BSc Management

Develop your management skills for a dynamic career in banking, finance, management consulting, technology or professional services.

Overview

Introduction

On this BSc Management, you’ll explore how organisations work and look at management practice in the context of economics, statistics, maths and accounting.

This programme has a strong quantitative focus and theoretical approach. But, at every stage, you’ll be applying this knowledge to real-world scenarios and developing your critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical abilities, and business acumen.

Right from the start, you’ll develop job-focused skills, such as learning how to work in a team, conduct quantitative analysis, write clearly and deliver effective presentations. We also help you develop your strategic awareness and broad perspectives on the discipline through our organisational strategy course and regular events.

During your studies, you can apply to spend a year studying abroad at one of our global partners in the US, Italy, Switzerland, France or Hong Kong, developing your skills in an international setting.

The degree opens the doors to a variety of rewarding careers in areas such as investment banking, management consulting, tech and accounting. Our graduates go on to work in many prestigious firms such as Deloitte, KPMG and Microsoft.
