So what is a career in management? It’s about working with organisations Survival of an organisation depends on business management knowledge There will always be a need for people with business management training and the need for first line and middle managers continues. Your effectiveness in any organisation – will depend on how adept you are at understanding the organisation you work in, and getting things done through it. You will need good models of organising practices and processes, leadership, strategy, culture, managing change and innovation, understanding structure and politics to, corporate social responsibility – all within an international business environment – public and private sector… in financial, service and knowledge economies…. Organisations are among the most fascinating phenomena you can study. Why do they even exist? Why do they arrange the activity that goes on within and around them in the way they do?

If you can understand organisations better you can be a high performing business man or woman…. Whether this is in the public or private sector, in SMES or large or MNCs….whether you become your own boss, self-employed, an entrepreneur, working for a large MNC, a professional service firm such as a management consultancy …..

What do our Management Graduates say.......? “Throughout the teaching and assessment of the course, a strong emphasis is placed on the fact that no textbook or theory is perfect and to gain a deeper understanding of the issue - background research or alternative views must be sought. Thanks to this method, I would now consider myself a more mature thinker who is capable of producing work that is highly analytical and contains interesting insights. Compared to other subjects that are happy to have learning outcomes memorised and relayed at exam time, management is keen to extract independent thought and encourages your personal opinions and suggestions”. Honours Year Undergraduate – 4th Year (Single Honours in Management) This quote encapsulates what our graduates find to be distinctively advantageous about Mgt and recognise how employers prize these cognitive skills in new recruits
