Bachelor of Science (Honours) Management
Awarded by The University of London
(Full-time / Part-time)

“There are lots of new developments in our field. We need to be prepared to cope with the effect of these new developments on our company. “

“My boss finds it hard to accept ideas. I need to convince him that this can be good for the firm.”

Comments like these are heard all the time in the business world. In a competitive environment, being able to cope with change is crucial. A good leader needs to lead the company through changes. To top it all, he needs to have the management skills to motivate his staff.

This degree in management gives you the opportunity to study the activity of management, and the environment in which the manager operates, in an intellectually rigorous fashion. The degree has a strong emphasis on social science theory and practice. It provides an opportunity for critical and theoretical study, particularly in economics. You will receive an intellectually demanding, broad preparation for management that draws on a wide range of social science disciplines.
