BSc Hons Management

Our Management course is designed to arm you with the skills you’ll need to become an effective manager in today’s rapidly-evolving business environment. Your first year of study will provide you with a broad grounding in business and management, covering topics such as the history of management, decision-making and business innovation.
 

In semesters 3-7, compulsory core modules provide theory and applications of management. You’ll study leadership, business ethics, project management and more. You’ll also have the chance to take elective modules in accounting and finance for managers. In your final year, you’ll write a dissertation based on a business or service, in which you’re encouraged to investigate a particular problem and broaden your skills in research and problem solving.
