The MA (Hons) in Management is a four-year course run by the School of Management.
In the first two years, students will learn about organisations and how they operate in society as well as the core functions of managers within these organisations.
Alongside management, in the first year of their studies, they will be required to study an additional two subjects. In the second year, they will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two. Find out more about how academic years are organised.
From there, they will be able to explore a wide range of specialist subjects at a more advanced level in their third and fourth years. Specialist subjects may include (but are not limited to):
- advertising and marketing communications
- corporate social responsibility, accountability and reporting
- entrepreneurship and small business development
- human resource management
- international banking
- sustainable development and management.
During their studies, they will obtain knowledge of international trends and develop interpersonal and transferable skills, as well as an orientation towards creativity and innovation.
The University of St Andrews operates on a flexible modular degree system by which degrees are obtained through the accumulation of credits.
