SOE11112); Intercultural Business Communication (IBC11101); Global Marketing (MKT11104); HRM in an International Context (HRM11111); Leadership, Strategy and Innovation (HRM11119); Research Methods (SOE11131); Research Skills (TBS11109); Dissertation (TBS11130, 40 credits); Skills for Success (TBS11108, 0 credits, pass/fail). Their credits add up to 200. The final project looks like either Research Methods with the Dissertation, or Research Skills with a Capstone Project (TBS11110, which is not on ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory or listed module teaches programming, ML, LLM or NLP, or building technology. The most numerical content is business numeracy. SOE11146 covers economics concepts and financial-report analysis, assessed by a presentation and a report on a FTSE 100 company's accounts. Research Methods includes 'quantitative workshops to review analysis approaches'. Research Skills covers an 'understanding of secondary data analysis and visualisation' plus an essay on ethical AI use. Global Marketing uses digital marketing tools only as a user. Skills for Success covers Office 365 and LinkedIn branding. The Capstone alternative is a 7,000-word management report.

MSc Marketing with Sustainability Non-technical £20,540 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £20,540 for a January 2027 start. This is the 2026/27 rate, and it is paid in the start year: the January payment plans run from February to July. A September 2027 start pays £21,365, the 2027/28 rate. The India guide also lists a £500 discount for paying in full 30 days before registration, and a limited South Asia Scholarship of £3,000 for a 1-year course.
Length: Full time, 1 year of study. It takes 12 months from a September start and 18 months from a January start, so a January 2027 start runs past 12 months.
Start and deadline: Yes. Applications are open for January 2027. Trimester 2 of the university calendar starts on 18 January 2027.
Entry: A UK Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above, in any discipline. Lower grades may be considered with relevant work experience.
Her bar from Amity: A bachelor's degree with 55% overall or above, from Napier's India page. That page has no university tier list.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with no component below 5.5. She may not need a test if her English-taught degree ended within 2 years of the course start. If it ended 2 to 5 years before, she also needs 65% or more in Class XII English.
Accreditation: The page shows the CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) logo under 'Accredited by'. The Business School is AACSB accredited.
Compulsory modules: Six taught 20-credit modules, plus Research Methods or Research Skills, plus Skills for Success (no credits), plus a Dissertation or Capstone Project. The named sustainability core is Sustainable Supply Chain Management; Marketing, Sustainability and Ethical Perspectives; and Marketing for Sustainable Future. Principles and Practice of Marketing and Consumer Insights are also listed. Global Marketing and Strategic Brand Management are given as example options. The module list is indicative and does not mark each module as core or option.
Tech evidence: No module teaches programming, ML, LLM or NLP. Assessments are reports, essays, presentations and debates. Research Methods has 'quantitative workshops to review analysis approaches' but is assessed by a 4000-word proposal, and Research Skills is an equal alternative for that slot. Global Marketing uses 'contemporary marketing digital tools' only as a user. Skills for Success covers My Napier, Office 365 and a LinkedIn simulation.

MSc Marketing with Festival & Event Management Non-technical £20,540 · January 2027 · 18 months from January

Fee: £20,540 for a January 2027 start and £21,365 for a September 2027 start (Overseas and EU rate, 2026/27 and 2027/28 columns). The page does not say in words which column January starters pay. Napier's calendar puts 18 January 2027 in the 2026-2027 year, the India guide lists 2026/27 PG fees at £20,540, and January starters pay on a February to July plan. No extra charge is stated for the 18-month January route, but Napier warns of a possible annual increment while enrolled. The deposit is about £6,000. A South Asia Scholarship of £3,000 for a one-year course is given first come, first served.
Length: Full-time and in person at the Craiglockhart campus in Edinburgh. A September start takes 12 months. A January start takes 18 months, with a three-month summer break after the first taught trimester. Napier's 2027 guide says January starters study January to April, break for the summer, study September to December, and complete the degree January to April of the following year.
Start and deadline: Yes, and applications are open now ('Apply for January 2027'). Teaching starts 18 January 2027, which is Trimester 2 on Napier's general term dates. No course-specific date is published. September 2027 is also offered, but its apply button is not live yet.
Entry: Bachelor (Honours) degree at 2:2 or above, in any discipline. Lower qualifications may be considered with relevant industry experience.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall in her bachelor's degree. Napier's India page sets one bar for all Indian universities, with no ranking tiers.
English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall, with no component below 5.5. She may be considered without a test if her degree was taught and examined in English and finished within the last 2 years. If it finished 2 to 5 years before the course starts, she also needs 65% or more in Class XII English.
Accreditation: CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) accredited degree, shown on the course page under 'ACCREDITED BY'. The Business School holds AACSB accreditation at school level. There is no CMI or CIPD accreditation. The Digital Marketing Strategy module is separately accredited by the IDM.
Compulsory modules: Not published. Napier lists 14 indicative modules in alphabetical order with no core or optional labels. Thirteen carry 20 credits (260 in total, against 120 taught credits), so the list mixes core and optional modules. The modules are: Analytics and AI for Marketing Strategy; Consumer Insights; Contemporary Issues in Festivals and Events; Developing Intercultural Competence in the Workplace (no 2026/7 delivery listed); Digital Marketing Strategy; Festival and Event Management; Global Marketing; Marketing Communications; Principles and Practice of Marketing; Research Methods (leads to a dissertation); Research Skills (leads to a Capstone Project); Skills for Success (0 credits, pass/fail); ...
Tech evidence: I read all 14 module descriptors on modules.napier.ac.uk. None mentions programming, Python, R, SQL, machine learning, LLMs, NLP, chatbots or APIs. The only analytics module is MKT11127 Analytics and AI for Marketing Strategy, which runs in Trimester 1 only. Its tool use is user-level: 'Computer labs will give you hands-on experience in analytics and AI tools', and it is assessed by a recorded presentation and 'a practice-based portfolio assessment consisting of analytics exercises and a 1,000-word commentary'. Napier does not say whether it is core here. It is missing from the plain MSc Marketing list and from the Hong Kong version's structure, so it is probably optional. If admissions say ...

Fee: £21,365 for September 2027 entry (2027/28 Overseas and EU rate). £20,540 is the 2026/27 rate a January 2027 start would pay, but that intake is not open. Napier's India PG guide (2026/27) also offers a South Asia Scholarship of £3,000 for a one-year course (first come, first served on paying the deposit) and £500 off for paying in full at least 30 days before registration.
Length: 12 months for a September 2027 start. Trimester 1 starts 13 September 2027 and Trimester 3 of 2027-2028 ends 26 August 2028. The page says January starts last 18 months with a three-month summer break, but no January 2027 intake is open.
Start and deadline: No. There is no January 2027 intake listed or open. The course page's general text still says "Typical entry points to this course are in January and September" and "There is also a January start option for this course". But the page has no Start date field and no Apply block. Its sibling, MSc International Business Management, shows "Start date: Jan" and "Apply for January 2027".

Business options were Global Marketing, Marketing Communications, Principles and Practice of Marketing, Organisational Change and Management, Business Skills for ...
Tech evidence: Every module on Napier's last published list is non-technical when judged by its descriptor. IBC11101 covers theories of culture and communication. Research Methods is assessed by a 4,000-word research proposal. The Dissertation can be qualitative. Global Marketing uses digital marketing tools only as a user.

Fee: £21,365 for a September 2027 start (2027/28 'Overseas and EU' column). There is no January start, so no January fee applies; £20,540 is the 2026/27 rate for September 2026 entrants. The South Asia Scholarship (£3,000 for one-year courses) is currently published only for June 2026, September 2026 or January 2027 starts, so it does not yet cover September 2027.
Length: 1 year full time, September entry only. A September 2027 start runs from Trimester 1 on 13 September 2027 to the end of Trimester 3 on 26 August 2028 (university term dates; students arrange their own placement in Trimester 3).
Start and deadline: No January 2027 intake: 'Entry point to this course is in September.' The page only offers 'Apply for September 2027'. Next start: 13 September 2027.
Entry: Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:2 or above in any discipline.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall in the bachelor's degree, from Napier's India entry page. All Indian universities are treated the same, with no tiers.
English: IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with no component below 6.5, which is above Napier's standard of 6.0 with 5.5. This may be waived if her degree was taught and examined in English within two years of the start. If the degree was finished two to five years before the start, she also needs 65% or more in Class XII English.
Accreditation: None. It is not accredited by CIM, CMI or CIPD. The page says only 'developed in collaboration with the Scottish Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA)'. The course belongs to the School of Arts and Creative Industries, so the Business School's AACSB accreditation does not cover it.
Compulsory modules: Campaign Creation (JAC11111, 40 credits), Concept Creation (DES11168, 40), Digital Creative (JAC11127, 20), Planning in Advertising (DES11133, 20) and Major Project Portfolio in Advertising Practice (DES11135, 60). Together these make 180 credits, the whole MSc, so every module is compulsory and there are no options. Napier marks the list 'indicative only'. JAC11111 and JAC11127 show no 2026/7 occurrence in the module catalogue, so the Trimester 2 module titles may change.
Tech evidence: Every module is about creative or strategic advertising, and all are assessed by campaign portfolios. DES11168 is assessed through '6 Advertising Campaigns ... approx 6 Slides (Copy plus Images)'. JAC11127's most data-like outcome only asks students to 'Examine key elements of consumer behaviour, tribalism, market segmentation, data capture and its use in digital contexts', and names no tools and no code. DES11133 asks students to 'Critically appraise differing research methodologies to generate audience engagement and insight'. None of the five descriptors mentions programming, ML, LLM or NLP.

Length: 1 year full-time for the MSc (PGDip 9 months, PGCert 6 months). It starts in September only.

Media and Public Relations MA Non-technical £21,950 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £21,950 in total for a January 2027 start. This is the 2026/27 rate, the same as a September 2026 start. £22,750 for a September 2027 start. A deposit is required and is subtracted from the total, and January 2027 visa applicants must pay 70% of tuition by 4 December 2026.

Visa applicant deadlines are: application 20 November 2026, deposit 27 November 2026, CAS request 4 December 2026, and 70% tuition 4 December 2026. No course-specific first day is published.

Entry: The course page asks for a '2:2 degree or equivalent professional qualification. We can give special consideration to you if you have significant work experience.'

For Indian applicants, the India page asks for 'First class classification or a B grade or 60%'.

The January 2027 start has a normal registration of 16 months, from January 2027 to dissertation submission at the end of May 2028, with a summer break in 2027. The university says only 12 of those months are actually spent in the course. Maximum registration for the January intake is 28 months. Both Semester 1 core modules and the dissertation fall in 2027/28. Source: 2026-27 programme specification, sections 4 and 16, and Appendix 1.
Start and deadline: Yes, the January 2027 intake is open. The course page gives no exact day. The University calendar shows a January Welcome Week from 4 to 8 January 2027 and semester two teaching from 11 January 2027. The deadlines are 20 November 2026 for the application, 27 November 2026 for the deposit, and 4 December 2026 for the CAS request and 70% of the tuition.
Entry: The course page asks for a 2:2 degree or an equivalent professional qualification, with special consideration for significant work experience. The programme specification says 'good second class honours' in media, communication, politics, sociology or cultural studies, but accepts other fields at the programme team's discretion.
Her bar from Amity: First class, a B grade, or 60% from an Indian university. This one bar applies to all Leicester Masters degrees.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in each of the four skills. Amity is not on Leicester's list of Indian degrees that waive English. The equivalents table counts Standard XII at 70% (National or State Board) as equal to IELTS 6.5 for postgraduate applicants.
Accreditation: None named.
Compulsory modules: For a January 2027 start: in January to June 2027 she takes MS7080 Analysing Meaning in Advertising, MS7081 Advertising and Promotion in the Digital Age and MS7084 Advertising Creativity, plus one option. In September 2027 to January 2028 she takes MS7147 Advertising in Society, MS7400 Media Research Methods and MS7031 Advertising for a Client, plus one option. She then writes the MS7012 Dissertation (60 credits) and submits it at the end of May 2028.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module mentions programming, machine learning, LLMs or NLP. MS7400 covers research theory, ethics, and collecting and analysing social science data. The programme specification mentions 'use of quantitative data analysis software', which means using a package, as the brief allows. MS7081 uses real ad case studies, MS7080 is cultural analysis, and MS7084 is creative campaign work and pitching. MS7031 and MS7147 have no published description in any year, but the course page describes the assessment as campaign analysis, creative briefs, essays and research methods assignments. The optional MS7087 'Critical Approaches to Data Analytics' is critical theory (surveillance ...

Digital Media and Society MA Non-technical £21,950 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £21,950 for a January 2027 start, which is the 2026/27 rate shared with September 2026 starters. £22,750 for a September 2027 start. A deposit is needed, and for January 2027, 70 percent of the fee (about £15,365) is due by 4 December 2026.
Length: The course page says "1 year, full-time", but that 12-month registration applies only to a September start. For a January 2027 start, the normal registration period is 16 months and the maximum is 28 months. January starters take semester 2 modules from January 2027, break for the summer, take semester 1 modules from September 2027, start the dissertation in January 2028 and submit it at the end of May 2028. The specification says only 12 of those months are actually spent studying. The September intake runs 12 months (maximum 24) and the dissertation is submitted in September.
Start and deadline: Yes. The course page lists a January 2027 start but gives no exact day. Semester two runs from 11 January 2027 on the University term-dates table, and January entrants start with semester 2 modules, so teaching most likely begins on 11 January 2027. The visa deadlines for a January 2027 start are: application 20 November 2026, deposit 27 November 2026, and CAS request plus 70 percent of the tuition by 4 December 2026.
Entry: The course page asks for a 2:2 degree or equivalent professional qualification, and gives special consideration for significant work experience. For Indian applicants, the India page asks for a Bachelors degree with a First class classification, a B grade or 60 percent.
Her bar from Amity: First class, B grade or 60 percent. This comes from Leicester's India page and applies to every Indian university. Amity is not named separately.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in each of listening, reading, speaking and writing. Amity is not on the India page's list of universities whose degrees waive the English test. Leicester accepts Standard XII (National or State Board) at 70 percent as equal to IELTS 6.5 for postgraduate applicants, so her Class XII English mark may replace IELTS. She should confirm this with pgadmissions@le.ac.uk.
Accreditation: None. No professional body (CIM, CMI or CIPD) is named on the course page or in the 2026-27 programme specification.
Compulsory modules: There are six core modules. They are The Sociology of Digital Media (MS7060 on the course page, MS7160 in the specification), The Politics of Digital Media (MS7061), Digital Media, Online Persuasion and Behavioural Change (MS7224), Critical Approaches to Data Analytics and the Digital Economy (MS7087), Media Research Methods (MS7400) and Digital Media in Everyday Life (MS7043). The student also does the Media and Communication Dissertation (MS7012, 60 credits) and picks one option module in each semester. A January 2027 starter takes MS7224, MS7087 and MS7043 first, then the sociology module, MS7400 and MS7061 from September 2027, then the dissertation from January to May 2028.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module describes coding, ML, LLM, NLP or building technology. MS7087 is critical theory despite its title: 'a critical understanding of the implications that new technologies and platforms have on social, economic and political life ... point to the function critical theory and its continued relevance ... case studies to ground this critique'. MS7400 is general research methods: 'apply the principles of research ethics ... collect, manage, analyse and interpret social science research data'. MS7224 covers 'the main principles of persuasion that operate online'. MS7060, MS7061 and MS7043 are sociology and politics of media, and the dissertation is a critical research project. ...

Digital Marketing and Analytics MSc Non-technical if she skips some options £24,250 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: January 2027 start: £24,250, which is the 2026-27 rate. September 2027 start: £26,000. This is one fee for the whole MSc, and the deposit is taken off the total. January 2027 starters must pay 70% of tuition (£16,975 by arithmetic) by 4 December 2026. Optional CIM student membership costs £65 a year.
Length: 12 months full-time. A January 2027 start runs from January 2027 to January 2028: MK7001 and MK7088 from January to April, MK7010 and MK7011 from May to July, then the 60-credit dissertation or placement from July to January. Normal registration is 12 months and the maximum is 24. Students on a 12-month programme that starts in January get no summer vacation.
Start and deadline: Yes. Visa applicants must apply by 20 November 2026, pay the deposit by 27 November 2026, and request the CAS and pay 70% of tuition by 4 December 2026. No exact start day is published for this postgraduate intake. The University's January calendar has Welcome Week on 4-8 January 2027 and teaching from 11 January 2027, so she should plan to arrive by 4 January 2027 and confirm with ulsb@le.ac.uk.
Entry: The course page asks for a good honours degree or its equivalent, or a postgraduate diploma, or a relevant graduate-level professional qualification. The programme spec gives the typical bar as an upper second-class (2:1) honours degree. For Indian degrees the bar is First class, B grade or 60%.
Her bar from Amity: A bachelors degree from an Indian university with First class, a B grade or 60%. The India page sets this one bar for all Indian universities, so it covers Amity Noida.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in each of the four parts. An Amity degree does not waive it, and India is not on the English-medium countries list. Leicester lists Standard XII (National or State Board) at 70% as equal to IELTS 6.5 for postgraduate taught applicants from India. She should confirm this with pgadmissions@le.ac.uk.
Accreditation: Accredited by CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing), with exemptions from some modules of CIM's Certificate in Professional Digital Marketing and Certificate in Professional Marketing. It has no CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Four 30-credit core modules: MK7010 Marketing Management and Practice; MK7011 Consumers, Brands and Digital Communications Strategy; MK7001 Digital Transformation and Digital Responsibility; MK7088 Social Media and Marketing Analytics (called 'Producing and Managing Digital Content' on the 2027 page). She then takes one 60-credit option: MK7029 Dissertation (Digital Marketing), MK7002 AI Agent Solutions in Business Project, or Placement in Business. The 2027 page lists only the Dissertation and the Placement.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module description mentions coding, ML, LLM or NLP. MK7088 is content work: 'practical and creative elements of designing materials for digital marketing campaigns'. MK7001 covers 'artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, digital platforms, and automation' as strategy and ethics topics. MK7010 covers 'ethical, data-informed decision-making'. MK7011 covers consumer behaviour, branding and communications. She should avoid option MK7002, where students 'build functional AI agents' in 'Microsoft Copilot Studio and Power Automate'. The Dissertation can be 'a more theoretically focused piece of work'. One caveat: the programme spec still lists a 'seminar Introduction to SPSS, ...

MSc Management (People Analytics) Some data or analytics £24,250 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: January 2027 start: £24,250 for the whole MSc. This is the 2026/27 entry fee and usually stays fixed for the course. The minimum deposit is £3,000 to get a CAS, and 70% of the tuition fee is due by 4 December 2026. The September 2027 fee is not published, because no 2027 course page exists yet (/2027 redirects to the 2026 page).
Length: 1 year full-time, with a normal registration of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months. A January start is not longer. The taught modules run in Teaching Periods 2 and 3, then the 60-credit dissertation or placement runs across Teaching Periods 4 and 1, finishing in the 2027/28 academic year. There is no summer vacation for 12-month programmes.
Start and deadline: Yes. The January 2027 intake is open ('Start date: January 2027'; 'January each year, September each year'). Visa applicants must apply by 20 November 2026, pay the deposit by 27 November 2026, and request the CAS and pay 70% of tuition by 4 December 2026. No official page gives the exact first day. The University calendar's '11 January 2027' covers undergraduates only, and the postgraduate page lists only the Christmas vacation, ending 3 January 2027.
Entry: A good UK honours degree or its equivalent, a postgraduate diploma, or a relevant graduate-level professional qualification. No subject restriction or work experience is stated.
Her bar from Amity: A first class, a B grade or 60% in a Bachelors degree from an Indian university. The India page applies the same bar to every Indian university.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing. The test must be under two years old at the course start. Equivalents include TOEFL iBT 90 and PTE 61. An Amity degree does not count as proof of English. Possible waiver: the equivalents table accepts 'India (PGT applicants)' National or State Board Standard XII at 70% in place of IELTS 6.5. She should ask pgadmissions@le.ac.uk which Class XII mark this refers to.
Accreditation: AMBA (Association of MBAs) only. The course page and programme specification do not mention CIPD, CMI or CIM.
Compulsory modules: Four compulsory 30-credit modules, with no taught options. For a January start, Teaching Period 2 (her first block) has MN7048 Management Inquiry and Strategy in the Age of AI and MN7052 People Analytics with Management. Teaching Period 3 has MN7031 The Global Business Environment and MN7046 Risk Analysis and Organisational Behaviour. She then takes one 60-credit capstone: MN7058 Dissertation (10,000 words), or MK7006 Placement in Business (8-week virtual internship plus a business project) for the 'with Professional Practice' title.
Tech evidence: The compulsory MN7052 is statistical. It aims to give 'the strategies, analytical techniques and statistical skills needed to address contemporary human resource challenges', and 'You will learn how statistical modelling and evidence-based approaches can be applied to the management of people'. The pathway aim is to 'Apply quantitative and analytical tools to human capital challenges'. The 2026 and 2027 module pages and the 36-page programme specification name no programming, ML, LLM or NLP. The only software named is spreadsheets, plus 'statistical packages, qualitative coding software' for the dissertation. MN7048 ('in the Age of AI') is a strategy and research-methods module, not AI ...

