Management
Key Information
Overview

Our MA in Management seeks to develop well-rounded, thoughtful
and reflective professionals with excellent skills that will enhance
their career prospects. The programme draws on Keele’s rich
history in adopting a critical perspective towards contemporary
attitudes to management, engaging with debates regarding the
future of capitalism and the often problematic relationship between
globalisation, organisation and the wider social environment.
You will be challenged to engage with tutors in such debates
and consider your own future role in shaping business and society.
You are encouraged to apply for opportunities to enhance your
experience through competitively allocated student consultancy
projects where students learn on the job. The Creativity and
Personal Development module also promotes applied thinking and
engagement with real businesses. Keele Management School is keen
to offer a range of opportunities in any given year, but availability
cannot be guaranteed.

MA Management

The structure and delivery of the
course was ideal for me as I wanted
a degree which not only gave me
the academic perspective, but also
the essential skills required for the
daunting job market. The tutors
and staff in Keele Management
School are so co-operative that,
as an international student,
I settled in without any problem.
