Management

A Management major provides the tools and concepts students need to understand how organisations work and the critical role of managers within them. This includes building knowledge in important areas such as developing and implementing strategy, driving organisational change and leading teams to achieve organisational objectives. Management is commonly understood as the process of planning, organising, leading and controlling the efforts of organisational members and deploying resources inside and outside the organisation to achieve set objectives. The Management major draws on subjects from a number of disciplines in the Business School to give students a well-rounded understanding of management thought and management practice. Students can also make an application to undertake work placement in management as a part of their studies.