Global Media and Communication MA Modules not checked £21,950 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £21,950 in total for a January 2027 start. That is the 2026/27 rate, the same as for September 2026 starters. A September 2027 start costs £22,750. A deposit is required and is taken off the total.
Length: A September start takes 1 year (12 months) full-time, and the dissertation is submitted in September. A January 2027 start has a normal registration period of 16 months, running January 2027 to the end of May 2028. The structure is: semester 2 modules from January 2027; the summer vacation from 7 June to 26 September 2027; semester 1 modules from September 2027; the dissertation from January 2028, submitted at the end of May 2028. The specification says only 12 of those 16 months are spent studying. The course page's "1 year full-time" headline applies to both intakes but does not describe the January calendar. The 2026/27 specification (which covers a January 2027 entry) and the 2027/28 ...
Start and deadline: Yes, the January 2027 intake is open. No course page gives an exact day. The University's semester two starts on 11 January 2027, but that calendar says it applies only to undergraduates. The visa deadlines are: application 20 November 2026, deposit 27 November 2026, CAS request and 70% tuition payment 4 December 2026.
Entry: The course page asks for a '2:2 degree or equivalent professional qualification' and gives special consideration for significant work experience. The 2026-27 programme specification says a 2:1 is normally needed, in media, communication, politics, sociology, social, cultural or political theory, or cultural studies, and a degree in a related field is considered only at the programme team's discretion.
Her bar from Amity: First class, a B grade or 60% from an Indian university. The India page sets this one bar for every Indian university.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in each of the four sections. Amity is not on Leicester's Indian-degree waiver list. The equivalents table accepts 70% in National or State Board Standard XII for IELTS 6.5 from India (PGT applicants). She should confirm this with pgadmissions@le.ac.uk.
Accreditation: None. No professional body (CIM, CMI, CIPD or any other) is named on the course page or in the programme specification.
Compulsory modules: For a January 2027 start, MS7082 Global Communications and Development, MS7006 Global Affairs: Actors, Communication and Culture, and MS7050 AI, Global Media and Communication run from January to May 2027. MS7083 Global Digital Cultures, MS7400 Media Research Methods and MS7086 Global Media: Structures and Representations run from September 2027 to January 2028. The MS7012 Dissertation (60 credits) is submitted at the end of May 2028. She also picks one option in each semester. The 2027 course page leaves MS7050 out of the September 2027 core list, but the 2027-28 specification still lists it as core.
Tech evidence: Every compulsory module except MS7050 has a description, and none of them is technical. MS7400 teaches how 'to collect, manage, analyse and interpret social science research data'. The other cores are about theory and case studies, and the programme is assessed by 'essays, research methods assignments and a dissertation'. MS7050 'AI, Global Media and Communication' is core from January to May 2027, but no description is published. Its 2026 module page shows only the title and code (the raw HTML was checked), the 2027 page is a 404, and the specifications list only the title.

Communication and Media MA Modules not checked £21,950 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: For a January 2027 start the fee is £21,950. This is the 2026/27 entry rate, listed as 'Starting in September 2026 or January 2027'. For a September 2027 start the fee is £22,750. A deposit is needed to secure the place, and it is deducted from the total tuition fee.
Length: The course page headline says "1 year, full-time" for both intakes, but that only matches the September start. A September start runs 12 months (maximum registration 24 months), with the dissertation done over the summer and submitted in September. A January 2027 start has a normal registration of 16 months (maximum 28 months). Semester 2 modules run January to June 2027, followed by a summer break. Semester 1 modules then run from September 2027 in the 2027/28 academic year. The 60-credit dissertation (MS7012) starts in January 2028 and is submitted at the end of May 2028. The university states that only 12 of the 16 months are spent on the course.
Start and deadline: Yes, the January 2027 intake is open. The course page gives no exact day. The University calendar shows Semester two from 11 January 2027 to 4 June 2027, though that calendar is labelled as undergraduate dates. For visa applicants, the application deadline is 20 November 2026 and the deposit deadline is 27 November 2026. The CAS request and 70% tuition payment are due by 4 December 2026.
Entry: The course page asks for a 2:2 degree or an equivalent professional qualification, and significant work experience can get special consideration. The programme specification asks for normally a 2:1 or equivalent in media or communication studies, politics, sociology, social, cultural or political theory, or cultural studies. Degrees in related fields are considered at the programme team's discretion.
Her bar from Amity: Leicester's India page sets one bar for Indian Bachelors degrees: a First class, a B grade or 60%. Amity gets no separate listing.
English: She needs IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in listening, reading, speaking and writing. Amity is not on Leicester's Indian-degree English waiver list. Leicester lists 70% in National or State Board Standard XII as equivalent to IELTS 6.5 for postgraduate taught applicants, so she should confirm with pgadmissions@le.ac.uk whether her Class XII marks can be used instead.
Accreditation: None. No professional body is named on the course pages or the programme specifications, so there is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: The compulsory modules are the same for January 2027 and September 2027 entry: six 15-credit cores plus the MS7012 Dissertation (60 credits, 14,000 words). The six cores are MS7013 Media Audiences and Users, MS7050 AI, Global Media and Communication, MS7310 Strategic Communication (called "Strategic Communications Management" on the web page), MS7109 Contemporary Issues in Media and Cultural Studies (the course page links it as MS7009), MS7400 Media Research Methods and MS7002 Media and Communication Theory. For January 2027 entry, the order is: - Semester 2 of 2026/27: MS7013, MS7050 and MS7310. - Semester 1 of 2027/28: MS7109, MS7400 and MS7002. - Semester 2 of 2027/28: the MS7012 ...
Tech evidence: MS7050 AI, Global Media and Communication is compulsory in her very first semester, and it stays compulsory for September 2027. Its module page shows only the title and code, and the 2027 page returns 404, so nobody can tell yet whether it involves building or coding anything. The other five cores read as theory and social science research. MS7400 covers how to 'collect, manage, analyse and interpret social science research data', and the programme specification mentions 'specialist software for the analysis of qualitative and quantitative data', which fits point-and-click SPSS or NVivo use.

Her bar from Amity: India page: "If you hold a Bachelors degree from an Indian University with a First class classification or a B grade or 60% you will be considered for entry to a Masters degree." The page does not link 60% to "good second class"; it is one bar for all Masters. Amity is not on the page's list of Indian universities accepted as English evidence (Anna, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, Madras, IIM, IIT), so she should plan on IELTS.
English: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent
Accreditation: None shown on the course page (no accreditation badge or section).

#18 AI for Business Intelligence MSc Technical £24,250 · January 2027 · 16 months from January

Fee: January 2027: £24,250 (2026 page label "Starting in September 2026 or January 2027"; MSc and MSc with Industry both £24,250). September 2027: £25,100 (2027 page label "Starting in September 2027"). "An additional fee will be charged if a placement is secured."
Length: Header "12-28 months, full-time". Apply table: MSc and MSc with Professional Practice "12-16 months full-time"; MSc with Industry "24-28 months, full-time". The course page does not say which intake takes 16 months. The PG term-dates page refers to "a 16-month programme starting in January", which suggests a January start runs about 16 months against 12 for September. This is an inference, not stated on the course page.
Start and deadline: January 2027 and September 2027. No April or February intake. The 2026 page shows "Start date: January 2027"; the 2027 page shows January 2027 and September 2027.

Entry: "2:2 degree in Maths or related subject (eg. Physics) or equivalent international qualification. If your background is in computer science we will assess your student transcript." Same on the 2026 and 2027 pages, curl and Firecrawl.
Her bar from Amity: Subject comes first: the degree must be in Maths or a related subject such as Physics, so a non-Maths Amity degree does not qualify at any percentage. The India page's general Masters bar is "First class classification or a B grade or 60%".
English: IELTS 6.0 or equivalent

Artificial Intelligence for Brand Management MSc Some data or analytics £24,795 · January 2027 · 15 months from January

Fee: £24,795 for a January 2027 start. January 2027 falls in the 2026/27 academic year, so it pays the '2026/7 entry' fee, charged once for the full-time course ('Full-time – fee applies for one year'). A placement year costs £1,955 more.

Tech evidence: The compulsory module MG5YYY covers analytics: 'collect, analyse, and interpret digital branding/marketing data' with 'hands-on use of analytics platforms, data visualisation tools, and AI technologies'. The tools it names are ones you use, not build: 'Canva AI, ChatGPT, Google Analytics 4, Power BI and Tableau Public', for 'campaign analytics, dashboard creation'.

#19 Business Intelligence and Digital Marketing MSc Technical £24,795 · January 2027 · 15 months from January

Fee: £24,795 per year for "2026/27 entry" (curl and Firecrawl agree), plus "£1,955 placement year". This is the January 2027 fee, because Brunel counts that intake as "January 2027 of the 2026/27 academic year" (Vice-Chancellor's award terms). September 2027 is 2027/28 entry and no fee is published yet. The page says "Fees quoted are per year and are subject to an annual increase."
Length: September start: 1 year full-time, 1 year with internship, or 2 years with placement. A January start runs longer: 15 months full-time, or 19 or 27 months with placement. Rendered page (Firecrawl): "This course can be studied 1 year full-time, 1 year full-time with placement or 2 years full-time with placement, starting in September.

Her bar from Amity: Brunel publishes no Indian percentage. The country-selector data behind the course page, row "India - Bachelor's degree" at "Second Lower" (the 2:2 level this course uses), says: "Institution Dependent - please check with admissions". Brunel's India page: "If you are domiciled in India and need a student route visa you must submit your course application through one of our trusted educational agencies."
English: "IELTS: 6.5 (min 6 in all areas)" (Pearson 59). For the CAS the page asks for "an IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT test pass". Brunel's India page also lists "Standard XII: CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra Board, West Bengal: 70% IELTS 6.0 and 6.5" as proof of English, so ask admissions whether her Class XII English mark can replace the test.
Accreditation: No course-level accreditation. The page shows only the AACSB and Business Life logos (Business School wide). No CIM, and the course is not on the Business School accreditations and exemptions page.

Management and international business 4

Leadership in the Global Digital World MSc Non-technical £24,795 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £24,795 full-time for 2026/7 entry. A January 2027 starter pays this fee, because Brunel counts January 2027 as part of the 2026/27 academic year. A placement year adds £1,955. The page shows one full-time fee for both routes. The central fees page says the full-time fee 'applies for one year', and the January route's fee is paid in two halves (at registration and in the week starting in April). No extra charge for the 15-month January route is stated. The September 2027 (2027/28) fee is not published yet. The £6,000 VC award needs a 2:1 equivalent. For January it also needs the conditions met and the £5,000 deposit paid by 30 November 2026.
Length: 1 year full-time for a September start and 15 months full-time for a January start. The placement or internship routes run 16 months or 2 years from September, and 19 or 27 months from January.
Start and deadline: Yes. 'Apply January (Full-Time)' is open, and the January route is 15 months. Brunel's 2026/27 calendar gives January Welcome Week as 18 to 22 January 2027, with Spring Semester teaching from 25 January 2027. Brunel recommends applying by 13 November 2026. Business School places are first come, first served, and these courses may stop recruiting early.
Entry: A 2:2 (or above) UK Honours degree or an equivalent, in a related or non-related subject. No work experience is needed. For India, Brunel's equivalence is 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'. Indian applicants who need a Student visa must apply through one of Brunel's approved agents.
Her bar from Amity: Brunel publishes no percentage or CGPA for Indian degrees. It lists every Indian bachelor's classification as 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions', so admissions or a Brunel agent has to confirm the bar for an Amity Noida graduate. The course lookup on the India page returns 'No courses found.'
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each part (Pearson 59 in every part). The India page says 70% in Standard XII English (CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra Board, West Bengal) is considered for courses that need IELTS 6.0 or 6.5. The course page says Student visa applicants need a UKVI IELTS or Trinity SELT, so she should confirm with admissions which rule applies.
Accreditation: This course has no accreditation of its own: no CMI, CIM or CIPD. Brunel Business School as a whole holds AACSB, AMBA, Small Business Charter and UN PRME. Within the school, CIPD covers only the HRM MSc and CIM covers only the Marketing MSc.
Compulsory modules: Compulsory: MG5xx1 Leadership, Strategic Decision-Making and Organisational Management; MG5xx2 Leading Digital Futures; MG5643 Understanding Business and Management Research; MG5642 Dissertation. Options: MG56004 AI Strategy and Transformation, MG55ZZ Innovative AI Leadership and Business Models, MG5577 International and Comparative HRM, MG5564 International Business Strategy, MG5593 International Business Ethics and Corporate Governance, MG5561 International Marketing, MG5662 Managing Global Challenges, MG5579 Operations and Project Management, MG5666 Project Management Tools and Techniques, MG5625 Strategic Digital Marketing, MG5596 Strategic Management. This is a new course (page created ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module teaches programming, machine learning, LLMs or NLP. MG5xx2 Leading Digital Futures is strategy work: students 'critically evaluate emerging digital technologies and assess their strategic implications'. MG5643 is a standard research methods module covering 'quantitative and qualitative methods' with 'training on the most advanced statistical software packages used in management research and practice'. It names no software and states no coding, so SPSS-style point-and-click work is the likely level. The AI options are case-based ('via the use of case study and other materials').

International Business MSc Non-technical if she skips some options £24,795 · January 2027 · 15 months

Fee: £24,795 (2026/27 rate) for a January 2027 start, because January 2027 falls in Brunel's 2026/27 academic year. Brunel's PG fees page says the full-time fee 'applies for one year', and its 2026/27 financial policy caps a January starter at '100% of the full tuition fee'. So the 15-month January route appears to carry one fee, though no course-specific statement says so. Optional placement year £1,955. The September 2027 (2027/28) fee is not yet published, and fees are 'subject to an annual increase'. The VC award gives £6,000 off for a 2:1 equivalent. It needs a £5,000 deposit, with January conditions met by 30 November 2026.
Length: A January 2027 start runs 15 months full-time, longer than 12 months (19 or 27 months with a placement). A September 2027 start runs 1 year full-time (16 months or 2 years with a placement).
Start and deadline: Yes. The course has January and September intakes, and the 'Full-time (Jan)' application route is live. January Welcome Week is 18 to 22 January 2027, and teaching (Spring Semester) starts 25 January 2027. Brunel recommends applying by 13 November 2026. Business School places are first come, first served, and courses may stop recruiting early.
Entry: A 2:2 (or above) UK Honours degree or equivalent, in a related or non-related subject. Work experience is not required.
Her bar from Amity: No Indian percentage or CGPA is published. For this course's 2:2 bar, the course's own India data says 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions', so the mark Amity Noida graduates need must come from admissions. Indian applicants who need a Student visa must apply through one of Brunel's listed agents.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each component (or Pearson 59 in all subscores). The India page also accepts Standard XII English at 70% (CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra or West Bengal boards) for IELTS 6.0 and 6.5 courses. The course page, however, says Student-visa applicants need IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT, so she should confirm with the agent.
Accreditation: School-level only: AACSB, AMBA, Small Business Charter and PRME (the page says the programme 'is recognised by' them). Brunel lists AMBA programme accreditation only for its MBA. This MSc has no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation (CIM is on the Marketing MSc and CIPD on the HRM MSc).
Compulsory modules: MG5564 International Business Strategy; MG5565 International Management; MG5561 International Marketing; MG5607 International Trade; MG5606 The Global Business Environment; MG5643 Understanding Business and Management Research; MG5642 Dissertation. Two electives are added to these.
Tech evidence: The compulsory path is non-technical. MG5643 is a standard research methods module covering 'quantitative and qualitative methods' with 'training on the most advanced statistical software packages'. It is assessed by a research proposal, its 2026-27 reading list recommends the SPSS survival manual (point-and-click SPSS), and no coding is stated. She should avoid optional MG55XX AI Technology for Strategic Decision Makers, which covers 'designing and developing AI applications using Large Lanugane Model (LLM), Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP)'. Safe choices for the two elective slots include MG5577 International and Comparative HRM, MG5593 International ...

Entry: 'A 2.2 (or above) UK Honours degree or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in or a related or non-related subject. Work experience is not required.' The international level is 'Second Lower'.
Her bar from Amity: No published Indian percentage or CGPA. For a 'Second Lower' course, Brunel's India data for a Bachelor's degree says 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'.

MG5xx2 covers 'SCRUM, Agile PM, LEAN, and Six Sigma' with emphasis on 'adaptive leadership, communication'. MG5643 teaches the 'fundamentals of quantitative and qualitative research methods', a standard research-methods module. Avoid optional MG5601 Business Intelligence ('technologies associated with business intelligence, big data and data analytics ... proficiency in application tools'). MG5593, MG5596, MG5581 and MG5680 are safe alternatives.

Human resources 1

Human Resource Management MSc Non-technical £24,795 · January 2027 · 15 months from January

Fee: The international fee is £24,795 for 2026/27 entry, and this covers a January 2027 start because Brunel puts January 2027 in the 2026/27 academic year. The page shows one fee for the 15-month January route. New international January starters pay 50% at enrolment and 50% in March, and Brunel states no extra charge for the extra three months. The course page lists the placement year at £1,955, but Brunel's provisional 2026/7 fee table lists a PGT 12-month placement year at £1,385. The September 2027 (2027/28) fee is not published yet, and the page says fees are per year and subject to an annual increase.
Length: A September start runs 1 year full-time, or 16 months or 2 years with a placement. A January start runs 15 months full-time, or 19 or 27 months with a placement, so it is longer than 12 months.
Start and deadline: Yes. January Welcome Week runs from 18 to 22 January 2027 and Spring Semester teaching starts on 25 January 2027. Brunel recommends applying by 13 November 2026. Business School places go on a first come, first served basis. The Full-time (Jan) application form is live.
Entry: A UK 2:2 Honours degree or an international equivalent is needed, in a related or non-related subject. No work experience is required. For an Indian bachelor's degree at the Second Lower level, Brunel says 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'.
Her bar from Amity: Brunel publishes no Indian percentage or CGPA, and Amity Noida is not named anywhere. Indian degrees are judged as 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'. A PG applicant living in India who needs a Student visa must apply through one of Brunel's listed Indian education agents. The £6,000 VC award needs a 2:1 equivalent, and for India that is also institution-dependent.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with at least 6.0 in every part. The India page says Standard XII English (CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra, West Bengal) at 70% is considered for IELTS 6.0 and 6.5 courses. Brunel accepts a non-UKVI IELTS for direct degree entry.
Accreditation: The programme is accredited by the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development). Active student members get Associate CIPD membership on completion. AACSB is a school-level accreditation. There is no CIM or CMI accreditation.
Compulsory modules: MG5618 Contemporary HRM: Policy, Development and Evaluation; MG3636 Contemporary Human Resource Management in Context; International and Comparative Human Resource Management; MG5594 Knowledge Management, Social Networks and Innovation; MG5595 Organisational Behaviour; MG5643 Understanding Business and Management Research; Dissertation. Optional: MG5565 International Management, MG5593 International Business Ethics and Corporate Governance, MG5596 Strategic Management, Managing Global Challenges.
Tech evidence: No compulsory or optional module teaches programming, ML, LLM or NLP, or building tech. The only quantitative compulsory module is the research-methods module MG5643, which gives 'training on the most advanced statistical software packages'. Its 2026-27 Brunel reading list names the 'SPSS survival manual' (point-and-click SPSS) and has no R or Python text. People analytics stays at the level of using HR metrics, and AI is taught as something to evaluate ('evaluate both the opportunities and the ethical implications of AI in people management').

The only AI module, JR5630, is optional and covers verifying AI output, not building it.

Separately, the VC award takes £6,000 off for a 2:1 equivalent, which needs the £5,000 deposit by 30 November 2026 for January 2027.
Length: September start: 1 year full-time (16 months with a 6 to 12 week placement, 2 years with a one-year extended placement). January start: 15 months full-time (19 months with placement, 27 months with extended placement).
Start and deadline: Yes, through the 'Full-time (Jan)' route, which takes 15 months. January Welcome Week runs 18 to 22 January 2027 and the Spring Semester teaching starts 25 January 2027. The recommended apply-by date is 13 November 2026, and Business School places are first come, first served.
Entry: A 2:2 (or above) UK Honours degree or an international equivalent, in a related or non-related subject. Work experience is not required.
Her bar from Amity: No Indian percentage or CGPA is published. For India, the 2:2 equivalence reads 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'. Indian-domiciled PG applicants who need a Student visa must apply through one of Brunel's approved agents. Confirm how Amity Noida is banded through the agent or admissions.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each part (Pearson 59 in all parts, TOEFL 5 with at least 4.5). The course page asks Student-visa applicants for an IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT. The India page says 70% in Standard XII English (CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra, West Bengal) is considered for IELTS 6.0 and 6.5 courses. Confirm which rule applies.
Accreditation: None at course level, so no CIM, CMI or CIPD. The Business School as a whole holds AACSB, AMBA (the MBA), the Small Business Charter and UN PRME.
Compulsory modules: MG5633 Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management; MG5593 International Business Ethics and Corporate Governance; MG5564 International Business Strategy; MG5656 International Entrepreneurship; MG5565 International Management; MG5643 Understanding Business and Management Research; MG5642 Dissertation (12,000 words). Plus two options from MG5660 Digital Innovation and Technology Management, MG5577 International and Comparative HRM, MG5561 International Marketing, MG5607 International Trade, MG5594 Knowledge Management, Social Networks and Innovation, and SA5633 Sustainable Development Practice and Policies.
Tech evidence: The compulsory modules cover strategy, management, entrepreneurship, ethics, research methods and the dissertation. No description mentions programming, ML, LLM or NLP. MG5643 covers 'quantitative and qualitative methods in management research' and 'understanding research reports'. Its provisional 2026-27 reading list includes an SPSS survival manual and business statistics books as recommended reading, so the most expected is point-and-click SPSS, which is acceptable. The only tech-leaning option, MG5660, takes a management view, and five non-technical options cover the two slots. Assessment is by 'written essays, podcasts, posters or by examination in May'.

