Management Principles and Practices

Employers are increasingly seeking staff with strong leadership skills – and this module allows you to build on your critical thinking, problem solving and evaluation. By analysing a case study, you’ll learn how to apply current and emerging techniques to real-life scenarios.

There’s a strong focus on various areas of workplace management such as:

• common issues in contemporary management and organisation theory
• managing individuals, teams and groups
• the differences between managing and leading
• management and organisational processes

Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a digital certificate confirming you’ve achieved 20 academic credits at postgraduate level. You will also have the opportunity to progress on to a PG Cert Business Management (60 credits), PG Dip Business Management (120 credits) or the full MBM Master of Business Management (180 credits).

Please note, acceptance on to a postgraduate qualification is subject to meeting the entry requirements of your chosen programme.
