MSc Spirits Commerce

The subject is the business of distilled spirits: what a cask costs to lay down, how a warehouse account works, and what an export file must contain. Poland is the case, including visitor retail. You do not sit an excise officer's exam and you do not represent a distillery. The project is a route-to-market brief for a small bottling.

MSc Spirits Commerce is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Cask economics through Cask economics; Warehouse accounts; Export files; Visitor retail; Excise records as operations; Route to market, and finish on Route to market.

Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim.

The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Cost a cask and its angel's share Read a warehouse account Build an export document set

Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.

The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

The credit total on this page is the sum of the courses in the curriculum. Assessment is the work named on each course.
