Course Description

Managers today require a broad range of skills and capabilities, and the ability to operate effectively in a rapidly changing and increasingly global business environment.

This course is designed to specifically develop the knowledge and skills essential for a career in management and includes a year long work placement which offers the opportunity to gain personal experience in the work place to enhance your career prospects.

In the first two years, the course offers a foundation in the disciplines of business, as well as exploring the functional areas of finance, human resource management and marketing.

It also introduces you to management theory, organisational issues and the importance of cultural awareness in today's business world. It further develops the interpersonal and business skills necessary for a management career.

The course includes a compulsory 12-month work placement between the second and final years. This gives you the essential work experience which will underpin your academic studies in the final year and heighten your business awareness and employability.

We have well established links with industry and regularly have placement opportunities with blue chip companies, mostly in London and south-east England, but also further afield and in other countries. The work placement may be combined with one semester of study abroad at a partner university.

The final year offers a significant managerial focus, where you develop your critical understanding of management theories, organisational behaviour, and strategic management.

There is an emphasis on the use of case studies and business simulations, many of which will be of an international nature.
