Move Forward: MSc Business Administration from Charleston, United States

Build your next chapter without leaving the place you call home. The MSc Business Administration, offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, lets you develop your business knowledge while living and working in Charleston, United States.

With an internationally applicable foundation in business theory, the programme can help you examine decisions from fresh perspectives and bring new ideas to your career—wherever that career takes you.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

Graduates earn a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. It is a qualification you can present as you pursue opportunities in Charleston or beyond.

Its international recognition can be especially valuable if you work across borders or hope to do so in the future. You can gain a credential that travels with your ambitions.

Complete your studies 100% online in as little as one year

The programme can be completed entirely online, so you can pursue your degree from Charleston without relocating or travelling to campus. Depending on your pace, you may be able to finish in as little as one year.

That flexibility makes it possible to set a goal that feels both ambitious and achievable. You can continue building your professional experience while working towards your qualification.

Study without fixed online attendance times

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates. Rather than arranging every week around scheduled live attendance, you can engage with your studies when it fits your routine.

Whether your most productive hours are early in the morning or after the working day, you have room to plan your learning around your responsibilities. That freedom can help you keep moving forward when life gets busy.

Take your learning wherever you go

Your studies need not stop when you leave Charleston. You can study from anywhere in the world, including while travelling for work or taking a trip.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a quiet moment away from your desk can become an opportunity to keep learning.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you an opportunity to work with the ideas and resources you have studied.

For a business student, that approach can make assessment feel connected to the thoughtful analysis needed in professional life. It encourages you to engage with concepts, not simply recall them under exam conditions.

Learn from faculty with distinguished academic backgrounds

Programme tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Learning from educators with varied academic backgrounds can broaden the perspectives you encounter. Their guidance can help you challenge assumptions and develop confidence in your own thinking.

Join a truly international learning community

Students come from more than 130 countries, bringing different professional experiences and viewpoints to the learning environment. Those perspectives can enrich discussions and help you consider how business ideas apply across international settings.

Alumni work for international organisations including P&G, GM, Caterpillar, PepsiCo, DHL, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, Louis Vuitton, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Verizon, Chevron, JW Marriott, The Ritz, Hilton, the University of California Riverside, Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie, the United Nations, Google, the World Bank, ICRC, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their paths illustrate the breadth of sectors in which members of this community have built careers.

Plan your investment with interest-free instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan alongside your existing commitments.

Clearer payment planning means you can focus on what you want to gain from your studies: knowledge, perspective and the momentum to pursue your next goal.

Bring a wider business perspective to Charleston

Charleston’s port, logistics and manufacturing activity makes it a compelling place to think about operations, supply chains and growth. Studying business administration can help you explore the strategic decisions behind complex organisations while you remain connected to the industries around you.

The region’s tourism and hospitality sector offers another setting in which to apply business thinking. Whether your interests lie in service quality, leadership or long-term planning, a broader understanding of business can help you approach new challenges with greater perspective.

Charleston is also home to growing technology and professional-services activity. If you hope to develop your career in these fields—or move between sectors—the programme’s internationally applicable theory can give you a foundation for examining change, working with others and assessing opportunities.
