Management
Key Information
Why study this course?

You’ll have opportunities to work with both theoretical and real life
business problems, developing the skills you need for a rewarding
career in management.
Taking a single honours course doesn’t mean a narrow focus. Management
at Keele covers the most fundamental aspects of business expertise and
understanding, but also engages with subjects such as finance, economics,
law, politics and psychology and explores the theory and practice of
organisational behaviour, accounting, marketing, and human resource
management. You’ll critically compare different markets, organisation
structures and strategies, and their interrelationships with employees.
You’ll learn about decision making behaviour across the private and
public sectors, and have opportunities to develop your own problem
solving skills.

for my future?

Keele’s Management programme
will help you develop the

human resource management,
consultancy, finance, insurance, IT,
marketing or accounting, but your
broad skill set will be eminently
transferable into other careers.
