The BA Business Analysis and Technology and Management at The University of StrathclydeÊwill help you understand theory and develop the skills to put it into practice. Management is sometimes defined as the achievement of results with, and through, others.

Whether the challenge is developing profitable new products or improving the health of our nation, the answer often comes down to management.

The Management Development Programme (MDP) is a core element of the undergraduate degree programme in the Strathclyde Business School.

The programme runs for the first three years of the BA degree. The entire class is driven by real business problems. The approach to learning is active problem-based, with students working in project teams.

The class aims to encourage integration of the knowledge and experience gained in Principal Subjects. Each year of the MDP focuses on different aspects of business and the content of MDP is constantly evolving and being updated and enhanced.
