Programme

First Year

The first year lays down the foundations and prepares you for the analytical and theoretical arguments that are developed throughout the degree. You will be introduced to some of the core subject areas of management. In addition to an overview provided by the Foundations of Management module, you will engage with the issues of other specialist areas such as Accountancy, and Economics. Through this year you will have the opportunity to develop your writing skills, qualitative and quantitative data analysis skills, and IT skills.

Second Year

In the second year, you will develop your knowledge of further specialist areas and continue to engage with the debates introduced in the first year. The integrative approach of considering the ethical, cultural, historical and inter-disciplinary aspects of management will be facilitated through modules such as Managing Organisations. You will also have the opportunity to select a number of options, which typically include modules such as Organisational Change and Development, Buyer Behaviour, Marketing Communications, and International Finance.

Third Year

In your final year you have the opportunity to pull together what you have learnt in your degree so far, through a dissertation; this is a substantive piece of research that you may choose to undertake in an area of your choice and interest. Your dissertation work will be supported by a course on Research Methods undertaken in the second year. In addition, you will undertake core modules in Corporate Strategy, International Business and Critical Analysis for Management that seek to develop and integrate your knowledge. Further integrative modules will be provided for you to choose from. In previous years options have included, for example, Business Ethics, Knowledge Management, Retail Marketing and Supply Chain Management, International Marketing and Corporate Finance.