International Business and Sustainability MSc Non-technical £24,795 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £24,795 (International, full-time, 2026/27 entry) applies to a January 2027 start, because January 2027 is in Brunel's 2026/27 academic year. Placement year is £1,955. Brunel's rule is 'Full-time – fee applies for one year', and no extra charge for the 15-month January route is published. The deposit is £5,000. The VC Postgraduate International Excellence Award gives £6,000 off to self-funded students with a 2:1 or equivalent starting January 2027, with conditions to be met by 30 November 2026. A September 2027 start falls in 2027/28, and that fee is not published yet (no 2027/28 fee records exist; fees are 'subject to an annual increase').
Length: 1 year full-time from September. 15 months full-time from January, so a January 2027 start runs longer than 12 months. Placement routes are 16 months or 2 years from September, and 19 or 27 months from January.
Start and deadline: Yes, through the 'Full-time (Jan)' route. January Welcome Week runs 18 to 22 January 2027 and the Spring Semester (teaching) starts 25 January 2027. Brunel recommends applying by 13 November 2026. Business School places are first come, first served and may stop recruiting early. Indian applicants who need a visa must apply through one of Brunel's listed India agents.
Entry: 2:2 or above Bachelor (Honours) degree (the page still labels this '2024/5 entry'). Brunel's India equivalence for this band reads 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'. No work experience is required.
Her bar from Amity: No published bar for Amity or any Indian university. Brunel's India rule for a 2:2 is 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions', so admissions decides case by case through the agent.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each part (Pearson 59 in all parts). Brunel's India page also accepts Standard XII English (CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra, West Bengal) at 70% for IELTS 6.0 and 6.5 courses. Confirm with the agent whether that waiver applies to her.
Accreditation: No programme-level accreditation, and no CIM, CMI or CIPD. The page says Brunel Business School holds AACSB, AMBA, UN PRME and Small Business Charter. These are school-level, and AMBA accredits only the Brunel MBA.
Compulsory modules: MG5642 Dissertation; SA5634 Environment and Sustainability for Business; MG5593 International Business Ethics and Corporate Governance; MG5564 International Business Strategy; MG5565 International Management; SA5633 Sustainable Development Practice and Policies; MG5643 Understanding Business and Management Research.
Tech evidence: All seven compulsory modules cover business strategy, ethics and governance, international management, sustainability and policy. None of their descriptions mentions programming, machine learning, LLMs, NLP or data-science tools. The most quantitative content is ordinary research-methods work. MG5643 covers 'both quantitative and qualitative methods in management research' so students can understand 'research reports'. SA5633 teaches 'evidence generation (such as randomised control trials), evidence synthesis and evidence evaluation'. Both are about reading and using evidence, not coding.

Global Healthcare Management MSc Non-technical £22,320 · January 2027 · 15 months from January

Fee: A January 2027 start pays £22,320 full-time. This is the 2026/27 entry fee (Overseas Middle band), and Brunel places January 2027 in the 2026/27 academic year. The page shows one full-time fee for both the 12-month and 15-month routes and does not mention any extra charge for the 3 extra months. Brunel's PG fees page says the full-time fee 'applies for one year'. The September 2027 (2027/28) fee is not published yet, and the page says fees 'are subject to an annual increase'. Applicants from India are not on the UKVI differential list, so they pay a £5,000 deposit and must pay 50% of the year's fee before the CAS is issued. The VC award takes £6,000 off for a 2:1 equivalent, and for a ...
Length: A September start takes 1 year full-time. A January start takes 15 months full-time, so it runs longer than 12 months. Part-time takes 2 years (September or January start) or 27 months (January start). The page lists no placement mode.
Start and deadline: Yes, there is a January 2027 start. January Welcome Week runs from 18 to 22 January 2027, and Spring Semester teaching runs from 25 January 2027 to 30 April 2027.

For an Indian bachelor's degree, Brunel lists the 2:2 equivalent as 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions'. Applicants domiciled in India who need a Student visa must apply through one of Brunel's agents.
Her bar from Amity: Brunel publishes no percentage or CGPA for Indian degrees. For this course's 2:2 bar its India entry reads 'Institution Dependent - please check with admissions', so an Amity Noida degree is judged case by case through admissions or the agent.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in every part (Pearson 59 in all parts, or BrunELT 6.5 with 6.0). The India page says Standard XII English at 70% (CBSE, ICSE, Maharashtra, West Bengal) is accepted for IELTS 6.0 and 6.5 courses. However, the course page says Student visa applicants need an IELTS for UKVI or Trinity SELT pass, so she should confirm with admissions which rule applies.

September start only.
Needs 60 percent and a business-related degree.
IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0.
No CIM accreditation.
Dublin rents are severe.

Marketing 1

MSc in Marketing Recommended Non-technical €17,000 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: EUR 17,000 total for international students. The page gives no academic-year label and says fees are revised annually. There is no January start. No figure is published yet for September 2027, so take EUR 17,000 as the current guide. Automatic merit scholarship for Indian applicants: EUR 3,000 for 60% to 74.99%, EUR 5,000 for 75% or above.
Length: 1 year full time. The taught part runs Sep-Dec and Jan-May, and the dissertation is due in August. September start only.
Start and deadline: No. MSc in Marketing is not on NCI's January intake list, and the course page shows only 'September Starts'. The earliest entry is September 2027, and its exact date is not published yet (the current brochure says 'Start Date Sept 2026').
Entry: A Level 8 honours degree in a cognate discipline, meaning a business-related degree. NCI's India page asks for 2.1 or higher (60%+) with no more than 7 backlogs. RPEL is possible for applicants with extensive professional experience.
Her bar from Amity: She needs 60% or above overall, no more than 7 backlogs, and a business-related Amity degree. The India page has no tiering by institution.

Fee: EUR 17,000 total course fee for international students (course page and central fees page, 'Fees will be revised annually'). A January 2027 start belongs to the 2026-27 cycle (brochure: 'Sept 2026 and Jan 2027'), so it pays EUR 17,000. The September 2027 (2027-28) fee is not published yet, so it is UNVERIFIED. Indian applicants are automatically considered for a merit scholarship: EUR 3,000 for 60% to 74.99%, EUR 5,000 for 75% or above.
Length: Full time. A January start runs Jan-May 2027 and Sep-Dec 2027, with the dissertation due in May 2028 and graduation in November 2028, so it is about 16 months, not 12. A September start finishes with the dissertation in August.

Fee: EUR 17,000 total ("The course fee for international students is €17,000. Fees will be revised annually."). No academic-year label is given, and this is the figure for the January 2027 intake. The September 2027 fee is not published and applications for that intake are not open. The automatic merit scholarship for Indian applicants is EUR 3,000 (60% to 74.99%) or EUR 5,000 (75% or more), so the net fee is EUR 14,000 or EUR 12,000.

Management and international business 2

MSc Business and Management Non-technical £24,300 · January 2027 · 12 months

Fee: £24,300 for a January 2027 start, which pays the 2026/7 rate. £24,300 for a September 2027 start (2027/8 rate). It is charged as an annual course fee. Eligible international students can get a scholarship of £4,000 to £7,000.
Length: 12 months full time. A January 2027 start runs Spring 2027 (taught), then Summer 2027 (Independent Project), then Autumn 2027 (taught). Postgraduate autumn exams end 20 Dec 2027, so it does not run longer than 12 months.
Start and deadline: Yes. The listed start dates are January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028. Postgraduate spring teaching starts Monday 18 January 2027, and no separate induction date is published. If she takes the September 2027 fallback, the postgraduate semester starts Monday 20 September 2027.
Entry: A second class honours degree or equivalent. Applicants without this but with significant relevant work or life experience are encouraged to apply. No work experience requirement is stated.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall. Amity counts as Tier 2, because only Mumbai, Calcutta and Delhi universities get the 50% Tier 1 bar.
English: IELTS Academic or UKVI 6.0 with at least 5.5 in each sub-skill (PTE 60 with 59 in each). It can be waived with Class XII English of 70% or more (CBSE, ISC/ICSE or metro boards including Delhi) plus an MOI letter dated within the last five years.
Accreditation: AACSB, which covers the whole school. This course has no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation. The school also holds the Small Business Charter and is a PRME signatory.
Compulsory modules: All nine modules (180 credits) are compulsory and there are no options. For a January 2027 start: Flying Start Leadership Programme (0), Strategy, Pricing and Competition (20), Innovation Management (20) and Operations Management (20) in Spring. Independent Project (60) in Summer. Fundamentals of Human Resource Management (20), Strategy and the Competitive Environment (20), International Accounting for Managers (10) and Marketing Management (10) in Autumn. September starters take the same modules in a different order.
Tech evidence: None of the nine compulsory module descriptions mentions programming, statistics software, machine learning, LLMs or NLP. The numeracy is light. Strategy, Pricing and Competition is introductory managerial economics ('no prior knowledge is expected!', 'using simple economic models') and is marked by a class test (30%) and a case study (70%). International Accounting for Managers (10 credits) reads accounts 'from a user's perspective' and covers financial ratios. The Independent Project lets her choose 'quantitative and qualitative methods'.

MSc Human Resource Management Non-technical £24,300 · No January start · 12 months

Fee: £24,300 for the September 2027 start (2027/8, international including EU, full time). There is no January 2027 start, so there is no January fee. The 2026/7 rate was also £24,300. The course page says eligible international students could receive a scholarship of £4,000 to £7,000.
Length: 12 months full time: two taught semesters and then a three-month independent study period for the consultancy case study. Part time is 24 months. The only start is September 2027, so the January question does not arise.
Start and deadline: No. There is no January or February 2027 intake. The only next start is September 2027, and the postgraduate autumn semester begins on Monday 20 September 2027. The application form offers only this start, and it is open to international applicants.
Entry: A minimum of a second class honours degree or equivalent. Applicants without this but with significant relevant work or life experience are encouraged to apply.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall. Stirling's India page asks for 50% only from the University of Mumbai, University of Calcutta or University of Delhi (Tier 1), and 55% from a Tier 2 college or university. Amity Noida is not one of the three named Tier 1 universities, so the 55% bar applies.
English: IELTS Academic or UKVI 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each sub-skill (or PTE Academic 62 with 60 in each sub-skill). This course is on Stirling's list of courses excluded from English language waivers, so she cannot use Class XII English marks and must take a test.
Accreditation: Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and graduates get a Level 7 CIPD award. The university is also AACSB accredited.
Compulsory modules: All modules are compulsory in the 2026/27 catalogue (the September 2026 intake; the page says details may change for later years): Flying Start Leadership Programme (0 credits), The Business Context (20), Strategic and Operational HRM (20), Professional Skills and Analytics (20), Employment Relations (20), Equality, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (20), Resourcing and Talent Management (20), Advances in Human Resource Management (20, summer) and Consultancy Case Study (40, summer). The catalogue lists no optional modules, even though the page text talks about choosing specialist HR topics in semester two.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module description mentions programming, Python, R, SQL, statistical software, machine learning, LLM or NLP. The analytics content is at user level. Professional Skills and Analytics covers 'the importance of HR analytics' and is assessed by a case study report 'explaining the basis of your analytics approach' plus a role play. Its outcome is 'evaluating people analytics to provide insight into people solutions'. Flying Start (0 credits, assessed on participation) includes 'Understanding and interpreting business data', and the Consultancy Case Study asks for 'costed recommendations' and return on investment. That is business reasoning, not coding.

Fee: January 2027 start: £21,800 (academic year 2026/7). September 2027 start: £22,500 (2027/8). The course page tags the January 2027 start as AY2026-27 and September 2027 as AY2027-28. The fee is charged per year. Scholarships of £4,000 to £7,000 are available to eligible international students.
Length: 12 months full time ('MSc full-time: 12 months'). No separate length is published for a January start, and the January plan so far lists only the first (spring) semester.
Start and deadline: Yes. The start dates are January 2027, September 2027 and January 2028. Postgraduate spring teaching starts on Monday 18 January 2027.
Entry: A minimum of a second class honours degree or equivalent. Applicants with relevant work or life experience are also encouraged to apply.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall. The India page asks for 55% from a Tier 2 college or university. Tier 1 (50%) covers only Mumbai, Calcutta and Delhi universities, so Amity falls under Tier 2.
English: IELTS Academic or UKVI 6.5 overall with at least 6.0 in each skill (or PTE 62 with 60 in each skill). A waiver is possible with 70% or more in Class XII English from CBSE, ISC or ICSE plus a medium-of-instruction letter dated within the last five years.
Accreditation: CIPR (Chartered Institute of Public Relations) Recognition. The department is also a member of EUPRERA and ECREA. There is no CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: Research Methods (20 credits), Public Relations and Public Communications Theories (20), Strategic Public Relations Planning (20) and Dissertation (60, 12,000 words). Students also pick 20 option credits in autumn and 40 in spring. January starters begin with Strategic Public Relations Planning plus 40 credits of spring options.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module involves coding. Research Methods covers surveys, interviews, focus groups, content analysis and case studies and is assessed by an essay and a report. Strategic PR Planning uses SWOT, PESTLE and media analysis and is assessed by a group presentation and coursework. Two spring options should be avoided: Advanced Social Media Analytics ('Descriptive & inferential statistics', 'Coding and sentiment analysis') and Visual Communication Design (required reading 'Exploratory Programming for the Arts and Humanities'). This matters most for a January start, because 40 option credits are taken in the first semester. Safe non-technical options are Advertising, Digital Culture for ...

Entry: Minimum second-class Honours degree or international equivalent. Relevant work experience may be considered instead.
Her bar from Amity: 55% overall. Amity is not one of the named Tier 1 universities (Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi), so it falls under 'Tier 2'. The India rule reads: '50% from Tier 1 College/University ... or 55% from a Tier 2 College/University.'
English: IELTS Academic or UKVI 6.0 overall, with at least 5.5 in each sub-skill. PTE 60 (59 in each) is also accepted.

Options (60 credits from 9): Advanced Social Media Analytics, Visual Communication Design, Machine Learning, Digital Video Production, Capturing Marketing Effectiveness, Digital Culture for Media Managers, Interactive Media, Advertising, and Strategic Communications Research Placement.
Tech evidence: None of the compulsory modules involves coding. Research Methods covers surveys, content analysis and similar methods, with no software or programming named. Avoid these options: Machine Learning (Python and R, scikit-learn and keras, deep learning for NLP), Advanced Social Media Analytics ('Descriptive & inferential statistics, Coding and sentiment analysis'), and Visual Communication Design (its reading list is about code and programming).

Fee: No January intake. September 2027 start (2027/28): £22,500 international. The 2026/27 fee was £21,800. The fee appears only on the course page; the central fee feed has an empty entry for TXX44-SCP.

MSc Marketing Some data or analytics £31,300 · No January start

Fee: £31,300 for international full-time students entering in 2027 (the 2027/28 year). This is the total for the one-year programme, and the same figure applies to the 9 and 12 month versions. There is no January 2027 start, so there is no January fee. For comparison, the 2026/27 entry fee was £31,000. The India page lists a £10,000 Postgraduate Taught scholarship for September 2027 entry, applied automatically, though 'a limited number of programmes may be excluded'.
Length: There are two versions. The 9 month full-time version runs from September 2027 to June 2028, with 180 credits and no dissertation. The 12 month full-time version runs from September 2027 to September 2028 and includes a dissertation or the Marketing in Practice consultancy project. Both have the same entry requirements and lead to the same award.
Start and deadline: Not offered. The only intake is September 2027, and term starts on Monday 20 September 2027. Exeter's January 2027 list includes MSc Marketing Management instead, and its January start term begins on Monday 11 January 2027.
Entry: A 2:2 Honours degree in any discipline (2027 entry). Applicants below this can be considered if they show exceptional performance in relevant modules, significant relevant work experience or professional qualifications.
Her bar from Amity: She needs the equivalent of a UK 2:2. Exeter's India page says only 'a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)'. It publishes no Indian percentage and no university list, so the exact mark for an Amity Noida degree cannot be verified. Exeter's India team (based in Delhi and Mumbai) can confirm it.

Management and international business 3

MSc International Business Non-technical if she skips some options £31,300 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £31,300 international fee for September 2027 entry (2027/28). This is the total for the one-year programme and is normally paid in two 50% instalments, in November and January. There is no January or February 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. For India, Exeter lists a £10,000 postgraduate taught scholarship for September 2027 entry, applied automatically to eligible offers, though some programmes may be excluded.
Length: 1 year (12 months) full time, running September to September. Teaching is in terms one and two, and term three plus summer go on the business plan, which replaces a dissertation.
Start and deadline: No. Entry is September 2027 only, and the autumn term starts Monday 20 September 2027 (Welcome Week is usually the week before). Exeter's January 2027 list does not include this course. The nearest January option is a separate programme, MSc International Business and Strategy, whose January 2027 term starts Monday 11 January 2027.
Entry: A 2:2 with honours in any discipline (2027 entry). Exeter also considers exceptional performance in relevant modules, significant relevant work experience or professional qualifications.
Her bar from Amity: UK 2:2 equivalent. Exeter's India page asks for 'a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)' and publishes no Indian percentage and no institution list. The exact percentage an Amity graduate needs should be confirmed with Exeter's India office, which has staff in Delhi.
English: Profile B1: IELTS 6.5 overall with no less than 5.5 in any section (PTE 67 with no less than 59). There is a possible waiver for a degree taught and examined in English. It needs a Medium of Instruction letter plus an accepted high school English score, for example Indian Standard XII English at 70% (CBSE or ISC). Amity is not on Exeter's list of recognised English-medium institutions.
Accreditation: The Business School is accredited by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. For the programme itself the page says 'Pending CIPD Approval', so CIPD is not yet granted. There is no CIM or CMI accreditation for the programme. The BEAM045 module content is 'linked with accreditation to CMI ... and ICAEW' examinations, but only at module level.
Compulsory modules: BEAM045 Accounting for International Managers (15); BEMM116 Principles of International Business (15); BEMM264 Current Issues in International Business (15); BEMM384 International Business Plan (30); BEMM388 People Management (15); BEMM800 Foundations to Business Communication (15); ENSM021 AI and Emerging Technologies (15). The remaining 60 credits come from Business and Law options.
Tech evidence: All seven compulsory modules are non-technical when read from their full module specifications. The compulsory ENSM021 module is 'Designed for non-technical innovators, the module develops AI literacy, strategic insight, and ethical judgement', and its 'Workshop: Using AI toolkits' is user-level with no programming stated. BEAM045 'is not intended to turn you into accountants; it is taught from a manager's perspective'. BEMM384 is a business plan that uses a Sage/Hubro business simulation and financial performance analysis, with no coding. She must avoid the optional BEMM827 Marketing Technologies, which says 'Hands-on development of marketing solutions using coding and platform ...

