Summary

The intensive advanced study introduces students of this interdisciplinary programme to core concepts, techniques and debates in management. You take a total of 11 core courses and electives. The programme is aimed at students who have just finished their degree (in any discipline except business or management-related majors), who have achieved the equivalent of a first-class, and who have less than one year of professional experience at the start of the programme.

Educational aims:

• to give students with a strong performance in other disciplines at the first-degree level an understanding of the academic discipline of management; and

• to give students the opportunity to acquire and develop skills and expertise relevant to high-level management practice.

This is achieved by:

• providing students with the guidance necessary to acquire a deep understanding of the theory and practice of management;

• analysing, in lectures, discussions and written work, the key techniques, conceptual issues and debates in the academic management literatures and in the - practice of management;

• supporting students in the development of an understanding and a critical perspective of management;

• providing teaching in a range of technical/specialist subjects central to the study of the different branches of management; and

• examining students formally on their knowledge of the theory and practice of management.
