BA Management Studies with Politics
UCAS code: N2L2
The degree has been especially designed for students who wish to study Management with Politics.
In a world of global conflict and trade the links between management studies and politics are evident. To be truly effective, managers must be able to understand the context in which they are operating and the effects of domestic and international factors on the business environment. Management cannot function in isolation from politics, as issues such as Fair Trade, ethics and sustainability make clear. Questions of leadership, power and influence are relevant to management studies and politics alike. The BA Management Studies with Politics is an exciting programme which draws the two subjects together to allow students to consider these issues from a range of perspectives.
