Management
BA (Hons)
Why study this course?
A single honours Management degree will give you breadth and depth of
understanding of business and management practice. You will understand
the context and theory of organising as well as developing high-level
understanding of people, processes and operations in topics such as strategy,
quality and change management.
We have developed this programme from our commitment to the
responsibilities of business and their managers to wider social
improvement. While there are opportunities for creative, entrepreneurial
thinking, the content promotes reflection on a broad range of issues,
including the promotion of gender equality, developing socially
responsible practice and respect for difference and diversity.
You will learn about management, organisations and their operations.
Optional modules in accounting, human resource management,
marketing and international business enable you to tailor the degree
to your interests and career aspirations. There are a number of
opportunities to practice the skills you have learnt through live company
projects, practical sessions or by taking a placement year.
What will this mean for my future?
You will develop the knowledge, skills, self confidence and self-
awareness you need to pursue your career goals. You might choose
to take up a directly related career, such as in business management,
human resource management, consultancy, finance, insurance, IT,
marketing or accounting. Alternatively, your broad skill set will be
eminently transferable into other careers. You could also go on to study
for a postgraduate qualification in a related business management
subject or in another aspect of social science.
