On completion of a major sequence of study in management, students should have acquired intellectual skills to assist them in understanding the role of people in organisations, in understanding the structure of organisations and in managing the process of change. They should also have obtained functional skills in management disciplines and be able to select appropriate actions for existing and anticipated tasks in their future professions. As well as having a broad conceptual view of management, they should have obtained specialised knowledge, recognising that managers are required to have competencies in specialist and generalist areas. Students should have acquired modes of thinking and skills which provide the basis for a range of occupations, a capacity for independent thinking, and a basis for further learning and research. In terms of the personal development of students, the objective is to foster the development of a wide range of skills and strategies to enable graduates to achieve successful outcomes for themselves as individuals in society and in their chosen careers. They should have the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the professional workforce in both the private or public sector.
The Department of Business Management offers two first-year, six second-year and eleven third-year subjects to undergraduate students and a fourth-year honours program.