MSc Business and Management Some data or analytics £31,000 · January 2027 · 1 year

Fee: £31,000 for January 2027 entry, which falls in the 2026/27 entry year. The 23 September 2026 version of the page headed this fee 'January 2027 entry'. There is no September 2027 intake because the course runs January only, and no fee for a later intake is published. Indian applicants receive an automatic £7,500 first-year discount for January 2027 entry on this course (deadline 1 December 2026). It can be combined with a 2026/27 Exeter Excellence Scholarship (offer holders can apply until 26 November 2026) up to £10,000 in total.
Length: 1 year full time. The January 2027 cohort has a spring term from Monday 11 January to Friday 26 March 2027, a summer term from Monday 26 April to Friday 2 July 2027 and an autumn term from Monday 20 September to Friday 10 December 2027. That is about 11 months, so it does not run past 12 months. Tuition is billed 50% on 18 January 2027 and 50% on 10 May 2027, with nothing in the autumn term.
Start and deadline: Yes. Teaching starts on Monday 11 January 2027. Applications close at 23:59 on Monday 4 January 2027, although Exeter may close them earlier, and it recommends meeting offer conditions 4 weeks before the start.
Entry: A 2:2 with honours in any discipline from a recognised university. Exeter also considers exceptional performance in relevant modules, significant relevant work experience or professional qualifications. The course is open to first-time business students.
Her bar from Amity: Exeter's India page asks for 'a relevant Bachelors degree with a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)', and this course needs the 2:2 level. Exeter publishes no Indian percentage or CGPA conversion and no institution list for India, so the exact Amity Noida mark has to be confirmed with Exeter's India office or with admissions.
English: Profile B1 asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no section below 5.5, taken within 2 years of the start. Other accepted tests include PTE 67 with 59 in every skill and Duolingo 120 with 95 in every subscore. Indian Standard XII English at 70% (ISC, CBSE, Delhi and other listed boards) is also accepted if taken within 7 years of the start.
Accreditation: The programme has no accreditation of its own. The Business School is triple accredited (AMBA, AACSB, EQUIS). The course is not accredited by CIM, CMI or CIPD. Exeter gives CIM accreditation only to its marketing MScs, CIPD only to MSc HRM, and CMI only to apprenticeships.
Compulsory modules: The compulsory modules carry 120 credits. They are BEAM045 Accounting for International Managers (15), BEAM052 Corporate Governance and Finance (15), BEMM114 Managing Operations (15), BEMM264 Current Issues in International Business (15), BEMM384 International Business Plan (30), BEMM800 Foundations to Business Communication (15) and BEMM820 Organisational Behaviour (15). The student also picks 60 credits from 10 options: IHRM, Marketing and New Product Innovation, Principles of International Business, Purchasing and Supply Chain Management, Digital Transformation, New Venture Creation, Service Design and Innovation, Business Simulation, Unlocking Innovation and Protecting Innovation.
Tech evidence: BORDERLINE. BEMM114 Managing Operations is compulsory for January 2027 entry, listed with BEAM045, BEAM052, BEMM264, BEMM384, BEMM800 and BEMM820. Its 2026-27 spec runs in Spring Term from 4 Jan 2027. The spec includes building discrete-event simulation models and a group computer simulation study. The spec never mentions programming, Python, R, SQL or coding, so this is analytics-flavoured quantitative content rather than a FAIL. The sweep's PASS missed this. (tiebreak ruling)

MSc Management Some data or analytics £31,300

Fee: International fee for September 2027 entry (2027/28) is £31,300 per year, full time ('Entry year 2027'). The 2026/27 fee was £31,000. There is no January 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. The India page says a £10,000 'Postgraduate Taught - September 2027 entry' scholarship is 'automatically applied to eligible student offers', although 'a limited number of programmes may be excluded'.
Length: Two versions, both full time at Streatham Campus. The 9-month version runs from September 2027 to June 2028. The 12-month version runs from September 2027 to September 2028. Both are worth 180 credits.
Start and deadline: Not available. September 2027 is the only intake. The 2027-28 autumn term runs from Monday 20 September to Friday 10 December 2027. A compulsory 3-day Careers Camp happens in Welcome Week (week 0), the week before term starts. Exeter's January-start alternative in the same field is MSc Business and Management.
Entry: 'A 2:1 with honours or equivalent in any discipline.' It is a transitional programme for students who did not study business, and business graduates are also welcome. Exeter also considers 'exceptional performance in modules relevant to the programme of study, significant relevant work experience or professional qualifications'.
Her bar from Amity: She needs the equivalent of a UK 2:1. Exeter's India page gives no percentage or CGPA conversion. It only says 'a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)' and refers students to each course page. The Amity mark needed is therefore not published, and she should confirm it with Exeter's India office or an authorised agent.
English: Profile B1: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, with no less than 5.5 in any section. Equivalents are PTE Academic 67 with no less than 59 in each skill, or TOEFL iBT 90.
Accreditation: The programme has no professional-body accreditation. It is not accredited by CMI, CIM or CIPD. Exeter's CIM accreditation covers its MSc Marketing courses, CIPD covers MSc HRM, and CMI covers only its apprenticeships. The Business School itself is triple accredited by AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS. One detail: the compulsory accounting module BEAM045 states that its content 'is linked with accreditation to CMI ... and ICAEW ... professional bodies' examinations'.
Compulsory modules: The compulsory modules total 150 credits: BEAM045 Accounting for International Managers (15), BEMM149 Business Project (30, group consultancy for a real client), BEMM170 Global Career Management (15), BEMM389 Business Analytics and Research Skills (15), BEMM456 Organisational Management and Leadership (15), BEMM807 Strategic Marketing and Management in a Sustainable World (30, AI-integrated), and BEMM808 Sustainable Business Challenges (30). The 9-month version adds one 30-credit option slot chosen from Banking and Financial Services, Purchasing and Supply Chain Management, Sustainability and Behaviour Change, Entrepreneurship: New Venture Creation, Entrepreneurship: Business Simulation, ...
Tech evidence: The compulsory module BEMM389 is analytics-flavoured: 'increase your confidence with data, mainly quantitative in nature', covering 'Descriptive, diagnostic and predictive analytics' and 'the potentials and pitfalls of particular analytics tools (e.g., Excel / SPSS / R / Python)'. However, its practical outcome is 'Apply spreadsheet software to derive insights from analytics', and it is assessed by a 20-question multiple-choice test and a 10-slide report, so no coding is required. BEAM045 is quantitative accounting with a 2-hour exam. BEMM807 expects students to 'use AI during classes and as part of the assessment process', which means using generative AI as a tool, not building it. The ...

Fee: £31,000 international, full time. This is the total for the one-year programme, for January 2027 entry, which falls in Exeter's 2026/27 fee cycle. Payment is 50% by 18 January 2027 and 50% by 10 May 2027. The UK fee is £18,600. The course has no September 2027 intake, and no January 2028 fee is published yet.

Start and deadline: Yes. Entry year is January 2027, and the spring term (teaching) starts Monday 11 January 2027. Applications opened 2 March 2026 and close at 23:59 on Monday 4 January 2027. The course runs in January only, with no September 2027 intake.
Entry: A 2:2 honours degree in any discipline from a recognised university. Exceptional relevant module marks, significant work experience or professional qualifications are also considered.
Her bar from Amity: UK 2:2 equivalent. Exeter's India page says only 'a relevant Bachelors degree with a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)'. It publishes no Indian percentage, CGPA or institution list, so the exact Amity Noida mark is not published and must be confirmed with Exeter's India team. Scholarship: the India page lists 'Postgraduate Taught - January 2027 entry' among its £10,000 India awards, applied automatically. A 2026/27 Exeter Excellence Scholarship can be requested until 26 November 2026, with a combined cap of £10,000.

MA Media and Public Relations Non-technical £26,300 · No January start · 1 year

Fee: £26,300 full-time (£13,150 part-time) per year for 2027 entry, which means a September 2027 start in the 2027/28 year. There is no January 2027 intake, so no January fee applies. Exeter's India page also gives an automatic £10,000 scholarship for 'Postgraduate Taught - September 2027 entry' on most programmes.
Length: 1 year full time, 2 years part time. Only a September 2027 start. Autumn term 2027-28 begins Monday 20 September 2027, and the dissertation spans the spring and summer terms, so the course does not run past the usual 12 months.

Entry: A 2:2 Honours degree or above (or equivalent), from any academic background.
Her bar from Amity: She needs an Indian degree equivalent to a UK 2:2. Exeter's India page says '2:1 or 2:2' depending on the course, and this course asks for a 2:2. Exeter publishes no Indian percentage, CGPA or institution list, so the exact mark has to be confirmed with Exeter's India office.
English: Profile B1: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no section below 5.5. Indian Standard XII English at 70% (CBSE, ISC, Delhi and other listed boards) is also accepted if taken within 7 years of the start. Amity is not on Exeter's English-medium institution list.

Her bar from Amity: The course asks for a 2:2. The India page only says 'a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)'.

Entry: A 2:1 degree with honours in a management related discipline. Evidence of mathematical/quantitative/qualitative ability is required. Degrees in psychology, sociology, and related fields are also considered.
Her bar from Amity: UK 2:1 equivalent in a management-related discipline. Exeter's India page gives no Indian percentage or CGPA, only 'a grade equivalent to a UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)', so the exact percentage for Amity is unverifiable. Confirm it with Exeter's India office.
English: Profile B1: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, no less than 5.5 in any section. Alternative: Indian Standard XII English at 70% (CBSE, ISC, Delhi and other listed boards), valid if taken within 7 years of the programme start.
Accreditation: No programme-level accreditation (no CIM, CMI or CIPD). The Business School is triple accredited: AMBA, AACSB, EQUIS.

Tech evidence: BEMM829 (compulsory, 30 credits) covers 'Advanced Statistical Modelling', 'Advanced Text Analysis', 'Confirmatory Factor Analysis' and 'Moderation and Mediation Analysis'. One ILO reads 'Demonstrate proficiency in using advanced research software tools to conduct and present sophisticated data analyses'. No software is named, and the module is assessed by a 5,000-word written assignment. BEMM065 teaches 'the basics of statistical analysis' and is assessed by a 30% assignment and a 70% two-hour exam. No compulsory module names programming, ML, LLM or NLP, but there is no non-quantitative path.

MSc International Business (Online) Some data or analytics £10,000 · January 2027 · 24 months

Fee: £10,000 total for the whole MSc, the same for home and international students, paid module by module. The same figure is shown for January 2027 and May 2027 entry, and it may rise slightly with inflation if study takes longer than two years. No September 2027 figure is published. The online MSc is not on the list for Exeter's £7,500 India scholarship for January 2027.
Length: 24 months, online and part-time ('Minimum 24 months'). Every start date, including January, takes at least 24 months. Breaks between modules are allowed if the degree is finished within five years.
Start and deadline: Yes. Applications for the January 2027 start are open (portal: 'to start in January 2027'). The online spring term runs Monday 11 January 2027 to Friday 7 May 2027, and the portal says the deadline is 'To be confirmed'. May 2027 entry is also open. September 2027 entry is not listed yet, and the online autumn term 2027 starts Monday 6 September 2027.
Entry: A 2:2 with honours in any discipline from a recognised university, or relevant professional qualifications, or significant work experience.
Her bar from Amity: A UK 2:2 equivalent. Exeter's India page asks only for 'UK Second-class honours (2:1 or 2:2)' and publishes no Indian percentage.
English: Profile B1: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no section below 5.5 (PTE 67 with no skill below 59). Class XII English at 70% from CBSE, ISC or another listed Indian board is also accepted if it is within 7 years of the start.

Tech evidence: BORDERLINE. All 180 credits are compulsory, so there are no optional modules to steer around. None of the six modules mentions coding, ML, LLM or NLP. One compulsory 30-credit module, BEAM081Z Accounting for Managerial Decision Making, is quantitative and analytics-flavoured by its own description. Its ILO says "Apply advanced qualitative and quantitative financial analysis techniques", and the course page says it gives "particular attention to the challenges and opportunities arising from digitalisation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) in accounting". The module is assessed by one written coursework report (Weighting 100, Length 5000 words) plus an ungraded formative set ...

Marketing 2

MSc International Marketing Some data or analytics £17,250 · January 2027 · 16 months from January

Fee: January 2027 start: £17,250 international. This is the course page's 'Academic Year 2026-2027' fee, and RGU's 2026-27 calendar places 1 February 2027 in that session as Semester 2. It is listed as 'Over 1 year, Year 1' with no second-year fee, and it is fixed for the course at the offer-letter rate. For a self-funder from India it falls to £14,250 after the automatic £3,000 international discount. A further £500 comes off for the January 2027 intake if the deposit is paid by 13 November 2026. The deposit is 34% (£4,845). September 2027: UNVERIFIED, because 2027-28 fees are not published yet (2025-26 was £16,670).
Length: January start: 16 months full time on campus. It runs Semester One (Jan to April), a four-week experience (May to Sept), Semester Two (Sept to Dec) and Semester Three (Dec to March), so a February 2027 start ends around March 2028. September start: 12 months. The page FAQ also says '12 - 14 months', which looks like generic wording.
Start and deadline: Yes, on campus, full time, 16 months. Arrival and enrolment open 25 January 2027, teaching starts 1 February 2027 and enrolment closes 5 February 2027. International applications are due 6 November 2026 at 12:00 noon UK time, conditions and deposit by 20 November 2026, and the final CAS is issued 4 December 2026.
Entry: A 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or equivalent in any subject. A lower classification and/or relevant work experience is considered case by case.
Her bar from Amity: RGU's India page asks for a Second Class degree or an overall average of 55%+ from a recognised institution, or CBCS 10-point GPA 6.0 (B, 'above average'). It does not rank institutions. Caveat: RGU's India leaflet PDF says 'A 4 year degree' with 2:2 or 55%, so she should check with admissions if her Amity degree is a 3-year one.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5. RGU also accepts Indian Class 12 English or English Core at 65%+ (CBSE, CISCE, or state boards other than Punjab and Haryana) as an English qualification for taught postgraduate entry.
Accreditation: CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) dual award accredited status. After the MSc, two more CIM modules give the CIM PG Professional Diploma in Marketing. This course page names no other body (no CMI, CIPD or AACSB).
Compulsory modules: Every taught module is core (15 credits each). January start: in Semester One (Jan to April), CBM002 Digital Marketing Strategy, CBM213 Global Brand Management, CBM123 Business Marketing and Innovation, CBM209 Marketing Analytics and CBM300 Professional Skills Enhancement (teaching). From May to Sept, the CBM300 four-week placement or live-client project. In Semester Two (Sept to Dec), CB4324 Consumer Psychology, CBM822 Marketing Strategy and BSM255 Managing for Global Sustainability. In Semester Three (Dec to March), one 60-credit option: BSM823 Capstone or BSM189 New Venture Creation Project. This is course version 3, valid from September 2026, and no newer version is listed.
Tech evidence: Only CBM209 Marketing Analytics, a compulsory 15-credit module, is technical. It is run by the School of Computing, Engineering and Technology, and its content lists 'machine learning and marketing; predictive analytics; algorithmic marketing ... social network analysis; sentiment analysis'. Its learning outcomes are about evaluation, though ('Critically evaluate big data and analytics platforms and principles'; 'Define and analyse commonly used metrics and KPIs in digital analytics'). It is assessed by group coursework only ('development of a marketing analytics solution to an industry-relevant scenario') with no exam. No programming language or software is named in the module page or its ...

Entry: 'Applicants normally hold a 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or its equivalent in any subject area'. Lower classifications are considered case by case.
Her bar from Amity: 55%+ or CGPA 6.0/10 (RGU India page). IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5.

Accreditation: 'accredited by The Institute of Data and Marketing (IDM)'. Also 'delivered in partnership with the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI)'. No CIM.
Compulsory modules: CBM727 Digital Production Tools and Techniques (30 credits); CBM002 Digital Marketing Strategy; CBM209 Marketing Analytics; CB4009 Search Marketing; CB4007 Social Media Marketing; BSM2530 Enterprise Creation; CBM300 Professional Skills Enhancement; then Capstone OR New Venture Creation Project. (CBM839 and CBM101 apply only at the MDIS Singapore campus.)
Tech evidence: CBM727 is a compulsory 30-credit module. Aim: 'design, develop and deliver a client-focused digital media project ... selecting technologies to meet client needs'. Indicative content: 'audio visual production ... web design, interactive application development, SEO, project management, tangible interfaces, internet of things, sensors and microcontrollers'. That is building tech. The course page frames Stage 1 as 'web-design, audio/video recording and editing and graphics processing', and no programming language is named, so this verdict rests on the descriptor wording. It also includes compulsory CBM209 Marketing Analytics ('machine learning and marketing; predictive analytics').

Management and international business 4

MSc Business Leadership and Management Non-technical £18,760 · Starts Feb 2027 · 16 months

Fee: January 2027 start: £18,760 (the 2026-2027 international rate). A January 2027 start falls in academic year 2026-2027 and the fee is fixed for the whole course. The page lists one full time fee with no extra charge for the 16 month January route, and January instalments are 34% at enrolment, 33% by 1 June and 33% by 1 November. RGU's India leaflet (2026/27) shows £15,760 after the automatic scholarship for self funded students, with a 34% deposit of £5,358. January 2027 self funders who pay the deposit by 13 November 2026 get a further £500 off. September 2027: not yet published. The page shows only 2026-2027 (£18,760) and 2025-2026 (£19,060). Placement route (September only), 2026-2027: ...
Length: January 2027 start: 16 months full time on campus. The Explorer's January plan is Semester 1 (Jan to May 2027), Semester 2 (Sept 2027 to Jan 2028), Semester 3 (Jan to May 2028), so there is no teaching over summer 2027. September start: 12 months, or 24 months with a 12 month placement. The placement route is September only and is not open to January starters.
Start and deadline: Yes. On campus, full time, 16 months. Arrival, induction and enrolment open 25 January 2027, teaching starts Monday 1 February 2027, and the last enrolment day is 5 February 2027. International applications close 6 November 2026 at 12:00 noon UK time. Conditions, including the deposit, are due by 20 November 2026 at noon, and the final CAS issue date is 4 December 2026. RGU calls the January full time on campus intake 'limited' and has closed it only for Bangladesh, Ghana and Pakistan, so India was still open on 20 October 2026.
Entry: A 2:2 honours degree or equivalent in any subject. A lower class or relevant work experience is considered case by case. No work experience is required, and applicants are not normally interviewed.
Her bar from Amity: RGU's India page asks for a second class degree or an overall average of 55%+ for courses that require a 2:2. On a CBCS 10 point scale, which Amity uses, the bar is 'GPA 6.0 or B or above average'. Amity is not on the 50% list (Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta). Below this bar, RGU decides case by case, or she can take the ICRGU pre-masters.
English: 6.5 overall, with no component lower than 5.5 (or an equivalent test).
Accreditation: CMI (the management body): a dual award with the CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. At school level, Aberdeen Business School holds AACSB and Small Business Charter accreditation. No CIM, CIPD, AMBA or EQUIS is named.
Compulsory modules: All 8 taught modules are compulsory. January starters take BS4104 Business Strategy, BSM018 Economics of Business, BSM538 Strategic Leadership and CBM123 Business Marketing and Innovation first (Jan to May 2027). Next come BSM748 Global Business Environment, BSM532 Resilience and Change Management, BSM260 Personal, Professional and Academic Skills and BSM845 Organisational Behaviour (Sept 2027 to Jan 2028). The final 60 credits are BSM823 Capstone or BSM189 New Venture Creation Project.
Tech evidence: I read all 8 compulsory module descriptors and both final project options. They come from the Explorer version 'Valid From 2026 September', which covers a January 2027 start. None of them teaches programming, ML, LLM or NLP. BSM018 is economic theory ('market structure; structure-conduct-performance paradigm ... pricing in theory and practice') and is assessed by coursework only. BSM260 is study skills ('commonly used IT applications and software packages ... research methods; data collection techniques'). CBM123 is B2B marketing, assessed by a pre-recorded PowerPoint presentation. BSM538, BSM532, BSM748 and BSM845 are leadership, resilience, globalisation and organisational behaviour ...

A January 2027 start sits in academic year 2026-27, with teaching from 1 Feb 2027 in Semester 2 of the 2026-27 calendar. The January instalment plan (34% at enrolment, 33% by 1 June, 33% by 1 November) covers one fee, with no second-year charge.

Entry: 'Applicants normally hold a 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or its equivalent in any subject discipline.' A lower class or relevant work experience is considered case by case. No work experience is required, and applicants are 'not normally interviewed' (Explorer).
Her bar from Amity: From the RGU India page: Second Class, or an overall average of 55%+ from a recognised institution, meets a 2:2 course. CBCS 10-point CGPA 6.0 ('B' or 'above average') also qualifies. The 50% concession is only for Mumbai, Delhi and Calcutta universities, so an Amity Noida graduate needs 55% or CGPA 6.0. Lower marks are considered case by case. The India PDF leaflet words it as 'A 4 year degree with a minimum of a second class lower (2:2) or better, or an average 55% from a recognised institution'.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall, with no component below 5.5. RGU's postgraduate English list also accepts Indian Year 12 English or English Core at 65% or above (CBSE, CISCE and state boards, excluding Punjab and Haryana). RGU says it confirms accepted school English results to UKVI for the visa.
Accreditation: CMI (Chartered Management Institute) dual award: 'A Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership (level 7)'. At school level, Aberdeen Business School holds AACSB International and Small Business Charter accreditation (the Explorer also says 'AACSB and BGA accredited'). It has no CIM (marketing) or CIPD (HR) accreditation.
Compulsory modules: January start, all compulsory, 15 credits each.

Semester 3 (Jan to May 2028): one 60-credit option, either BSM823 Capstone or BSM189 New Venture Creation Project. These come from Explorer course 8142, version valid from Sept 2026.
Tech evidence: I read all eight compulsory descriptors and both final-project options. None mentions programming, ML, LLM, NLP or data-science tools. The most numerate is BSM017 Finance for Managers: 'detailed ratio analysis', 'methods of budgeting and forecasting', 'cost prediction techniques' and 'capital investment appraisal techniques', assessed by a 'Coursework Report'. That is standard managerial finance, not coding. BSM260 covers 'commonly used IT applications and software packages' and 'data collection techniques' at user level. CBM822 covers 'market measurement and forecasting' as concepts and is assessed by an 'Individual Written Assessment'. BSM748 and BSM845 are closed-book exams. The Capstone ...

