Management BA (part-time)

Programme information

The Management degree programme follows a number of guiding principles, which mirror the values of managers of leading organisations and reflect current management thinking. In the first two years on all Management degrees you follow a common programme which provides a strong grounding in the principles of modern business management and also introduces more functional areas of management including Marketing, Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organisational Behaviour.

Our students are not here just to learn facts and figures. Senior managers everywhere stress that personal skills are as important as education and intellect. Our aim is to help you become the manager of the future and students are encouraged to develop practical management and problem solving skills through the team development courses and other group projects. We believe that the real basis for management is experience. We will expose you to theories of management, case studies of companies, and give you the opportunity to work on specific management problems.

For the Heriot-Watt programme in Management, students then choose from a broad range of subjects during their third and fourth year, allowing them to tailor their degree to meet their career needs and aspirations.
