Management
Studies in management are essential for those planning on achieving a leadership role in any type of organisation. By studying management subjects students will be well equipped to deliver the leadership, analysis, planning and decision-making needed for a successful business career.
Management and marketing studies are an ideal starting point for students seeking careers in the fields of human resource management, international management, marketing, operations management and organisational development. They are also a valuable complement to studies in another area, such as accounting or finance. Learn more about the Department of Management and Marketing.
