A Management degree builds a strong foundation in a wide variety of fields including business, finance, economics and marketing. It develops students’ understanding of business practices, structures, business theory, business strategy and research as well as global economies and financial markets. Doing a Management Degree also allows students to gain skills that enable them to work with financial and numerical data effectively.
Management degrees cover different managerial roles, such as Human Resource (HR) management, hospitality management, innovation management, operations management, etc. They can be specialized into one of the areas mentioned above or follow a more general approach that covers most of these areas.
The range of management degrees is huge and includes Business Management, Management, Marketing Management, etc. They are predominantly offered in the business departments/business schools/management schools of different universities.
One of the main benefits of this degree is that Management is a broad discipline, which keeps students’ career options open.
Management degrees could have a very practical focus, which is an opportunity for students to gain experience in the process of completing their degree before having started their professional careers. Management courses usually offer work placements and practical modules, which include business simulations and business creation in a simulated environment. Acquiring practical experience through these opportunities could make students stand out from the crowd in the job market once they graduate. Research-oriented Management degrees also exist for those who prefer the theoretical aspects of such a degree. Most courses, however, have established a good balance between theory and practice in order to meet the needs of all students.
Management degrees also prepare students to serve the managerial role across a wide range of areas, including HR management, hospitality management, innovation management, operations management, etc. Students can specialize in one particular area or focus on gaining knowledge across all of these areas thanks to the high availability of different management courses.
Additionally, there is a high demand for management professionals in the contemporary business world. Therefore, taking a management course is an opportunity for students to kick-start their careers and occupy a higher position in the organizational hierarchy.
Management courses usually begin by introducing students to different areas covered by the managerial role, such as organizational management, business environment, statistics, accounting and finance, business growth, etc. After the first year, institutions allow students to explore the management discipline into more depth by delivering specialized modules and offering optional modules, which enable students to choose subjects that interest them the most and are most relevant to their career aspirations.
Management degrees take 3 years to complete in the UK. However, their duration could extend to 4 years if students choose to spend a year in industry between their second and third year, which is a popular option among the student community. Setting placement opportunities apart, the duration of a Management degree depends on three main factors – country, mode of study (part-time or full-time) and degree level. Below are listed the approximate durations of Management degrees in the most popular countries for Higher Education in Europe:
Great campus and classes. The management’s communication and ffort to incorporate international students is truly exemplary. Programmes and course material could be more substantial and practical though
View moreHello, I am a student of current university, and I have to report that many professors and the customer service don’t answer to mails and in addition the is an awful organization of evey aspect of university life such as schedules and matierials of lessons.
I cannot say my experience was good.
Advantages: last 6 months of the university are dedicated to the internship that in my case concluded with a hiring. So you have the power of a Master’s degree with a three years bachelor’s.
Material to study is halved with respect to other (public) universities. This is not a disadvantage because the important topics are still touched so we are not less prepared than other students. And we are not less free: there are a lot of projects to be carried out during the courses.
Another advantage is, as a matter of fact, that we are used to speaking in public, in front of other students, or also during events.
The environment is unique and you can truly experience the campus life: from sports fields to parties, bistros, the majestic library, plenty of study rooms, and dormitories. Here, living far away from home, I have found my family.
It has been a 3 years experience full of special people and adventures.
Disadvantages: Professors are good, but they are all Italian and just a few of them have mastered the English language. So if you wish to improve your communication skills, forget about it (unless you don’t find that unique international student that doesn’t speak Italian). I have improved my writing skills at least.
For what concerns the internationalization and heterogeneity of the campus, the majority of people are from Veneto, just a few (10 maximum) from other parts of Italy. Because they are a minority, the services related to people coming from far away and without a car are practically 0.
Reaching the campus is impossible, means of transport rare and complicated and the H-FARM support in this is practically nothing. Especially when you have to reach the campus during exams.
Oh, last thing: go away if you cannot afford it.
Would I do it again? Absolutely yes.
View moreI am attending the third year at H-farm. I am finally at the end of my journey and I can say that it was interesting and I met a lot of new people.
We studied subjects related to economics, finance, marketing, and law and there was a part on coding.
My overall opinion about it is positive and I surely recommend it to you!
View moreI love my programme, the professors are great and very helpful. Ca’foscari has the best economics programme in Italy, so I would highly recommend applying. The TAs are also really great, they will explain anything you didn’t understand in your lectures and of course you could always schedule office hours with the professor which I’ve always found helpful
