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:
Ulster University is teaching me more about practical life learning and skill. I am able to make new international friends here. The world class lecturers are teaching me new interesting topic and real life lessons and these are helpful for me in job market. The club facilities are also giving me the opportunities to develop my skills. I don’t prefer one thing and that is the campus size compared to current number of students. I prefer a little bit extension of the campus so that the University doesn’t become so crowded. To conclude, I want everyone to take the opportunities from Ulster University and become successful in their career.
View moreI am a student of Ulster University and I feel proud to say that. The reason is that I find some professionals in University who know how to fullfil the learning needs of every single students. Ulster University has big campus which is very beautiful. The club activities inside Ulster University are great and students have many opportunities to have from these clubs. The alumni network of Ulster University is also great. The bad thing about Ulster University is that the library facilities are needed to be updated as many students want to have most up-to-date research materials for research. Finally, students can study ulster University and this is my recommendation. Thank you.
View moreIt has been a great journey for me. I am in my last semester. I have learnt a lot from my teachers and from the course too. It has amazing modules, it will teach you great tactics about markleting, digital technologies to grow your business. The teachers and staff are very friendly and supportive.
One thing I didnt like about the uni is, if you need a break, they will not give you. Iwanted a break and visit somewhere, after requesting everyone , they did not allow me to go. I was a regular student and I just needed a break, even though my new semester was not being started yet.
Overall , I would give it 4 stars.
View moreThis university is just wonderful. They put together an excellent team and the most realistic, student-centred education I’ve ever experienced. The professors are all exceptional educators who are very talented, inspirational, and gifted. I couldn’t have asked for a finer group of professors. The campus is well-equipped, including coffee shops and a restaurant. My experience at Ulster University was enjoyable. The contemporary campus has its own distinct look and offers a fantastic experience.
View moreThis university is well-run and has excellent physical facilities, but it is severely missing a university on-campus counsellor, especially given the high prevalence of mental health disorders in the fine arts department and across the board. The university is making an attempt with its mind your mood programme for mental health, but offering six free counselling sessions with an off-campus institution is simply not enough. It makes it more difficult for students, especially those who are new to the city, to call out for help when they need it. For want of a better description, I find the general atmosphere at the university to be extremely “non-community.” Students prefer to isolate themselves and there is a lack of a social climate, all of which are potential contributing factors.
View moreI studied in the Coleraine campus and it was perfect. The facilities in this campus are outstanding, all the rooms are new and totally equipped so that makes e
it easier to learn there.
Also the professors are very friendly and are always available to help you, even more if you are a foreigner, so that’s perfect for all the people who are used to study in english and maybe is more difficult to get everything in every lesson.
The university structure based on modules is also nice, because it makes it easier to organize yourself and to decide which ones to choose and the times. The quality of them for me was pretty good, so I could learn a lot during my time there.
The university also has a lot of sports possibilities which you can choose during the year with a low fare. The gym is also new and a lot of students normally go there.
Other facts that make your experience there pretty nice is an agreement between the university and one association called “international friends”. The members of this association are local families who want to show you the local culture, so they take you to different places to visit, having lunchs with them or preparing different activities such a local dancing performances there.
For me Ulster University is a very nice university to study abroad so you can learn a lot and grow personal and professionally.
I found Ulster to be a great university, I completed a foundation degree through it. And I loved every minute. The tutors are very supportive and the course itself was interesting. I would recommend anyone to apply.
View moreReally good student life with close community. Some professors are absolutely amazing and others I’m a bit concerned as to how they got into the profession. Kelly’s Wednesdays should never be missed!
View moreI liked that all of the facilities were located on one campus – all within walking distance from each other however, transport to and from the campus was sparse. In the end I had to buy a car to commute to the campus.