Marketing 2

MSc International Marketing & Business Development (entered as Two-Year MSc) Non-technical if she skips some options €38,000 · January 2027 · 2 years

Fee: EUR 38,000 tuition for the full two years at 2026-2027 rates, the same for all nationalities. Add EUR 500 a year in service fees and a EUR 100 application fee, so about EUR 39,100 in total. Charging the 2026-2027 rate to a January 2027 start is an inference, because the contract sets the final amount. No September 2027 (2027-2028) fee is published.
Length: 2 years: year 1 business foundations (60 credits), then year 2 IMBD specialisation (60 credits, including an 18-credit dissertation). No end date is published for a January starter. Without 2 months of work experience in year 1, a 6-month placement is added at the end of year 2.
Start and deadline: Yes. For the clean route, start year 1 at Raleigh (orientation 12 to 13 January 2027, classes from 14 January 2027) or at Suzhou or Belo Horizonte. Apply by 9 November 2026, then sign and pay the deposit by 16 November 2026. Dubai's deadlines are 30 November and 7 December 2026. French campuses also take January starters, with rolling deadlines on the 15th of each month, but their year 1 includes compulsory Python.
Entry: A three-year university degree or equivalent (180 ECTS or RNCP 6) and an English test. Selection is an online application (academic excellence, motivation, personal objectives) followed by an interview. To pass year 1 she needs 60 ECTS and at least 2 months of work experience.
Her bar from Amity: SKEMA has no India page. The rule on the course page says an Indian bachelor's graduate with less than 3 years of work experience takes the Two-Year MSc, so a 3-year Amity degree qualifies. No minimum percentage, university tier or NIRF rule is published.
English: IELTS 6.0 on the course page. The 8 September 2026 admissions guide says IELTS 5, so plan for 6.0. Other accepted tests: TOEFL iBT 70, Duolingo 105, TOEIC 810. The test can be waived after 2 years of study or work in an English-speaking country.
Accreditation: School: AACSB, EQUIS and EFMD Accredited EMBA. Award: DESMI, recognised by the French Ministry (grade de master, RNCP Level 7, No. 41056). No AMBA, CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: Year 1 in Paris or Sophia: Strategy, Corporate Finance, Marketing Studies, AI in Business Contexts, Languages, Key Skills, Excel, Python programming, Career Management; then International Finance, International Marketing, CSR, Entrepreneurship, Power BI Fundamentals, Low-code Hackathon, Languages; plus marketing track courses (Digital, Luxury, Design and Strategic Marketing). Year 1 at Raleigh or Suzhou (PGE M1): fall has AI in Business Contexts, Corporate Finance, Global Economic Issues, Managing Human Resources, Marketing Studies and Strategy; spring has CSR, Entrepreneurship, International Finance, International Marketing, Management of Information Systems in the Digital Age, Operation ...
Tech evidence: The verdict depends on the campus. Year 1 in Paris or Sophia is a FAIL, because 'Python programming, 2 credits' is core and so is a 'Low-code Hackathon'. Year 1 at Raleigh or Suzhou has no coding in the PGE M1 core I checked for fall 2026 and spring 2027. 'AI in Business Contexts' aims 'to give you a non-technical understanding', and 'Power BI' is dashboard work in Power BI Desktop. Year 2 at Paris or Raleigh is BORDERLINE, because the core 'AI & Data Analytics' says it is 'for students without programming skills' yet includes 'Sentiment Analysis with Python'. Year 2 cores at Lille, Sophia, Suzhou and Belo Horizonte are non-technical, and 'Marketing Research' covers 'qualitative and ...

MSc Global Luxury and Management (entered as Two-Year MSc) Non-technical if she skips some options €47,000 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: EUR 47,000 total for the Two-Year GLM ('€47,000 for the 2-year MSc', academic year 2026-2027). Add 'A service fee of €500 per year of study' (EUR 1,000 over two years) and a EUR 100 application fee. One rate for all nationalities. The 2027-2028 fee for a September 2027 start is not published. 'Definitive amounts will be those mentioned on the contract at the date of registration.' A January 2027 fee does not apply because GLM starts only in September.
Length: 2 years for her. Year 1 is business foundations (60 ECTS over one year). Year 2 is GLM: either one semester at NYU SPS New York and one at SKEMA Paris, or a full year in Dubai, each with an 18-credit dissertation. For a September 2027 start, she would finish around mid-2029.
Start and deadline: No. GLM lists 'Start date(s) September' only. The Two-Year MSc has a January intake (Paris: mandatory orientation and courses start on 5 January 2027), but year 1 runs over a full year, so January entrants could not reach GLM until September 2028, and no official page describes that route. The Spring 2027 campus deadlines apply 'if and only if the program is available on these campuses'. The realistic start is year 1 in September 2027 and GLM in September 2028.
Entry: A three-year degree ('180 ECTS credits or RNCP 6'). Selection is an online application judged on 'academic excellence', motivation and objectives, then the VisioTalent video test for GLM, then an interview. GMAT/GRE is not mandatory. To reach year 2 she needs 60 ECTS and at least two months of work experience; otherwise six months are needed at the end of year 2.
Her bar from Amity: SKEMA has no India page and publishes no minimum percentage or NIRF rule. Its India rule is that an Indian bachelor's graduate with less than 3 years of work experience enters the Two-Year MSc, which fits her. A 3-year Amity degree meets the 180 ECTS bar.
English: IELTS 6.0 ('IELTS(6)'). It can be waived after two years of study or work in an English-speaking country. SKEMA's 8 Sep 2026 admissions guide lists 'IELTS: 5' for MSc programmes, but the programme page is the binding figure.
Accreditation: School: AACSB, EQUIS and EFMD Accredited EMBA (footer badges). Programme: UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA). Degree: DESMI, master's level, RNCP 41056. No AMBA, CIM (marketing), CMI (management) or CIPD (HR).
Compulsory modules: Year 1 depends on the campus. French campuses have a fixed core that includes 'Python programming, 2 credits', Excel, AI in Business Contexts, Power BI Fundamentals and a Low-code Hackathon. Outside France (Raleigh shown), year 1 is the PGE M1 core: AI in Business Contexts, Corporate Finance, Global Economic Issues, Managing Human Resources, Marketing Studies, Strategy, Career Management, then CSR, Entrepreneurship, International Finance, International Marketing, Management of Information Systems in the Digital Age, Operation Management, Power BI, plus language and local courses. Year 2 is fully fixed. The New York semester has Diversity of the Luxury Consumer in the US, Luxury Storytelling ...
Tech evidence: Year 1 in France (Paris, Sophia or Lille) has a compulsory 'Python programming, 2 credits', so that route is a FAIL. On the Raleigh route, the 2026-27 Raleigh catalogues have no Python course in M1. 'AI in Business Contexts' aims 'to give you a non-technical understanding', and Power BI is dashboard work in Power BI Desktop (DAX formulas, no coding). The NYU module 'Luxury and Disruption' covers 'Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Web3' through 'in-classroom instruction, guest lectures and course-related company visits', so it is non-technical. The SKEMA Paris semester-2 descriptions are not published, but the titles are strategy and brand subjects. Avoid the Dubai track: its ...

Management and international business 3

MSc Sport, Event & Hospitality Management (entered as Two-Year MSc) Non-technical if she skips some options €38,000 · January 2027 · 2 years

Fee: EUR 38,000 total for the 2-year MSc (2026-2027 rate, 'subject to change', final amount is the contract at registration), plus EUR 500 service fee per year and EUR 100 application fee. Jan 2027 start: EUR 38,000 is the only published rate (Jan 2027 is in SKEMA's 2026/2027 year, but no page says which year's rate a January starter pays). Sept 2027 (2027-2028): not published, UNVERIFIED.
Length: 2 years (Two-Year MSc: year 1 business foundations, year 2 SEHM at Sophia Antipolis with 8 months of courses then work experience or research project; 18-credit dissertation). Needs a 2-month placement by end of year 1, else 6 months at end of year 2.
Start and deadline: Yes, 'Start date(s) September, January'. For the clean route (year 1 at Raleigh): orientation 12-13 Jan 2027, classes start 14 Jan 2027; apply by 9 Nov 2026, enrol (contract and deposit) by 16 Nov 2026. Dubai: apply by 30 Nov, enrol by 7 Dec 2026. Paris year 1 starts 5 Jan 2027 but includes compulsory Python. Year 2 (SEHM) is at Sophia Antipolis.
Entry: Three-year university degree or equivalent (180 ECTS or RNCP 6); online application judged on academic excellence, motivation and objectives, then interview. No GMAT/GRE stated.
Her bar from Amity: No India page and no minimum percentage or university-tier rule. SKEMA's India rule: Indian bachelor's holders with under 3 years' work experience go to the Two-year MSc. A 3-year Amity degree meets the 180 ECTS bar on paper.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall on the programme page (TOEFL iBT 70, Duolingo 105, TOEIC 810); the 8 Sep 2026 admissions guide says 'IELTS: 5', which conflicts, so plan for 6.0. Waived after two years of study or work in an English-speaking country.
Accreditation: School: AACSB, EQUIS and EFMD Accredited EMBA. Award: DESMI, French Ministry approved, RNCP 41056 level 7. No AMBA, CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: Year 1 (France): Strategy, Corporate Finance, Marketing Studies, AI in Business Contexts, Language, Key Skills, Excel, Python programming, Career Mgmt; Jan semester: International Finance, International Marketing, CSR, Entrepreneurship, Power BI Fundamentals, Low-code Hackathon, Language, Career Mgmt, plus 8 track credits. Year 1 (Raleigh, PGE M1): AI in Business Contexts, Corporate Finance, Global Economic Issues, Managing HR, Marketing Studies, Strategy, Advanced Excel, Career Mgmt 3; Spring: Power BI, Career Mgmt 4, CSR, Entrepreneurship, International Finance, International Marketing, MIS in the Digital Age, Operation Management, plus glocalisation courses. Year 2 S1 core: Global ...
Tech evidence: Year 1 decides it. In Paris or Sophia the year-1 core includes 'Python programming, 2 credits' (plus a 'Low-code Hackathon'), so that route fails. Year 1 outside France follows PGE M1 courses. The Raleigh Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 PGE M1 lists have no Python. 'AI in Business Contexts' aims 'to give you a non-technical understanding', and Power BI is dashboard work in Power BI Desktop (it includes DAX formulas). The year-2 SEHM cores are managerial: Research Methods is thesis planning, Financial Management is ratio and variance analysis, and Strategy and digital business model teaches 'the basics of strategic management and business model design'. The only technical item is the elective 'AI ...

Length: 2 years (Two-Year MSc: year 1 business fundamentals, 60 ECTS; year 2 is the IB specialisation plus an 18-credit dissertation). She can change campus each semester in year 2.

Suzhou and Belo Horizonte also close 9 Nov 2026; their start dates were not re-checked.
Entry: A three-year bachelor's degree (180 ECTS). An online application assessing academic excellence and motivation, then an interview. To move into year 2 she needs 60 ECTS plus at least 2 months of work placement, otherwise 6 months at the end of year 2.
Her bar from Amity: No India page and no minimum percentage published. 'Candidates with an Indian Bachelor degree are eligible ... for the Two-year MSc if they have less than 3 years of work experience.' An Amity Noida 3-year degree qualifies on paper, with selection on the application and interview.

Tech evidence: The verdict depends on the route. Year 1 in France is a FAIL: the official core lists 'Python programming, 2 credits' (no description published).

Grande Ecole / Master in Management (PGE) Some data or analytics €39,000 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: €39,000 for both years plus €500 service fee per year, about €40,000 in total. This is labelled the 2026/2027 fee and is indicative. The 2027/28 fee for a September 2027 start is not published. There is one rate for all nationalities. Application fee is €100 direct, or €250 via JASIF (the French page says €220).
Length: 2 years full time (M1 + M2), or 3 with the optional césure. M1 autumn is on a French campus. M1 spring is on an international campus (Raleigh, Suzhou, Belo Horizonte, Dubai, Stellenbosch), or CFA Level 1 in Paris, or a césure. M2 is an MSc year.
Start and deadline: No January or February entry; September intake only. The September 2027 start date is not published (2026 was 7 September). Rolling deadlines fall on the 15th of each month. The current JASIF cycle deadlines are 7 Jan, 26 Feb and 19 Apr 2027.
Entry: A non-French bachelor's degree (3+ years, or one still in progress) with at least 2 years studied outside France. Also required: a GMAT, GRE, TAGE MAGE or CAT score (no minimum published), an English test, CV, cover letter, 2 recommendations and a 30-minute interview. JASIF (five schools, one application) is the alternative route.
Her bar from Amity: Eligible on paper with an Amity Noida bachelor's in any field. There is no India-specific MiM rule and no published minimum GPA or GMAT/GRE/CAT score. The management test is the extra hurdle compared with SKEMA MSc entry.
English: No published MiM minimum. SKEMA's MiM eligibility checker asks for B2 English and treats IELTS 5.5 to 6.0 as its pass band, so about IELTS 5.5. The 'IELTS 5' in the admissions guide is for MSc only. SKEMA says to ask international.admissions@skema.edu whether a test is needed. JASIF waives it with proof of an English-medium degree.
Accreditation: School: AACSB, EQUIS, EFMD Accredited EMBA; CGE member; EESPIG. Degree: French state-recognised grade de Master, RNCP41054 (Level 7, active to 31-08-2030); UAE CAA on the Dubai campus. No CIM, CMI, CIPD or AMBA.
Compulsory modules: M1 autumn core (Sophia 2026): AI in Business Contexts, Corporate Finance, Global Economic Issues, Key Skills for Corporate Transition, Managing Human Resources, Marketing Studies, Strategy. Also Career Management 3 and 2Tonnes, plus Advanced Excel (elective code) and a language. M1 spring core (Raleigh 2027): CSR Beyond the Mainstream, Entrepreneurship, International Finance, International Marketing, Management of Information Systems in the Digital Age, Operation Management, plus Career Management 4 and Power BI, 2 glocalization courses and a language. M2 is the chosen MSc: IMBD Sophia core is clean (Python only in the avoidable elective 'AI & Data Analytics'), and so is LFM.
Tech evidence: No Python, R, SQL or ML in any M1 core. 'AI in Business Contexts' aims 'to give you a non-technical understanding'. Power BI (in Raleigh's 2-of-2 'Cours Autonomes') teaches 'advanced calculations using DAX language' and a Power Query 'M code template'. That is beyond the dashboard-only bar, though it is not programming in Python, R or SQL. RNCP block 3 lists 'Travaux de programmation' as an assessment mode. M2 is clean only if she picks a non-technical MSc such as IMBD or LFM.

September 2027: the 2027-2028 fee is not published (UNVERIFIED).
Length: 2 years (Two-Year MSc). Year 1 covers business foundations. Year 2 is the PMBD specialisation at Lille or Paris and totals 60 credits including the dissertation. With a January 2027 start, year 1 runs January to December 2027 and year 2 would begin in January 2028. That year 2 date is inferred from the September and January intakes; the page does not spell it out.
Start and deadline: Yes. 'there are intakes in September, and January'. Exact January 2027 starts: Paris year 1 has 'Orientation day (mandatory) 5 January' and 'Courses start PGE M1 5 January' (2026/27 calendar updated 16/10/2026).

The specialisation must be chosen before starting.
Her bar from Amity: SKEMA's India rule is printed on the programme page: 'Candidates with an Indian Bachelor degree are eligible ... for the Two-year MSc if they have less than 3 years of work experience.' With one internship she is a Two-Year MSc applicant, and a 3-year Amity degree meets the 180 ECTS bar. No minimum percentage, university tier or NIRF rule is published.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall ('IELTS(6)'). Alternatives are TOEFL iBT 70, Duolingo 105, TOEIC 810 and Cambridge 165. The test can be waived after two years of study or work in an English-speaking country.

Same rate for all nationalities. Because SMC starts in September only, she would pay the 2027-2028 rate for a September 2027 start, and that rate is not yet published.
Length: 2 years for her: year 1 is Two-Year MSc foundations (60 ECTS plus a placement of at least 2 months), year 2 is SMC in Paris only (42 taught credits plus an 18-credit professional thesis). The cohort is capped at 'up to 35 students'.
Start and deadline: No. The SMC page lists 'Start date(s) September' only. Other specialisations list 'September, January', and 'Spring intake is only available for the first year of the Two-year MSc'. No published route takes a January 2027 year-1 start into SMC. Her realistic entry is year 1 in September 2027, then SMC in Paris from September 2028.
Entry: A three-year degree (180 ECTS or RNCP 6) for the Two-Year MSc. Online application judged on 'academic excellence', motivation and objectives, then a VisioTalent video pre-selection (required for SMC), then an interview. SMC criteria: 'Demonstrated academic excellence', 'Strong analytical abilities and problem-solving skills', 'High level of English proficiency'. Rolling admissions, with the 'Next application deadline is the 15th of the month'.

Tech evidence: The verdict depends on where she does year 1. Year 1 in France has compulsory 'Python programming, 2 credits' (plus a 'Low-code Hackathon'), which is a FAIL. Year 1 at Raleigh has no Python in its 2026-27 PGE M1 lists: AI in Business Contexts is explicitly 'non-technical' and Power BI is dashboard and DAX work. Year 2 SMC makes 'Quantitative Methods for Business, 2 credits' and 'AI for Business Strategy, 1 credit' compulsory, with no published description. SMC is absent from the Paris exchange catalogue, so the content of these two modules is unknown, and no coding is stated. Compulsory finance (Corporate Valuation, M&A) adds quantitative load.

Global MBA | International Triple Degree (Loyola University New Orleans, SKEMA Business School Paris, LMU Munich) Some data or analytics No January start · 2 years

Fee: 2026-27 rate: $1,065 per credit hour, so $47,925 for 45 credits, plus general fees of $540 per semester ($1,620) and a $450 graduation fee. Loyola's mandatory health insurance (2026-27: $1,591 Fall, $2,205 Spring) applies unless waived. An August 2027 start pays 2027-28 and later rates, which are not published yet. SKEMA's one-year table also shows a stale $47,025.
Length: MBA coursework takes 3 semesters, August 2027 to October 2028 (Fall in New Orleans, January to May in Paris, May to October in Munich). The full triple degree with the thesis takes about 2 years (SKEMA: 'Duration 2 years'; Loyola: thesis 'January-August' of year 2).
Start and deadline: No. The only intake is August, with fall terms only ('students will be admitted in Fall terms only'). The next start is August 2027, and Fall 2027 applications are open now. Deadlines: priority May 15; regular June 30 per Loyola (SKEMA says June 15). LMU needs its ANABIN check approved by July 15.

Also required: WES, ECE or SpanTran evaluation; resume; two professional references; online interview; 400-word statement; affidavit of funds. GMAT or GRE is optional. No GPA minimum or work-experience minimum is published.
Her bar from Amity: Amity University Noida is rated 'H+' (Private University) in ANABIN, which puts it in LMU's fast case 1 if the degree is 3 to 4 years long (status A3/A4). A 3-year Indian B.Sc. falls into LMU's slower case 3. No school publishes a grade threshold or has an India page.
English: IELTS 6.5 overall (Loyola FAQ, and DAAD for LMU). Duolingo 110. Waiver is case by case for English-medium degrees.
Accreditation: Loyola College of Business: AACSB (graduate division since 1974, reaffirmed 2023). Loyola University: SACSCOC. SKEMA: EQUIS, AACSB and EFMD EMBA, and its Grande École degree confers the French master's grade (RNCP 41054). No CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: The curriculum is fixed: 15 courses, 45 US credits, and every one is compulsory. Loyola's bulletin labels five of them "Electives", but they are pre-assigned and students "must successfully complete all courses assigned by the three participating institutions". Loyola, Fall Y1: BA B504 Business Ethics and Social Justice; ACCT B615 Financial & Managerial Accounting; MGT B600 Organizational Leadership; MKT B600 Strategic Marketing Insight and Innovation; BUAN B625 Data-Driven Decision Making for Managers. This last course replaces "Managerial Economics & Statistics", which only SKEMA's out-of-date page still lists. SKEMA Paris, Spring Y1: Corporate Finance; Innovation and Entrepreneurship; ...
Tech evidence: Compulsory BUAN B625 'blending principles of economics and statistics ... hands-on data analysis ... interpreting quantitative information'. That is quantitative work with no programming stated. LMU's Data-Based Decision-Making is a PharmaSim marketing simulation on product, pricing and communications decisions. No compulsory course mentions coding, ML, LLMs or NLP.

