Management comprises planning, organising, leading or directing, and controlling an organisation or effort for the purpose of achieving a goal. The best business managers enable effective organisational decision making and are equally talented at managing business matters as they are at managing people.

This major focuses on the crucial role of modern, connected and versatile managers, and will prepare you for a career in management in local and international settings. You’ll learn key management, leadership and organisational concepts and principles, and apply them to a range of business contexts. Developing strong critical thinking, you’ll evaluate issues relating to business ethics and sustainability in addressing business challenges. Building knowledge and skills in critical, strategic and integrated thinking, you’ll also develop higher-level skills to help you excel in areas such as leading people, communicating clearly and effectively, working collaboratively, adapting to change, innovating and managing diversity.
