What you’ll study
The curriculum builds your understanding of organisations and the context in which they operate, and helps you explore where you might fit within them. Classes fall within four focal areas:
- Understanding the business – through a sequence of classes you'll gain a managerial overview of the major functional areas of most organisations. You'll explore what they do and learn the language and techniques they employ.
- Developing the business – building on your growing understanding of organisations, this group of classes explores how businesses are responding to their contexts and analyse how they might evolve in the future.
- Professional development – in this area you will identify and develop a plan to enhance the key strengths and skills that will mark you out in your management career.
- Building a careers focus – as you move towards the next stage of your career, the elective classes and the final project/dissertation provide a wide range of options that allow you to customise your learning towards your career direction or development needs.
Learning & teaching
Classes on the course differ significantly from traditional formal lectures. Academic staff maximise opportunities for class discussion and debate about how organisations are tackling real-life business issues and whether their approaches are appropriate in other contexts. You'll often be given individual or group-based research tasks to be fed back in class. This emphasis upon practical skills gives you a greater understanding of what is happening in a wide range of organisational contexts. It also helps you to be able to formulate relevant, practical, responses to the complex issues.
Our teaching helps you develop the high level of personal and interpersonal skills that employers are looking for. You'll find that, from your very first day, we'll be there helping you to find effective ways to manage yourself while getting the best from those you're working with.
Careers
The degree opens up a range of exciting career possibilities. For many of our graduates, it's the combination of their first degree, or work experience, and the MBM that distinguishes them from the competition. Many have taken up an opportunity within their family’s business, developing the business to take advantage of the opportunities presented by today’s environment. Others are pursuing their dream of becoming an entrepreneur and building their own successful business.