MSc International Human Resources & Performance Management (Two-Year MSc entry) Technical €38,000 · January 2027 · 2 years

Fee: €38,000 total tuition for the Two-Year MSc at 2026-27 rates, which apply to January 2027 entry (subject to the contract). Add a €500 service fee per year and a €100 application fee. September 2027 entry would pay 2027-28 fees, which are not yet published.
Length: Nominally 2 years. Year 1 is Advanced Business Management (Paris, Sophia, Raleigh, Suzhou, Belo Horizonte or Dubai). Year 2 is the HRPM specialisation in Paris: eight months of courses, then work experience or a research project. A January 2027 start runs well past 12 months and probably ends in late 2028 or early 2029. That end date is inferred; SKEMA does not publish one.
Start and deadline: Yes. Paris and Sophia courses start 5 January 2027, with mandatory orientation on 5 January and virtual pre-orientation 14 to 18 December 2026. Raleigh starts 14 January and Belo Horizonte 18 January. France deadlines fall on the 15th of each month; Raleigh, Suzhou and Belo Horizonte close 9 Nov 2026, Dubai 30 Nov 2026.
Entry: A three-year bachelor's degree in any discipline (180 ECTS or RNCP 6) and an English test. Selection is an online application followed by an interview. No minimum grade is stated.
Her bar from Amity: No India page and no grade or university-tier bar. Indian bachelor's holders with under 3 years of work experience enter the Two-Year MSc, so an Amity Noida 3-year degree is eligible on paper.
English: IELTS 6.0 (or TOEFL iBT 70, TOEIC 810, Duolingo 105). The test is waived for native speakers or after 2 years of study or work in an English-speaking country.
Accreditation: School: AACSB, EQUIS and EFMD Accredited (EMBA), plus EESPIG status and CGE membership. Degree: DESMI, RNCP41056, state-approved level 7. No CIPD (HR), CMI or CIM accreditation is named.
Compulsory modules: Year 1 is the common Two-Year MSc 'Advanced Business Management' year shared by every Two-Year MSc. It is not specific to IMBD, so calling it "the same as IMBD" does not describe it. You must pass all 60 ECTS to move into Year 2. September semester core (22 credits): Strategy 4; Corporate Finance 4; Marketing Studies 3; AI in Business Contexts 2; Languages 2; Key Skills for Corporate Transition 2; Excel Fundamentals and Applications 2; Python programming 2; Career Management 1. On top of that, 8 credits of specialisation-track courses: your own track plus one more course. The tracks are Finance, Marketing, and Business Strategy & Management (Digital Business / Leadership and communication). ...
Tech evidence: FAIL. Year 1 of the Two-Year MSc has a compulsory programming module: "Python programming, 2 credits" sits in the Year 1 "Core courses (22 credits)". The other Year 1 semester also has "Low-code Hackathon, 3 credits" and "Power BI Fundamentals, 2 credits" as core, and Year 1 requires "60 ECTS credits", so both semesters are compulsory. The sweep's BORDERLINE only fits the Year 2 IHRPM specialisation on its own. That year has no Python. Its core "Artificial Intelligence for HRM" (2 credits) is low-code Microsoft Power Platform work with the objective "Develop AI use cases for HRM using low code/no code". The two-year route applies to her because the page says "Candidates with an Indian ...

MSc Luxury & Fashion Management (entered as Two-Year MSc) Technical €41,000 · January 2027 · 2 years

Fee: EUR 41,000 total tuition for the Two-year MSc LFM, one rate for all nationalities (the '2026-2027' table, 'subject to change'). Add EUR 500 service fee per year (EUR 1,000 over two years) and a EUR 100 application fee, about EUR 42,100 in all. A January 2027 start is covered by the 2026-2027 table. September 2027 (2027-2028) fees are not published.
Length: 2 years. Year 1 is 60 ECTS 'taught over one year'. Year 2 is the LFM specialisation at Sophia Antipolis: 90 ECTS including a 30-credit dissertation. A January 2027 start runs about two years; no end date is published. She must also do a 2-month placement by the end of year 1, or 6 months at the end of year 2.
Start and deadline: Yes, 'Start date(s) September, January'. At Sophia, the mandatory orientation and PGE M1 classes both start 5 January 2027 (calendar updated 16/10/2026). Admissions are rolling, with the next deadline on the 15th of each month. If year 1 is abroad: Raleigh, Suzhou and Belo Horizonte apply by 9 Nov 2026 (enrol by 16 Nov); Dubai by 30 Nov.
Entry: Three-year bachelor's degree or equivalent (180 ECTS / RNCP 6). No minimum grade is published. Selection is an online application (academic excellence, motivation, objectives) followed by an interview. No work experience is required for LFM.
Her bar from Amity: SKEMA's own rule: 'Candidates with an Indian Bachelor degree are eligible ... for the Two-year MSc if they have less than 3 years of work experience.' So an Amity Noida graduate with one internship qualifies for the Two-Year MSc. No percentage or institution-tier bar is published.
English: IELTS 6.0 overall (programme page 'IELTS(6)'). Alternatives: TOEFL iBT 70, Duolingo 105, TOEIC 810.
Accreditation: School: AACSB, EQUIS, EFMD Accredited EMBA; also EESPIG, CEFDG and CGE member. Degree: DESMI, RNCP 41056, Level 7, active, registered until 31-08-2028. No AMBA, CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: Year 1, September block: Strategy; Corporate Finance; Marketing Studies; AI in Business Contexts (described as 'a non-technical understanding'); Languages; Key Skills for Corporate Transition; Excel Fundamentals and Applications; Python programming (2 credits); Career Management; plus marketing track Digital Marketing and Luxury Marketing. Year 1, January block: International Finance; International Marketing; CSR; Entrepreneurship; Power BI Fundamentals; Low-code Hackathon (3 credits); Languages; Career Management; plus marketing track Design Marketing and Strategic Marketing. Year 2 (LFM, Sophia): Global Luxury & Fashion; International Marketing Strategies for Luxury & Fashion Goods; ...
Tech evidence: FAIL. On the France route, Python programming is a compulsory module in year 1. Year 1 is 60 credits made of two 30-credit semesters, so a January starter takes both semesters, including the one with Python. LFM's second year runs only at Sophia Antipolis. The non-France year-1 route (Raleigh, Suzhou, Belo Horizonte, or Dubai, which the checker left out) is UNVERIFIED: SKEMA publishes no M1 course list for those campuses. The Master in Management page also says M1 teaches AI through data analysis "using RapidMiner", so that route would be BORDERLINE at best, not PASS_WITH_CARE. In every route, year 2 has the compulsory module "Retail and Luxury Analytics in the Current Context, 3 credits". ...

Fee: February 2027 intake is on the 2026-2027 registration form and pays the 2026-27 rate: EUR 23,600 (EUR 5,000 deposit + EUR 18,600 balance by the first day of class), or EUR 24,072 in 3 instalments (2% surcharge; spring instalments March, April, May 2027). The form says 'Tuition fees are annual' and 'Fees are subject to change for subsequent years', and PSB publishes no programme total for the 24 months, so confirm with PSB whether year two is charged again. The 90 ECTS line is EUR 20,100. October 2027 (2027-28): not published. The English fee page (2025-26, Non EU tab) wrongly shows EUR 18,790; the French page and the 2026-27 form both say EUR 23,600. EUR 100 application fee; merit ...
Length: 24 months, 120 ECTS, both October and February intakes; 716 teaching hours (518 in year 1) plus a mandatory 4-month internship. A 90 ECTS (18 months) fee line exists on the 2026-27 form; who qualifies for it is not published. Indian students can also take the upGrad hybrid route (6 to 8 months online, then 12 to 16 months on campus plus internship).
Start and deadline: Yes, February 2027 intake is open (application catalogue: 'Luxury & Fashion Management February 2027'). No exact start date is published. The 24 Feb 2027 date belongs to the exchange-student MSc International Finance track, not this degree. Course length is 24 months, so a February 2027 start runs to about early 2029.

The form says 'Tuition fees are annual' and heads the table 'ANNUAL TUITION FEES'. No second-year amount is published, so a second charge of about EUR 18,790 cannot be ruled out. upGrad, PSB's India partner, shows EUR 18,790 as the total tuition. Confirm in writing. October 2027 start (2027-2028 fees): not published ('Fees are subject to change for subsequent years'). A merit deduction of up to EUR 2,000 is possible.

PSB's Spring 2027 catalogue gives a January 21 orientation day and runs the MSc International Finance track from February 24 to June 25, 2027. The fallback is October 2027, not September, because PSB's intakes are 'October or February'.

The 2025 PDF schedule was a €10,000 deposit, €18,600 before the course starts and €10,900 before semester 2. No separate 2027-28 fee is published and there is no January start. Whether Marangoni charges anything extra in Year 2 is not stated.
Length: 24 months, 120 ECTS. Year 1 is in Paris with a 4-month internship. Year 2 is in Dubai with a 250-hour UAE internship and a thesis.
Start and deadline: No. The only intake is October (page: 'Start October'; 2025 PDF: 'Single Intake: September'). It is missing from the January 2027 intake page and the February 2027 catalogue. The earliest realistic start is October 2027, and that intake is not yet in the application catalogue.
Entry: A 3- or 4-year Bachelor's degree (the PDF says 'with no or less than 2 years of professional experience'), plus an application file and an online interview. To enter Year 2 she needs a UAE Ministry Letter of Equivalency and a cumulative GPA of at least 2 in Year 1.
Her bar from Amity: No minimum grade is published and there is no India entry page. A 3-year Amity Bachelor's meets the stated bar. The Year 2 GPA of 2 is set on PSB's own grading.
English: IELTS 6 / TOEFL 80 / TOEIC B2, required 'if the candidate did not study in English for the last 2 academic years'
Accreditation: PSB holds AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS at school level (AMBA covers the MBA only; the 2026-27 form says EPAS instead of EQUIS). Istituto Marangoni Dubai is CAA-accredited (UAE). No CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: Year 1 core: Business Game; Capstone Methodology; Career Management; French Language Module; Global Leadership and Management; Innovation Challenge; International Business Strategy; International Economics; International Finance; International Law and Business; International Marketing; Research Methodology Qualitative; Research Methodology Quantitative; 4-month internship. Year 1 specialisation (all listed, 'may be subject to minor changes'): Advertising & Integrated Communication in Luxury; Business Intelligence & Strategic Marketing in the Luxury Industry; Business Tour; Clienteling, CRM and Selling techniques; Key challenges facing luxury sectors; Luxury Visual Merchandising; New ...
Tech evidence: Three modules sound like analytics: 'Tech 4 Business- Specialized', 'Business Intelligence & Strategic Marketing in the Luxury Industry' and 'Research Methodology Quantitative'. All are on the fixed list and no official description exists anywhere, so coding is neither stated nor ruled out. The Year 2 Dubai modules are communication and design and are clean.

#15 MSc Marketing & Brand Management (100% English) Some data or analytics €12,650 · Starts Feb 2027 · Two years

Fee: Feb/Mar and September start, current French page (9 Oct 2026): MSc 1 €12,650 + MSc 2 €14,150 = €26,800, plus a one-off €700 non-EU pack (€27,500 in all). No academic-year label, so the year a Feb 2027 starter is billed under is not stated. The older English page's February tab shows €12,190 + €14,290, and OMNES shows from €12,440 + €13,840 + €490 pack. Get the 2027 fee in writing.
Length: Two years (MSc 1 + MSc 2) for a 3-year bachelor's; one year (MSc 2) for a 4-year (240 ECTS) degree. For a February start, the 2026 schedule gives about 18 months at Bordeaux and Lyon (6-month MSc 1, then 12-month MSc 2) and about 24 months at Paris. Longer than 12 months either way; the 2027 calendar is not yet published.
Start and deadline: Yes, February/March 2027 ('Prochaine rentrée en février/mars 2027'). The exact date is not published: the FÉVRIER/MARS 2027 calendar folder is empty. Precedent: MSc 1 started 24 February in 2025.
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's (180 ECTS) in marketing, communication, management, business or economics for MSc 1, or 240 ECTS for direct MSc 2 entry. A professional level of English is required. Selection is by application, an online motivation interview and an admission letter. Work-study is closed to first-time international applicants, so she would take the full-time track with at least 132 days in a company during MSc 2.
Her bar from Amity: No India page and no grade threshold. The general international rule applies: a 3-year Amity business or management degree (180 credits) qualifies for MSc 1, giving the two-year route. A 4-year degree could allow direct MSc 2 entry. A non-business Amity degree may fail the subject condition. India contact: Maud Le Bras, Zone Inde.
English: No IELTS score is published officially. The official requirement is TOEFL iBT 79 (paper 550, computer 213), waived if her degree was taught in English. The IELTS 6.0 figure appears only on agent sites, so confirm with admissions whether IELTS is accepted.
Accreditation: RNCP level 7 (France Compétences, Ministry of Labour) only. No CIM, CMI, CIPD, AACSB, EQUIS or AMBA for this MSc; AMBA covers INSEEC Grande École only. RNCP 38597 is due to expire 09-02-2027, so confirm it has been renewed.
Compulsory modules: Year 1: Budget Management & Dashboard; Business English; Negotiation; Software & Decision Tools; Professional methods; Corporate Strategy & Business Plan; Brand Strategy; Business Skills; Consumption & New Trends; Media Planning; E-commerce; TA Tech for All; Social Media Strategy & Social Commerce; Marketing digital & social media strategy; Shopper Experience & AI; Communication Strategy; Distribution Policies & Retailing; Team Management; Digital Marketing & AI. Year 2: Brand Management; Brand Identity & Storytelling; Brand Semiotics; Panels, Research & Marketing Decisions; Master Thesis; Product Launches & Activation; Innovation Marketing; Strategic Development for Business Success; ...
Tech evidence: No descriptions are published. The compulsory units 'TA Tech for All', 'Shopper Experience & AI', 'Digital Marketing & AI', 'Structure the Data & Gen AI' and 'CRM Marketing & Automation' are AI or data flavoured. The same TechAway slot is named 'No code data structuring and GenAI: prompt engineering' on INSEEC's Luxury MSc page, which suggests user-level work. The RNCP 38597 skill blocks contain no programming. The Feb 2026 English list had 'NLP & LLM', which is absent from the Oct 2026 list. Ask admissions to confirm the 2027 module list and the TechAway level.

Master Cycle in Marketing, Digital Innovation and Media Strategy – SUP DE PUB (Programme Grande École) Some data or analytics €13,590 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: INSEEC's official pages disagree. The newest pages, and most of them, give €13,590 a year. A 3-year-degree entrant joins at year 2 of the Grande École programme and pays two years: €13,590 + €13,590 = €27,180, plus the compulsory €700 non-EU fee, so €27,880 in total. These pages show €13,590 for the 2nd and 3rd year: the French course page International tab (modified 30 Sep 2026), the French central fees page (7 Oct 2026), the French Grande École procedure page International tab (15 Oct 2026, the newest; curl and a live Firecrawl fetch agree) and the English central fees page (22 Jul 2026). Two English pages give €13,390 a year (€26,780 for two years) instead: the English course page (30 ...
Length: 2 years (M1 + M2, 120 ECTS) for a 3-year-degree holder; September/October intake only. M1 traditional route includes international mobility in semester 2 and an internship of at least 3 months; M2 ends with an internship of at least 6 months.
Start and deadline: No. 'Intake September / October'; INSEEC's February intake covers only Bachelor and MSc programmes. Earliest start for this course is September 2027.
Entry: Completed 3-year bachelor's (180 ECTS) for M1 entry via the Evolution 2 competitive exam (application, online English quiz, oral motivation and English interviews). English-taught M1 only on the Paris campus (Lyon and Bordeaux M1 are in French); M2 in English on all three campuses.
Her bar from Amity: No India page and no minimum grade published. INSEEC only states 'MASTER 1 ADMISSION : Bachelor’s degree (3 years), 180 ECTS credits'. A 3-year Amity Noida bachelor's meets the stated bar; selection is via Evolution 2 file and interviews.
English: IELTS not stated on any INSEEC page. Official English test: TOEFL iBT 79 (paper 550, computer 213), waived if the previous degree was taught in English.
Accreditation: Grade de Master (French Ministry of Higher Education), AMBA-accredited since 2016, RNCP level 7, member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles. No CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: M1 core: INSEEC Digital Innovation Challenge; Transitions in the contemporary world; Economic, Political and Social; Introduction to management control; Corporate finance; English & TOEIC training; Advanced Excel; Consumer behaviour & Applied market research; Strategic management; Project and Operations Management.

CGE accredited MSc – International Business Management (Paris, 100% English) Technical €9,950 · No January start · Two years

Fee: The sources disagree, and none has an academic-year label. French page: 'Admission bac+3 | MSc 1 + MSc 2 | 2 ans | 9 950€ + 9 950€'. Central fee page, 'MSc CGE' tab: 1st year €9,950, 2nd year €9,950. English page: 2nd year €13 390, 3rd year €13 390. OMNES International: 'Year 1: €13,100 | Year 2: €13,100' plus the €490 pack. inseec.com also adds a €700 fee for non-Europeans.
Length: Two years (MSc 1 + MSc 2) for a 3-year degree, or one year (MSc 2) for a 4-year degree.
Start and deadline: No, or at best UNVERIFIED. The header lists 'September / October, February / March', but the fee tables show only a September/initial intake, and OMNES says 'The intake starts in September.'
Entry: French page: 'Admission en MSc 1e année: Accessible aux étudiants titulaires ou en cours d’obtention d’un niveau Bac +3. Concours Evolution 2'. Entry to MSc 2 involves an 'Oral de motivation en anglais et français'.
Her bar from Amity: No India page exists. A 3-year degree meets the 'Bac +3' requirement.
English: IELTS is not stated. 'TOEFL iBT: 79 minimum', waived for a degree taken in English.
Accreditation: CGE MSc label (ref. 1349), with a Grade de Master on the two-year route.
Compulsory modules: Common core: Research Methodology Seminar; Open Innovation Challenge; Crisis Night; Advanced Management; Business Ethics & CSR. Speciality (French page): Geopolitics for International Business; Global Finance; Global Legal Environment; Global Macroeconomics; Digital transformation and its impact on business and society; Basics in Python Programming; Big data Management; Introduction to data analytics using machine learning algorithms; International Business Project Management; International Management Strategy; International Marketing Strategy; International Purchasing and Sourcing; Organizational and strategic implications of machine learning; Law and Business Ethics / ...
Tech evidence: The French page's speciality list includes 'Basics in Python Programming' and 'Introduction to data analytics using machine learning algorithms', and no electives are indicated.

MSc Human Resources Manager (100% English track) Some data or analytics €12,650 · Starts Feb 2027 · 2 years

Fee: €12,650 (MSc 1) + €14,150 (MSc 2) = €26,800, plus a compulsory €700 non-European fee (€27,500). The course page shows the same figures for the September and February initial-training intakes. No academic-year label, no 2027-28 fees published, and no statement of which year's fee a February starter pays. Conflicting sources: OMNES International shows 'from €11,140' and 'from €13,040' plus a €490 pack, and INSEEC's generic February-intake page shows €10,990 and €14,790.
Length: 2 years (MSc 1 + MSc 2) for a 3-year bachelor's. A February MSc 1 start is an accelerated year (classes Feb to early July, 2 months in company), then MSc 2 from September, so about 19 months in total. A March MSc 2 start runs 18 months. Full-time students must spend at least 132 days in a company during MSc 2.
Start and deadline: Not confirmed for her entry level. INSEEC advertises February/March intakes and the English page says 'The next school year starts in February', but no 2027 date or 2027 grid is published. In Feb/Mar 2026 the English track ran only as MSc 2 (March, Paris), and MSc 1 that intake was French-only. A 3-year graduate enters MSc 1, so a February 2027 English start is unlikely unless admissions confirm it in writing. The realistic start is September 2027 in Paris, the only campus that ran the English MSc 1 in Sept/Oct 2026.
Entry: MSc 1 needs at least 3 years of higher education (180 ECTS) in HR, management, law, psychology, economics or sociology. Selection is by application file (CV, transcripts, cover letter) and an online motivation interview, held in English for 100% English programmes. First-time international arrivals cannot take the work-study route.
Her bar from Amity: There is no India page. INSEEC sets no grade, percentage or ranking bar, only 'MASTER 1 ADMISSION : Bachelor’s degree (3 years), 180 ECTS'. An Amity Noida 3-year graduate qualifies for MSc 1 on paper. MSc 2 needs 4 years of study, or a 3-year degree plus 3 years of work in the field, which she does not have. Admissions contact for India: Maud Le Bras, Zone Inde, via internationaladmissions@omneseducation.com.
English: IELTS is not listed. The only English test named is TOEFL (iBT 79, paper 550, computer 213). The test is waived if her degree was taught in English. Ask admissions whether they accept IELTS.
Accreditation: RNCP level 7 professional certification (France Compétences, RNCP41803) only. No CIPD, CMI, AACSB, EQUIS or AMBA accreditation for this MSc.
Compulsory modules: Year 1 cross-disciplinary: Budget management and dashboards; Software and decision-support tools; Negotiation applied to HR; Professional tools and methods; Corporate strategy and business plan. The Year 1 specialised list on both language pages is the Digital Marketing MSc list, copied word for word (Digital communication; TechAway: structure the data and GenAI; CRM; Data and digital marketing; ... Web analytics), so the real HR Year-1 content is unpublished. Year 2 (60 ECTS) is all HR: HR strategy and social audit; employer brand; CSR, diversity and ethics; dissertation methodology; talent management; recruitment, remuneration and payroll; employment and European law; psychosocial risks; ...
Tech evidence: Some compulsory modules use analytics and tools: dashboards, decision-support software, HRIS and computerised HR tools, HR performance indicators, and 'prompt engineering' in the FAQ. A DataScientest-run TechAway unit ('structure the data and GenAI') appears in the copied Year-1 list, and OMNES lists TechAway domains as Cybersécurité, No code, Data and Programmatique. No coding, ML or NLP is stated for this programme. Ask admissions which TechAway unit HR students take in 2027.

