The Management programme at Birkbeck, University of London examines the essentials of management theory and practice and the core principles and practice of business and organisations in a local and international context. Students will gain a broad knowledge and expertise in the design and implementation of strategy at different levels of the corporate organisation and of other types of organisation such as public, not-for-profit and cooperative.
A range of option modules in management as well as specific functional areas allow students to tailor studies to their own personal or career requirements. Students will then use their critical analysis and independent judgement skills to write a dissertation setting out solutions to complex managerial problems in all types of organisation.
The programme also allows students to develop personal and generic skills that are transferable to a wide range of research, teaching and work situations, including the skills of self-discipline, reflection, analysis, communication, leadership and lifelong learning.
An MSc Management differs from the typical MBA in that it covers fewer subjects but in more depth. Students will learn more than just the current management fashions and buzzwords: Students will also learn about the evidence upon which management theories are based.
