Overview Our MA in Management seeks to develop well-rounded, thoughtful and reflective professionals with excellent skills that will enhance their career prospects. The programme draws on Keele’s rich history in adopting a critical perspective towards contemporary attitudes to management, engaging with debates regarding the future of capitalism and the often problematic relationship between globalisation, organisation and the wider social environment. You will be challenged to engage with tutors in such debates and consider your own future role in shaping business and society. You are encouraged to apply for opportunities to enhance your experience through competitively allocated student consultancy projects where students learn on the job. The Creativity and Personal Development module also promotes applied thinking and engagement with real businesses. The school is keen to offer a range of opportunities in any given year, but availability cannot be guaranteed.