MSc Wine Marketing Management (INSEEC also calls it 'MSc Wine Sales & Marketing Management'; English-only track listed as 'Wine Marketing & Business Development (100% anglais)') Non-technical €12,650 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: €12,650 (MSc 1) + €16,550 (MSc 2) + €700 compulsory non-EU fee = €29,900 for a 3-year graduate. Same figures on the central fee page (Luxury or Wine/spirits), the course page International tab and the French February/March tab. No page names the academic year, and none says which year's rate a February 2027 or September 2027 starter pays. Older figures still show elsewhere: €12,190 + €16,290 (English Feb tab) and from €12,440 / €16,090 + €490 pack (OMNES page, last modified 2024).
Length: 2 years (MSc 1 + MSc 2, 120 ECTS) for a 3-year bachelor's; 1 year (MSc 2 only) for a 4-year degree in a relevant field. A February start for a 3-year graduate runs longer than 12 months: MSc 1 is compressed into 'less than a year', then MSc 2 with at least 132 days of placement.
Start and deadline: No January intake. A February/March intake is advertised ('The next school year starts in February'). The exact February 2027 date is not published (UNVERIFIABLE). Precedent: MSc 1 started 24 February 2025 and in 'février 2026'. The English track runs at Bordeaux (MSc 1 only) or Paris. September 2027 is the fallback.
Entry: At least 3 years of higher education in commerce, marketing, hospitality, viticulture or management (international rule: 'Bachelor's degree (3 years), 180 ECTS'). No minimum grade is stated. Online application, file review and interview. She must show interest in the wine sector. Work-study is closed to first-time international applicants.
Her bar from Amity: No India page. A 3-year Amity bachelor's meets the 'MASTER 1 ADMISSION: Bachelor's degree (3 years), 180 ECTS' rule. No grade threshold is published.
English: IELTS is not mentioned. TOEFL iBT 79 minimum (paper 550, computer 213), waived if the degree was obtained in English, which should cover an Amity graduate.
Accreditation: RNCP level 7 (France Compétences) only. No AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA, CIM, CMI or CIPD. Not the CGE-accredited MSc. RNCP39884 registration ends 28-11-2027, before she would graduate.
Compulsory modules: Year 1: Business game; Budget management and dashboards; Business English; Negotiations; Software and decision-support tools; Professional tools and methods; Corporate strategy and business plan; International trade applied to the wine sector; Capstone California wine certification (Level 1); Distribution and retailing policy; Business skills; TA prompt engineering; Strategic and operational marketing; Market focus; Digital marketing and e-commerce; Event marketing and communication; Consumer behaviour and customer experience; Logistics and supply chain; Masterclass. Year 2: Commercial strategy; Procurement and purchasing in the wine sector; Marketing and launching new brands; World wine ...
Tech evidence: PASS. The checker is right that every module is fixed (no electives), and that INSEEC's own pages give titles only: "TA prompt engineering", "Software and decision-support tools" and "Budget management and dashboards", with no descriptions (curl and a live Firecrawl scrape both confirm this). But the programme page links to the official competency framework it certifies, France Compétences RNCP 39884, and that framework settles what these modules cover. The compulsory common block BC04 covers Power BI-type dashboards, spreadsheet-type trackers and CRM use. The wine block BC07, which this MSc uses, covers generative AI as "prompt marketing".

Master Cycle in International Business Management (Programme Grande École, 100% English) Non-technical €13,390 · No January start · 2 months

Fee: €13,390 per year for the 2nd and 3rd years (course page, both the 'September Intake' and 'International' tabs), so €26,780 for the two years, plus a compulsory €700 fee for non-European students (€27,480). No academic year is named and 'Tuition fees vary from year to year', so the September 2027 price is not published. Other official figures differ: the central fee page shows €13,590 per year, and OMNES International shows €13,100 per year plus a €490 international pack. There is no January start, so no January fee exists.
Length: Two academic years. She enters the 2nd year (M1) and continues to the 3rd year (M2) of a 3-year, 180 ECTS programme. M1 runs Sept to Dec (pre-specialisation), then Jan to May mobility abroad and a placement of at least 2 months. M2 runs Sept to Dec, then a placement of at least 6 months, the Grand Oral and an applied research dissertation.
Start and deadline: No. Only a September/October intake ('Intake September / October'; OMNES: 'The intake starts in September.'). February intakes exist only for INSEEC Bachelor and MSc programmes. The earliest start is September 2027.
Entry: For M1 entry, a completed or in-progress Licence 3, Bachelor's or other qualification with at least 3 years of higher education. Admission is through the Evolution 2 competitive exam (application, an online English quiz, a motivation interview and an English interview). An 'Advanced level of English' is required. A second foreign language is compulsory (French as a foreign language for international students). Placements are compulsory. The site contradicts itself on whether the M1 semester abroad is optional or compulsory.
Her bar from Amity: There is no India-specific page. The international admission rule is 'MASTER 1 ADMISSION : Bachelor's degree (3 years), 180 ECTS credits or 90 US credits', and no minimum grade or percentage is published. A 3-year Amity Noida bachelor's degree meets the stated bar, subject to the Evolution 2 exam and interviews.
English: No IELTS score is published. English proof is 'TOEFL iBT: 79 minimum' (paper 550, computer 213). It is 'waived if you have obtained a degree in the language of the programme', so an English-medium Amity degree should qualify for the waiver. The Evolution 2 process still includes an online English quiz and an English interview.
Accreditation: The degree is state-approved and confers the Grade de Master. The programme has been AMBA-accredited since 2016 and carries RNCP level 7 (41044, registered until 31-08-2028). INSEEC is a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles and the Chapitre des Écoles de Management. The site claims no AACSB or EQUIS, and no CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: M1: Building autonomy and the ability to decipher the world; Professional methods, skills and practices; Career paths, with one pre-specialisation chosen from Finance, Marketing or Management. M2 core: Open Innovation Challenge; Research Methodology Seminar; Advanced management; Business Ethics & CSR; Preparing for the Grand Oral; Crisis Management Night. M2 speciality: Global finance; Global macroeconomics; Geopolitics of international affairs; International management strategy; International purchasing and procurement; International marketing strategy; Global legal environment; International business management. The site lists these titles 'as examples' and publishes no module ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module is about coding, ML, LLM/NLP or data science. The only digital content is RNCP skill block BC01 ('advanced and specialised uses of digital tools'), which covers using tools and watching tech trends and is assessed by case studies. The finance modules are standard business finance. Module descriptions are not published, so this rests on titles plus the RNCP block wording.

Master Cycle in Luxury Brand Management (Programme Grande École, 100% English) Non-technical €13,390 · No January start · Two years

Fee: No academic year is printed, so the September 2027 rate is not published. The course page shows €13,390 for M1 and €13,390 for M2 (total €26,780). The central fee page shows €13,590 per year (total €27,180). Non-EU students also pay a €700 one-off fee. The same fees apply to French and international students. A January 2027 start does not exist.
Length: Two years from M1 entry: M1 runs September to December on campus, January to May on exchange, then a placement of at least 2 months. M2 runs September to December, then a placement of at least 6 months (January to August). Full-time, Paris campus, September/October start only.
Start and deadline: No. Intake is September/October only. INSEEC's February intake covers only the Bachelor and MSc programmes, not the Grande École.
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's (180 ECTS) gives entry to M1 through the Evolution 2 competitive exam: an application, an online English quiz, and oral motivation and English interviews. The course requires "an advanced level of English".
Her bar from Amity: INSEEC has no India page and no published grade bar. Its international page asks for "Bachelor's degree (3 years), 180 ECTS credits or 90 US credits", so a 3-year Amity Noida degree is eligible, subject to the Evolution 2 exam.
English: IELTS is not listed on any INSEEC page. The stated test is TOEFL iBT 79 minimum, waived for a degree taught in English.
Accreditation: State-recognised Grade de Master, AMBA accredited since 2016, RNCP level 7 (41044), member of the CGE and the Chapitre des Écoles de Management. No AACSB, EQUIS, CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: M1: Building autonomy and the ability to decipher the world; Professional methods, skills and practices; Career paths. M2 core: Open Innovation Challenge; Research Methodology Seminar; Advanced management; Business Ethics & CSR; Preparing for the Grand Oral; Crisis Management Night. M2 speciality: Origins and history of luxury; Luxury brand management; CSR applied to the Luxury sector; Consumer behaviour and customer experience; Communication and new media; Art & Luxury; Luxury brand distribution. Also an applied research dissertation and the Grand Oral.
Tech evidence: No compulsory module title or programme skill involves coding, ML, LLM or NLP. INSEEC publishes no module descriptions, so the verdict rests on titles, the programme skills list and RNCP 41044, which require only user-level use of digital tools.

MSc labellisé CGE – Cosmetics Management and Brand Strategy (Paris, taught fully in English) Non-technical €9,950 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: €9,950 a year, so €19,900 for the 2-year route, plus a compulsory €700 contribution for non-Europeans (€20,600 total). Fees are the same for international students, but the non-European deposit amount differs and is not stated. No academic year is printed next to the fee; the course opens in September 2027. There is no January intake, so no January fee applies.
Length: 2 years full-time ('Initial') in Paris for a 3-year bachelor's (MSc 1 + MSc 2). 1 year (MSc 2) only for a 4-year degree, or for a 3-year degree plus 3 years' relevant work experience, which she does not have.
Start and deadline: No January or February 2027 start. The page says 'Rentrée Septembre / Octobre' and '(ouverture septembre 2027)'. The first intake is September 2027, which is her fallback date.
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's (Bac+3, 180 ECTS), held or in progress, and 'Bon niveau d'anglais'. Admission is by application plus oral interviews. For international applicants this is the online application followed by an online motivation interview. The concours name is inconsistent on the page (Evolution 1 in one place, Evolution 2 in the FAQ and on the admissions page). Year 1 includes compulsory 'French Culture' and 'French/Foreign Language'. The course page is in French only.
Her bar from Amity: No India page and no grade or ranking threshold. A 3-year Amity Noida bachelor's (180 ECTS equivalent) meets the stated 'Bachelor's degree (3 years)' bar for Master 1 entry. INSEEC has an India regional admissions contact.
English: IELTS is not stated anywhere. INSEEC asks for TOEFL iBT 79 minimum (paper 550, computer 213), waived if her degree was taught in English. The Grande École also runs an online English test (QCM) for applicants without TOEIC or TOEFL.
Accreditation: CGE MSc label, conferred by the Conférence des Grandes Écoles on 23 Feb 2026. The page also says the programme opens in September 2027. The 2-year route (MSc 1 + MSc 2, admission at Bac+3) awards the INSEEC Grande École (IGE) Grade de Master plus an RNCP level 7 title. The 1-year route (MSc 2 only, admission at Bac+4) awards only a Diplôme d'établissement MSc labellisé CGE, with no Grade de Master and no RNCP 7. The course page itself never mentions AMBA, EQUIS or AACSB (none of the three strings appears in its raw HTML). INSEEC's Grande École page says the IGE Grade de Master diploma has been AMBA-accredited since 2016. So AMBA reaches only the 2-year route, through the IGE Grade de ...
Compulsory modules: Year 1 core has 12 modules: INSEEC Digital Innovation Challenge (IDIC); Transitions in the contemporary world; Economic, Political and Social Issues; Advanced Excel; Introduction to management control; Corporate finance; Consumers' behavior; Applied market research; Strategic management; Project & Operations Management; French Culture; French/Foreign Language. Year 1 speciality has 9: Workshop «The Art of Makeup»; Workshop «The Art of Perfume»; Digital strategy & digital marketing; Purchasing, procurement and supply-chain; Sustainable sourcing, eco-design and packaging; Sustainable Brand management; The beauty ecosystem: players & dynamics; Workshop «The Art of Skincare»; The Beauty ...
Tech evidence: No compulsory module title mentions programming, ML, NLP, LLMs or building tech. 'Advanced Excel' is spreadsheet use, and AI appears only as an industry trend ('Beauty tch, Greentech, AI and Asian beauty'). INSEEC publishes no module descriptions (only titles on the page and in the 2025-26 catalogue), so this verdict rests on titles.

MSc International Business Management (100% English) Some data or analytics €12,650 · Starts Feb 2027 · Two years

Fee: EUR 12,650 (MSc 1) + EUR 14,150 (MSc 2) + EUR 700 compulsory non-EU fee = EUR 27,500 for the two years. This is on the central fee page (Full-time in English), the French page's 'Rentrée Février/Mars' tab and the English page's 'International' tab. No page names an academic year, and the 2027-28 fees are not published. The sources conflict: the older English February tab says EUR 12,190 + 13,890, OMNES International says 'from EUR 12,440 + 13,840' plus a EUR 490 pack, and omneseducation.com says EUR 11,500 + 12,800. September 2027 shows the same EUR 12,650 + 14,150. Get the 2027 fee in writing.
Length: Two years (MSc 1 + MSc 2) for a 3-year bachelor holder, so more than 12 months. On the Feb/Mar 2026 grid, a February start at Bordeaux or Lyon was a 6-month MSc 1 followed by a 12-month MSc 2 (about 18 months), and at Paris 12 + 12 months. MSc 2 includes at least 132 days in a company. Direct one-year entry to MSc 2 needs a 4-year degree (240 credits).
Start and deadline: Yes, a February/March 2027 intake is advertised ('The next school year starts in February'). The exact date is not published, and the only calendar is 'RENTRÉE FÉVRIER/MARS 2026'. In 2026 the 100% English MSc 1 ran at Bordeaux, Lyon and Paris.
Entry: A minimum of 3 years' higher education (180 ECTS). A sufficient level of English and an interview in English. A second foreign language is compulsory (French as a foreign language is available). Work-study is not open to first-time international applicants, so she would pay full-time fees.
Her bar from Amity: There is no India entry page and no minimum grade is published. A 3-year Amity bachelor's degree (180 ECTS) qualifies for MSc 1, which means the two-year route. Direct entry to MSc 2 needs 240 credits (4 years), or a 3-year degree plus 3 years' experience in the same field, subject to the school's approval.
English: IELTS is not stated. The only English test listed is TOEFL iBT 79 (paper 550, computer 213). The test is waived if the applicant's degree was taught in English.
Accreditation: RNCP level 7 professional certification (France Compétences) only. AMBA and CGE apply to the INSEEC Grande École, not this MSc. There is no AACSB, EQUIS, CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: The page gives no compulsory/elective split, and the words "elective" and "optional" do not appear on it. The courses are listed only "as examples" and "may vary depending on the teaching campus". Year 1 (60 ECTS) has 20 units. Cross-disciplinary (7): Business Game; Budget management & dashboards; Take action for the transition from a business perspective; Negotiation; Software and decision tools; Tools & professional methods; Company strategy & business plan. Specialised (13): TA prompt engineering; International legal environment & business law; Geopolitics and business approach; International purchasing and supply chain management logistics; Cross-cultural management; International ...
Tech evidence: Two compulsory units have no description: 'TA prompt engineering' (Year 1) and 'TechAway NLP & LLM' (Year 2). TechAway is the OMNES and DataScientest certificate programme, which covers Data, Dev, Cybersecurity and No-code at three levels, and some of its units are Python. The same NLP & LLM unit is also compulsory on INSEEC's communication, sport marketing and business development MSc programmes, which points to a user-level AI unit. No syllabus confirms whether it involves coding. Ask admissions for the 2027 TechAway syllabus.

MSc Luxury, Fashion & Customer Experience Manager (100% English track; listed in INSEEC's schedule as 'Luxury and Fashion Marketing & Customer Experience (100% anglais)') Some data or analytics €12,650 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: Fees are the same for all nationalities. Feb/Mar intake, full-time (page edited 7 Oct 2026, no academic-year label): MSc 1 €12,650 + MSc 2 €16,550, plus a one-off €700 International Package for non-EU students. That is about €29,900 in total for a 3-year-degree holder. The September tab shows the same €12,650 + €16,550. The 2027-28 fees and the academic year a February start pays are not stated. The older English page (Mar 2026) February tab showed €12,190 + €16,290.
Length: 2 years (MSc 1 + MSc 2, 120 ECTS) for a 3-year bachelor's, which is the Amity route. 1 year (MSc 2) needs a 4-year degree. A February start compresses MSc 1 ('Catch up on the 1st year of MSc in less than a year'). In the Feb/Mar 2026 schedule the English track ran MSc 1 over 6 months at Bordeaux (then a 12-month MSc 2) or over 12 months at Paris, and a February MSc 2 entry ran 18 months. A February 2027 start therefore takes about 18 to 24 months, well over 12.
Start and deadline: No January intake. The February/March 2027 intake is advertised ('Prochaine rentrée en février/mars 2027'), but the exact date is not published, and neither is the 2027 English-track campus list. In 2026 the English track ran at Bordeaux and Paris. The September/October intake is the fallback.
Entry: A minimum of 3 years of higher education (180 ECTS) in marketing, communication, fashion, design, management or human sciences, plus 'Bon niveau en anglais'. Applicants must show an interest in luxury. Admission is by online application, a file review and an interview. Work-study is not open to first-year international arrivals. MSc 2 requires a 132-day professional placement.
Her bar from Amity: INSEEC has no India page and publishes no grade threshold. An Amity 3-year bachelor's meets 'MASTER 1 ADMISSION: Bachelor's degree (3 years), 180 ECTS credits' if it is in one of the listed fields. The only India-specific item is an India-zone admissions contact.
English: No IELTS score is published. The official requirement is 'TOEFL iBT: 79 minimum', and the test is waived for a degree taught in the programme's language, which would cover an English-medium Amity degree. The IELTS 6.0 figure appears only on third-party agent sites.
Accreditation: RNCP level 7 (France Compétences) only. INSEEC's AMBA accreditation and CGE membership cover the Grande École programme, not this MSc. The MSc has no AACSB, EQUIS, CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: The checker is right. INSEEC has no separate curriculum page for the English track; the search turned up only the French and English versions of the same programme page, and the two list different modules. FRENCH PAGE (article:modified_time 2026-10-07) Year 1 has 20 modules, as the sweep said. - Cours transversaux (8): Gestion budgétaire et tableaux de bord; Business English; Négociation; Business skills; Systèmes d'aide à la décision; Outils et méthodes professionnelles; Stratégie d'entreprise et business plan; Business Game. - Cours spécialisés (12): Stratégie et expérience client; Comportement du Consommateur; Marketing Stratégique & Opérationnel; Marketing Digital et E-Commerce; ...
Tech evidence: BORDERLINE (low risk). The official course list (English page, which states "Languages | English | French") has no elective slots in Year 1, and it includes "Data analysis – CRM and marketing", which is analytics-flavoured. No module states any coding. The GenAI module is labelled "No code" (prompt engineering as a user), and "Software and decision-support tools" is about using tools. The diploma requires "all the skill blocks have been completed without exception", so these modules cannot be skipped. INSEEC also says the listed courses "are given as examples and may vary slightly depending on the teaching campus". The current French list has "Systèmes d'aide à la décision", "TA Tech for ...

Master of Science Project Management (INSEEC MSc, taught 100% in English; Bordeaux, Lyon, Paris) Some data or analytics €12,650 · No January start · Two years

Fee: Full-time ('Initial 100% ENG'): MSc year 1 €12,650 and MSc year 2 €14,150. The page prints the two-year total as €25,951, although the two years add up to €26,800. Non-European students also pay a compulsory €700. No academic year is shown on any fee page, so the September 2027 fee is unconfirmed but these are the current published figures. No February 2027 fee applies.
Length: Two years (MSc 1 + MSc 2, 120 ECTS) for a 3-year bachelor's. One year (direct MSc 2) for a 4-year degree. MSc 2 includes at least 132 days of company placement.
Start and deadline: No January 2027 start, and in practice no February 2027 start either. The course page lists "Intake: September / October, February / March" and says "Start your journey in September or February." However, the application portal that the course page's Apply button uses has no Spring 2026/2027 (February 2027) session for "MSc - Project Management" on any campus. It does list 27 English-taught Spring 2026/2027 entries for other MSc programmes. For this course, the portal only has Fall 2026/2027 and Fall 2027/2028 entries, for Bordeaux, Lyon and Paris. The only entry open to international applicants is Paris, MSc 1, Fall 2027/2028, so the realistic start is September/October 2027 in Paris. The ...
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's degree (180 ECTS) in project management, business, commerce, marketing, engineering or a related field, through an online application and interview. Direct entry to MSc 2 needs 240 ECTS, or a 3-year degree plus 3 years of experience in the same field.
Her bar from Amity: There is no India page. A 3-year Amity Noida bachelor's meets the MSc 1 bar (180 ECTS). No grade minimum is published. With one internship she does not qualify for MSc 2 under the 3-years-experience route.
English: IELTS is not stated by INSEEC. Accepted English evidence is TOEFL iBT 79 (paper 550, computer 213). The test is waived if her degree was taught in English.
Accreditation: RNCP Level 7 professional certification only (France Compétences, 28/11/2024). The course is not CGE-accredited, and there is no AACSB, EQUIS or AMBA tied to it, and no CIM, CMI or CIPD.
Compulsory modules: Year 1: Business English; Software and decision tools; Company strategy and business plan; Professional tools and methods; Budget management & dashboard; Business & marketing strategy; Retail Strategy; Purchasing & logistics; Advanced Negotiation Techniques; Performance management; Team management & leadership; Driving sales performance; CRM; The Customer journey; BtoB sales strategy; Commercial activation and retail performance; Driving innovation; Commercial law; Trade marketing; Digital marketing & CRM; TechAway: Tech for All; Business Game. Year 2: Business Strategy and commercial development; Market Research & activity development; Purchasing & supply chain management; Augmented ...
Tech evidence: Several compulsory modules are AI- or data-flavoured: TechAway: Tech for All (Year 1), plus Data Structuring & Generative AI, Data management, Client engineering & AI and IT tools applied to project management (Year 2). No coding is stated. The RNCP 39884 skills mention only user-level tools (spreadsheet-type tracking, Power BI-type dashboards, CRM, generative-AI prompting). The risk is that OMNES describes its group-wide TechAway programme as including 'data science' and 'programmation' alongside the Tech For All AI-literacy core. No module descriptions are published, so she should ask the school whether the Year 1 module contains any coding.

