Management (People Management)

People are at the heart of any functional business. Successful organisations understand the value in forward-thinking and innovative managers who know how people work and the role that they play in helping any business to thrive.

Our Management (People Management) course equips students with the skills to make them a confident business leader. You will develop skills in areas of core business functions - from hiring staff to managing inventories and everything in between. You will become an excellent communicator with the confidence to build relationships and initiate change in any organisation.

Your career is kick-started further by being eligible to gain the Chartered Management Institute's (CMI) Level 5 Professional Certificate in Management and Leadership at the end of your course.

You'll develop a deep understanding of management and related functions, such as ethics and sustainability, marketing, financial management, entrepreneurship, and project management alongside compulsory modules that will help you prepare to become a strong leader in your future career.

As you progress through the course, you'll focus more on areas relevant to human resource management such as Diversity in Organisations and People Analytics, depending on which of the optional modules you choose.
