Management Studies BA

Our Management Studies BA offers you a programme of learning which will expose you to the realities of management and the managerial experience in both the public and private sectors. The course covers the relevance of both management theory and practice for the solution of problems in international, national and local contexts. It also explores situations in which management has failed and in which management failures have actually contributed to social, economic, political or environmental problems.

Organisations have an enormous impact on all of us, whether we are customers, employees or citizens. We are born in, educated in, work in, and die in organisations. These organisations are all managed to a greater or lesser degree.

At Leicester we approach management and organisation so far as it affects not only upon the lives of managers, but also the lives of more or less everyone. We are known for the 'Leicester Model' of management studies – an approach that challenges the status quo and seeks to give voice to those individuals, groups and societies who are traditionally overlooked in global management and organisational processes. With our distinctive approach to the study of management, you can be certain that we will provide you with a wealth of exciting learning experiences.

The first year of this degree is shared with the following degrees:

Human Resource Management BA
Marketing BA
This means that you will have the option to switch to any of our management BA degrees at the end of your first year.

Our courses will provide you with an in-depth understanding of contemporary management techniques, and will allow you to develop the skills to become an effective and socially responsible manager in local and global arenas, whether in public, private or third sector organisations and enterprises.