MSc Digital Marketing & E-Commerce (100% English track) Some data or analytics €12,650 · No January start · Two years

Fee: No fee page names an academic year, and 2027-28 fees are not published. The course page 'International' tab shows €12,650 for MSc 1 and €14,150 for MSc 2. The 'February Intake' tab shows €10,990 and €13,890. Non-EU students also pay a compulsory €700. No page says which rate applies to an international student starting in February. The central page ('Full-time in English') shows €12,650 and €14,150 and says fees are the same for international students. OMNES International shows 'from €11,140' and 'from €13,040', plus a €490 pack. Get the fee in writing.
Length: Two years (MSc 1 + MSc 2, 120 ECTS) for a 3-year bachelor's, or one year (MSc 2 only) for a 4-year degree. On the February 2026 grid, the English MSc 1 in Paris ran 'sur 12 mois' and the English MSc 2 for the February intake ran 'sur 18 mois'. So a February start can take longer than 24 months in total. MSc 2 includes at least 132 days in a company.
Start and deadline: There is no January intake. A February/March intake is advertised ('The next school year starts in February.'), but no February 2027 date or grid is published. The latest grid is 'RENTRÉE FÉVRIER/MARS 2026', where the English track ran in Paris only. OMNES lists the English track at Paris and Lyon.
Entry: At least 3 years of higher education (a bachelor's, 180 ECTS) in marketing, communication, IT, management or sales. Selection is by application, an online interview and an admission decision. No minimum grade is published. RNCP adds that a 'niveau d'anglais professionnel' is needed for the English programme. Work-study is closed to first-time international arrivals, so she would be full-time.
Her bar from Amity: There is no India page, only an admissions contact for the India zone. A 3-year Amity bachelor's meets the MSc 1 bar ('Bachelor's degree (3 years), 180 ECTS credits'), and no grade or percentage threshold is stated.
English: IELTS is not stated. The page asks for TOEFL iBT 79 (paper 550, computer 213), and the test is waived if her degree was taught in English.
Accreditation: RNCP level 7 (France Compétences no. 39592) only. INSEEC names no AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA, CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation for this MSc.
Compulsory modules: No electives are listed. Year 1: Business English; Budget management and dashboards; Software and decision-support tools; Professional tools and methods; Corporate strategy and business plan; Digital communication; TechAway: structure the data and GenAI; Customer relations management (CRM); Data and digital marketing; E-business; Legal environment for e-commerce; Focus on markets and products; Introduction to digital transformation; Digital project management; Creative process and graphic design; E-reputation, marketing automation and inbound; Digital strategy and SEO policy; Web analytics. Year 2: Communication strategy and digital marketing; Applied research dissertation; Digital ...
Tech evidence: Two compulsory TechAway units, 'structure the data and GenAI' and 'automation and database', are run with DataScientest and have no module descriptions. OMNES-wide, TechAway covers 'Data, Dev, Cybersécurité, No code', and ESCE's version includes Python and LLM topics, so ask which content applies here. Year 2 also requires 'Design and development of an e-commerce site', 'UX/UI design' and 'Web analytics'. The FAQ names only user tools ('Software dedicated to the production of e-commerce sites', 'Marketing automation and CRM tools'), and the RNCP e-commerce block is managerial ('choix du CMS'). No coding is stated anywhere.

The MSc age limit is 35. No work experience is needed. The process is a €100 fee, CV, cover letter, transcripts and a one-way video interview, followed by a German study visa.
Her bar from Amity: ICN has no India-specific page, so the general international rule applies. An Amity Noida graduate needs 60% overall, 70% in English, Maths and business subjects, IELTS 6 and age 35 or under. A three-year Amity degree enters Year 1, which means two years of study.

The 2025-26 DSM core 'Big Data & Business Analytics' (for non-specialists) included ML and neural-network lectures; whether it is Data Management's forerunner is unconfirmed. No coding is stated anywhere. All luxury modules are non-technical.

Management and international business 1

Master in Management (Programme Grande École, English track, 2-year international entry) Technical €14,800 · No January start · 2 years

Fee: Jan/Feb 2027: not offered. Sept 2027 (2027/28 table): Year 1 €14,800 ('same fee for all nationalities') + Year 2 €14,500, about €29,300 in total. Deposit €4,000 (€800 if no visa is needed), deducted from fees. The programme page still shows an unlabelled 'Year 1: €14,500'. Go by the labelled 2027/28 table.
Length: 2 years full time (MiM 1 + MiM 2; a 180-ECTS bachelor's enters PGE Year 2 = MiM Year 1). There is no January start, so no January length applies.
Start and deadline: No. Intake is September only. The Sept 2027 date is not yet published (the 2026 MiM 1 English starts were Mon 7 Sep Nancy, Tue 8 Sep Paris, Tue 15 Sep Berlin). Non-European application deadline: 12 June 2027.
Entry: Bachelor's degree or equivalent; 'Minimum 60% overall academic achievement'; 'Minimum 70% in English, Mathematics, and business-related subjects'; 'B2 level in English (official test required)'; 'Master in Management: maximum age of 28'; €100 application fee plus an asynchronous video interview.
Her bar from Amity: ICN has no India-specific page. The general international bar applies to an Amity Noida graduate: 60% overall, 70% in English, Maths and business subjects (ICN does not say whether this means Class 12 or degree marks), IELTS 6, and age 28 or under. A 3-year Amity bachelor's (180 ECTS equivalent) enters MiM Year 1.
English: English programmes: IELTS 6 / TOEIC 750 / TOEFL 80 / Duolingo 105
Accreditation: School: AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS (triple accreditation; ICN says AMBA covers its MBA programmes). Programme: Grade de Master (MESR), RNCP 39271, CGE/CEFDG. No CIM, CMI or CIPD accreditation.
Compulsory modules: MiM 1 core (all tracks, 2026-27): Financial decisions; Financial Risks Management; Marketing Decisions; Information Systems (15h, user-level AI/BI tools); Management Control; Professional English; Digital and Ecological Transformations; Business Development; Research Methodology (qualitative); Quantitative Analysis (15h, 2 ECTS); Sustainable Management of Organisations; Risk, foresight & innovation; plus an ATM workshop each semester. Track courses: Paris/Nancy Marketing ENG = Consumer Behaviour, Innovation and market research, Branding and product design, Product/service range management and digital marketing. Management of Organisations = Purchasing function and negotiation, ...
Tech evidence: FAIL (mild). Only one compulsory module causes it: Quantitative Analysis (QUAN4002), 15h, 2 ECTS, in semester S4 of the 2-year entrant's first year (ICN's PGE Year 2, "Learning through Research" teaching unit). In that year only the Field 1 to 4 slots are chosen, so this module cannot be avoided. Its outline includes "Introduction to Statistical Learning: Classification and Clustering" and PCA, the course textbook is ISLR (statistical learning with R), and exercises use "R/Gretl/SPSS/Excel". It is assessed by a 2-hour written test. R is offered next to the point-and-click tools Gretl, SPSS and Excel, so coding itself may not be required. The classification and clustering content is still ...

It is one of only two ICN ...
MSc Smart & Sustainable Supply Chain Management (English, Paris; February and September 2027): Supply chain and operations are outside marketing, management and HR. Year 2 also makes 'Power BI and VBA (TOSA)' compulsory, and VBA is programming. For reference, the February 2027 fee is 'Year 1 €13,000, Year 2 €13,000'.
MSc Marketing digital et stratégies d'influence (Paris): The page lists 'Language French' and 'Work-study rhythm', with a September intake only. ICN's February 2027 landing page mentions an 'MSc in Digital Marketing', but the only one in the catalogue and fee table is this French-taught programme.
MSc Performance commerciale et relation client (Nancy and Paris): It is taught in French ('Language French', 'Work-study Rhythm'). The fee table says 'Direct entry to Year 2 only, Sept 2027'.
MSc Corporate Finance & Tech, also listed as MSc 'Finance' (English, Paris and Berlin): It is a finance and fintech specialism, outside her target areas.
MSc Finance, Risk and Markets: It is a finance specialism. The fee table lists it in French in Paris ('Finance, risques et marchés FR Paris').
MSc Banque et gestion de patrimoine (Nancy): It is a banking and finance programme taught in French.
Master in Management HR specialisation 'Management des ressources humaines et innovations sociales' (MiM year 2): ICN has no HR master's degree, and HR exists only as this MiM year-2 specialisation.

Executive MBA: It requires '5 years' professional experience'.
Executive Education 'Master of Science' (professional route): It requires 'Bachelor's level (180 ECTS) and 1 year of professional experience'. It leads to the same DESSMI degrees as the student MSc route above, which needs no experience.
DBA, Executive PhD, PhD: These are doctoral programmes.
Bachelor in Management, International BBA, Bachelor of Science and Arts in Business, Foundation Programme: These are undergraduate programmes.
MSc Innovative Business Models & Greentech Start-ups: It appears only on old landing pages. Its programme URLs return 404, and it has no row in the 2027/28 fee table, so it seems to be discontinued.
'MSc in International Management', 'MSc in Management', 'MSc in International Business Management', 'MSc in Business': These names appear on the administrative procedures page and the February 2027 landing page. None has a programme page or a row in the fee table, so they are not separate programmes. ICN's general management route is the Master in Management.

Master of Science in French Luxury & Global Marketing Non-technical if she skips some options Starts Feb 2027 · 20 months

Fee: 2027 fees are not published. Latest January/February 2026 intake: 9,690€ per year (2-year MSc) plus 700€ international fee for non-EU applicants living outside France. Latest September 2026 intake: 9,950€ per year plus 700€ (the Oct 2026 flyer shows '2 YEARS 10 650€'). Deposit 3,500€, included. 'ESCE reserves the right to change its tuition fees each year.' No page says which year's rate a February starter pays in year two.
Length: 2-year MSc (4 semesters). February 2027 intake: Feb to Jun 2027, Sept 2027 to Jan 2028, Jan to Apr 2028, then internship and thesis Apr to Sept 2028 (about 20 months, longer than 12). The 3-semester Fast Track (Jan intake: Jan to Jun, Sept to Jan, Jan to Jun) needs a 4-year management degree.
Start and deadline: Yes. There is a February intake ('Enroll in an ESCE Master of Science program starting in February'), and this MSc is listed on the staggered-intake page updated 19/10/2026. No exact start day for 2027 is published.
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's (180 ECTS) 'or equivalent in a field related to management or business administration', strong English, an application file and an interview. No minimum grade is published. Application fee €50 to €80 (pages differ).
Her bar from Amity: No India-specific rule. ESCE's India page lists only exchange partners. A 3-year Amity BBA or other business degree meets the 180-ECTS rule. A non-business degree may not qualify for the February intake.
English: No IELTS band published by ESCE. ESCE asks for an English language certificate (TOEFL or IELTS given as examples) and the luxury MSc page asks for 'strong English skills'. The only level ESCE states is CEFR B2 English, in its generic MSc programme sheet dated July 2023, which does not name the luxury MSc. The international admissions page marks proof of English as optional, with an interview with admissions as an alternative. The 'TOEFL iBT 79 minimum' rule and the waiver for a degree taught in English are on INSEEC's page, a sister OMNES school, not on any ESCE page.
Accreditation: No CIM, CMI, CIPD, AMBA or EQUIS. ESCE is an AACSB member, not AACSB-accredited. EFMD (EPAS) covers only ESCE's Grande École programme, not this MSc. Recognition comes from the state-recognised DEACI, Level 7, RNCP 41190.
Compulsory modules: Universe of Luxury & French Artistic Heritage; Responsible Luxury Brand Management & Communication; Ethics in the French Luxury Industry; Digital Marketing; Market Analysis & Strategic Development; Geopolitics for Business Affairs. Core: Prompt Engineering; Geopolitics & Business; Project & Change Management; Cybersecurity; Law & Business. Also Foreign Language (French for non-French speakers) and Persuasive Communication. Then an internship of 4 to 6 months in France or abroad, and a Master's thesis.
Tech evidence: The specialised courses are heritage, brand management and communication, ethics, digital marketing and market analysis, and none of them mentions coding. The core 'Prompt Engineering' and 'Cybersecurity' courses teach AI and security as a user. No module grid exists for this MSc. ESCE's TechAway scheme includes 'basics of the Python programming language', but in the sibling MSc grid that is an elective paired with 'TechAway- no Code', so she should pick No Code and get written confirmation from internationaladmissions@omneseducation.com.

Master of Science in AI-Driven Marketing & Innovation (formerly MSc International Marketing) Some data or analytics €9,950 · Starts Feb 2027 · 2 years

Fee: Rates labelled for 2027 are not published. The Oct 2026 brochure and flyer, which advertise a 'September or January' intake, give €9,950/year plus €700 for non-EU students (flyer: '2 YEARS 10 650€'), with a €3,500 deposit included. The rates page still shows Jan/Feb 2026 at €9,690/year + €700 and Sept 2026 at €9,950/year + €700. A January 2026 start paid the September 2025 rate (€9,690), so a January start pays the rate of the academic year that began the previous September. Sept 2027 is not published, and ESCE 'reserves the right to change its tuition fees each year'.
Length: 2 years (4 semesters). A February 2027 start runs Feb–Jun 2027, Sept 2027–Jan 2028, Jan–Apr 2028, then the internship and thesis Apr–Sept 2028, about 20 months in total (more than 12). A 3-semester Fast Track needs a 4-year management degree. The course page says the Fast Track starts in September only, but the brochure shows a January Fast Track.
Start and deadline: Yes, there is a January/February 2027 intake ('Next start dates : January or September'; spring-intake MSc 'Start date : February'). No exact 2027 date is published, and the FR page says 'Début des cours : janvier'.
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's (180 ECTS) in management or business sciences ('Bac+3 ... dans un domaine lié au management ou aux sciences de gestion'). The application needs a CV, cover letter, transcripts, a recommendation and English proof, followed by an interview. No minimum grade is published. The application fee is quoted as €50, €70 or €80 on different pages.
Her bar from Amity: No India-specific page or percentage bar (/en/india/ lists only exchange partners). A 3-year Amity business degree meets the 180-ECTS rule. A non-business degree would need confirmation from admissions.
English: No IELTS band is published. OMNES lists 'TOEFL iBT: 79 minimum', waived if the earlier degree was taught in English. ESCE asks for 'an English language certificate' (or an interview with admissions).
Accreditation: No CIM, CMI or CIPD. The degree is the state-recognised DEACI (Level 7, RNCP 41190). ESCE is an AACSB member only (not accredited). EFMD accredits ESCE's Grande Ecole Programme, not this MSc. ESCE is a CGE member.
Compulsory modules: Innovation 5.0; Social Media Marketing; Growth Hacking; New Technologies; Digital Marketing; Relationship Marketing; Marketing Communication & Brand Management; Marketing for Sustainable Business; Professional Workshops; Field Projects (HubSpot certification prep, Cesim simulation). Core: Prompt Engineering; Cybersecurity; Geopolitics & Business; International Project Management; Change Management; Law & Business; Foreign Language; Persuasive Communication. The 2024-25 grid (as MSc International Marketing) also lists Emerging Technologies, TechAway Cybersecurity, Quantitative and qualitative methodologies, Social Media Algorithms, a Marketing Capstone and Final Thesis Methodology.

Tech evidence: No compulsory module states coding, but none of the AI-flavoured compulsory modules has a published description ('New Technologies', 'Growth Hacking', 'Social Media Algorithms', 'Quantitative and qualitative methodologies' under 'Research & Data Science'). The objectives say 'Apply data analytics and intelligent technologies', and the head says 'AI integrated across all courses'. Prompt Engineering is user-level AI.

Fee: Fees for Sept 2027 are not published. The latest rate (Sept 2026) is 12,190€ per year for the Grande École Programme, plus a 700€ additional fee for non-EU students living outside France. The €3,500 deposit is included. ESCE 'reserves the right to change its tuition fees each year'. There is no Jan/Feb fee because this track does not start in January.
Length: 2 years (4th and 5th year of the Grande École Programme), full-time, Paris, 100% English. 4th year: one campus semester, then one exchange semester (Baruch College New York is an option). 5th year: one campus semester, then a 6-month internship and a thesis at the end of the year.

Entry: Entry is into the 4th year (M1) with 180 ECTS, i.e. a 3-year bachelor's. International applicants send an online file (€50 fee: passport, CV, cover letter, last diploma, three years of transcripts) and do a distance interview. No minimum grade is published.

Master of Science in International Business Development (2-year MSc; 1-year Fast Track) Some data or analytics €12,440 · Starts Feb 2027 · 2 years

Fee: 9,950 EUR per year tuition plus 700 EUR non-EU package, so 10,650 EUR per year (about 21,300 EUR for two years if unchanged). Source: Oct 2026 brochure and flyer, and the rates page's Sept 2026 table. No fee is labelled for Jan/Feb 2027 or Sept 2027. The Jan 2026 intake paid the Sept 2025 rate (9,690 EUR), so a Jan/Feb 2027 start most likely pays the 2026-27 rate of 9,950 + 700 EUR. The 3,500 EUR deposit is included. ESCE 'reserves the right to change its tuition fees each year'. Conflict: OMNES International lists 'Full-time: €12,440' plus a 490 EUR pack. Get the 2027 fee in writing.
Length: 2 years (4 semesters) for a 3-year degree holder. A Jan/Feb 2027 start runs Feb to Jun 2027, Sept 2027 to Jan 2028, Jan to Apr 2028, then Apr to Sept 2028 for the internship and thesis, about 20 months. Fast Track needs a 4-year management degree (Jan intake Jan 2027 to Jun 2028, about 18 months), but the programme page says Fast Track starts in September only.
Start and deadline: Yes, there is a spring intake, but the exact 2027 date is not published. The English spring page says it 'begins in February', the French page says classes start in January, and the Oct 2026 brochure shows 'Feb intake : Feb - Jun'. The programme page still reads 'Next start dates : January or September 2026'.
Entry: A 3-year bachelor's degree (180 ECTS) in management, business administration or a related field. Applicants send a passport, an English CV, a statement of purpose, transcripts or diploma, proof of English and a recommendation letter, then sit an online interview. The application fee is 50, 70 or 80 EUR depending on the page. No minimum grade is published.
Her bar from Amity: There is no India-specific page or percentage cut-off; ESCE's India page only lists partner universities. On paper, a 3-year Amity Noida bachelor's in business or management meets the 3-year/180 ECTS rule. A degree outside business could be questioned.
English: No IELTS band is published. OMNES requires TOEFL iBT 79, but says the test is 'waived if you have obtained a diploma in the program language', so an English-medium Amity degree should qualify. ESCE's international page lists English proof as optional, or replaced by an interview.
Accreditation: Not accredited by CIM, CMI or CIPD. ESCE is an AACSB member, not AACSB-accredited. EFMD accreditation covers only the Grande École Programme, not this MSc. ESCE is a CGE member and holds the EFMD BSIS label. The MSc itself carries a state-endorsed DEACI, Level 7, RNCP 41190.

Master International Business Development (Grande École Programme / Master in Management, 4th-year entry) Technical No January start · 2 years

Fee: No 2027 fee published. September 2026: Grande École 12,190€ per year plus 700€ for non-EU international students (3,500€ deposit included), paid for each of the 2 years. January/February 2026 staggered start: Grande École 11,950€ plus 700€. No January 2027 figure, and the table does not say which rate a January starter pays for the 5th year. 'ESCE reserves the right to change its tuition fees each year.'
Length: 2 years (4th and 5th year). Standard route: 4th year has an academic semester in Paris or Lyon and an international exchange; 5th year has an academic semester and a 6-month internship, or work-study. The January route (last run Jan 2026) has Jan to Apr in Paris, May to Jul in London, then the full 5th year, so it runs well over 12 months. No end date is published.
Start and deadline: No, a January 2027 start is not offered on current evidence, so plan for September 2027. The old spring-intake page is still online but talks only about January 2026, and its Nov/Dec/Jan admission table is empty (curl and Firecrawl with maxAge 0 both show this). ESCE's newest official material, uploaded 13 to 14 Oct 2026, lists only a September start for 3rd and 4th-year entry.

Tech evidence: FAIL. 'Advanced Data Management and Analysis' (5 ECTS, Y4, Fall) is one of the four courses in the International Business Development specialization. ESCE's own course catalogue says 'The entire specialization must be chosen', and the official programme page (updated 19 Oct 2026) still lists the course. The course teaches Excel VBA, which is macro programming, and assesses it through a graded 'Excel and VBA project' worth 20%. That is coding in a compulsory module. The sweep's 'no coding stated' is wrong. The 'machine learning algorithms' wording appears only as one example inside an assessment criterion ('such as machine learning algorithms or data visualization software'), so VBA, not ML, ...
