Management is about taking a leading role supervising and mentoring staff, balancing budgets, and ensuring tasks and projects are completed successfully. It means taking responsibility and getting things done through making the most of your staff and other resources.
This major focuses on the crucial role of modern, connected and versatile managers and can prepare you for a management career in local and international settings. It draws your attention to the diverse nature and challenges facing practising managers today, such as the relationships between people and organisations, performance and success, change and culture, and innovation and technology.
You will get a strong foundation in management skills in areas such as communicating with people, problem solving, planning, organising, managing change and managing a budget.
