Management

About this course

Management is the discipline concerned with how organisations are led, how resources are directed, and how goals are achieved through the coordination of people, processes, and information. It is one of the most broadly applicable disciplines in the university curriculum, drawing on economics, psychology, sociology, and quantitative methods to build a rigorous understanding of how organisations function and how they can be improved. Graduates who understand management as a serious intellectual field, not just a set of practical techniques, are consistently among the most effective in professional life. At St Andrews this four-year full-time MA programme introduces you to a variety of organisations across all sectors and teaches you the subject-specific techniques of management, including marketing, organisational behaviour, and the analysis of financial data.
