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:
The university is pretty welcoming and helpful to international students. The placement year offered in the university for the 3rd year is something that I really like about my course. So far, there’s no any such thing that I don’t like about my university.
View moreBrighton is good, it’s nice and pretty but the music courses suck. Go to BIMM or somewhere else as Brighton won’t teach you actual music. The university would seriously benefit if they listened to what the students have to say but our voices don’t seem to be taken into consideration. Some positives include good group work, good placement offers, and great nightlife.
View moreThe course is a bit rubbish, a lot of students are disappointed with the lack of wanted content. However the nightlife and everything else about Brighton is great, however, the uni side of things could definitely be improved.
View moreI’m resitting the year and the uni has supported me non stop through it, which I can’t thank them enough for. However the course I study has a collective amount of disappointment from the students regarding the lack of wanted content on my course. It’s alright, it’s meh, it’s not bad, but it’s not good, if you’re actually passionate about music then you won’t be considering Brighton for a music course.
View moreI selected UOB for numerous reasons. Firstly, I loved Brighton and its accepting, open feel, but in terms of the university, and course, it offered amazing study abroad opportunities. Year 1 was a great introduction to the basics of business; I loved being thrown into learning- so much so, that I became an International Business ambassador for prospective students. As I progressed through the 4-year course, the options available to me became more specific, therefore allowing me to tailor my learning experience to my career interests and goals. In my third year, I got accepted into the only Australian study abroad space, sending me off to Adelaide, SA, to continue learning. This hugely pushed me out of my comfort zone, whilst teaching me different learning practices and broadening my horizons. Sadly, during my last year of studying, COVID-19 hit, and this impacted my view of my final year. Obviously, this was no fault of the university, and the support we were given was still substantial, with zoom calls to teachers and constant online support. Although finishing your degree in your Mum’s spare room/office really is slightly underwhelming, I feel like I obtained a well-rounded and unforgettable university experience along the way.
View moreMy studying at uni has been average. The learning is ok, seems to be confusing between lecturers often giving conflicting advice. And due to the large size of the course, often modules offered get too full and you get stuck with random choices.
View moreLove studying here and living in the city as it’s a unique and creative place to live. Furthermore, it also links well with the course that I study. My course itself is going great and I’m really enjoying it.
