Home Digital Transformation in Business: How Technology is Reshaping the Market
The BSc (Hons) in Management is a four-year course run by the Department of Management in the University of St Andrews Business School.
In the first two years, you 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 your studies, you will be required to study an additional two subjects. In the second year, you will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two.
From there, you will be able to explore a wide range of specialist subjects at a more advanced level in your third and fourth years.
During your studies, you will receive advanced training in quantitative and qualitative techniques that are relevant to the analysis of managerial problems. Presentation skills, group working, and self-reliance provide vocational relevance and preparation for life beyond graduation. You will develop an understanding of core organisational issues as well as developing key transferable skills and graduate attributes.
You will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to critically assess and challenge established practices of management, promoting the use of creative and innovative approaches to managing complex organisational problems. An emphasis is placed on responsible enterprise, which will enable you to develop your social and environmental awareness, and will encourage you to be a self-reliant, critical and creative thinker.
Why study this course?
The BSc (Hons) in Management will introduce you to a variety of organisations in all sectors of the economy and will teach you to understand techniques which are subject-specific including marketing, organisational behaviour, and analysing financial data. From your studies, you will acquire interpersonal skills in problem-solving, critical thinking and self-reliance, and will be empowered to interrogate evidence, challenge logic, and question established ways of practising management.
You will learn from a team of international scholars whose teaching and research are centered on the concept of responsible enterprise, which entails an ethical approach to managing organisations and considers social and environmental impacts of organisations.
