• Overview

  This dynamic and flexible course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the functions and processes involved in managing complex organisations.

  You’ll cover the core concepts, practices and techniques of management and develop the skills required to lead. You’ll learn about organisational behaviour and the business and economic environment, as well as specific functions like accounting, marketing and supply chain management. Diverse optional modules will also allow you to tailor your course to suit your own interests and career plans, focusing on topics such as human resource management, management consulting, marketing strategy and international finance.

  Whether you see yourself working in large organisations, the public sector or starting your own business, you’ll develop the analytical, quantitative, computing, presentation and other transferable skills required by the business world.

• Course content

  Our degrees have a modular structure. This means that compulsory modules provide you with the core knowledge and skills that you need, while optional and discovery modules allow you to shape your course to suit your personal interests and career aspirations.

  Compulsory modules in your first year will cover the broad foundations of management. You’ll build knowledge of organisational behaviour, accounting, and economic theory to understand the contemporary business environment. You’ll also learn about the theory and practice of setting up a business and explore your own potential as a manager.

  In Year 2 you’ll study the fundamentals of marketing and how to manage people and operations effectively. You will develop your research and analytical skills and learn to understand the importance of research, information management and corporate social responsibility in business decision-making. You’ll continue to develop your personal leadership skills and see how to demonstrate these to potential employers.

  When you reach your final year, you’ll further develop your management skills with compulsory modules in strategic management and leadership. Through optional modules, you could explore topics such as employment law, advertising, international banking and finance and logistics.

  The course culminates with your dissertation, an independently researched project that you submit in your final year, allowing you to apply your research and analysis skills to a management topic of your choice.
