MSc Wine Management

The Master of Science in Wine Management is a postgraduate programme fully taught in English that provides an excellent and unique opportunity to recent Bachelor programme graduates with an interest in a wine management career but with no specific prior experience.

The MSc Wine Management is an original programme created by BSB in 2012. Since then, a tremendous amount of work has been put in place to make the MSc Wine Management the best programme in content, faculty and teaching approach. This holistic programme allows students to not only obtain a global vision in the wine industry, but also gain management and financial skills in spirits and beer industries, having an in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of the international business environment, as well as advanced international management practice. The degree aims to produce corporate specialists, allowing graduates to apply with confidence for all managerial openings in wine, spirits and beer industries.
