Management is both science and art. This subject can be taught but it is also self-taught. The BA in Business Studies (Management) has been planned to familiarise the students with this philosophy. The central belief is that management is at the heart of all activities in business. In a sense it is identical to business. That is why the course covers the most important areas of today’s business’s world including:
• Management theory and practice, starting from introductory theories of basic organization and decision making through to the most modern and complex methods of operational change and innovative forms of business, such as “virtual business”.
• Computer science has a decisive effect on the management of contemporary businesses, and is taught at all levels as applied informatics.
• No business can function without accounting and financial management. Within this framework, the programme teaches the importance of evaluating accounting tables and documents for the preparation of a business to ensure its survival and triumph in the future, achieving real and controlled profits.
• Also of great importance is the human factor, without which no actual operation can be conducted.
• The programme also includes marketing, which aims at real communication with the environment both inside and outside the corporation. Marketing and Management are of equal importance in achieving corporation goals.
• The programme is completed with some complementary subjects such as the European business environment, business strategy, entrepreneurship and small businesses and banking.

Practicum – A real-life project for final year students
The Practicum is part of the programme of studies of all the Bachelors programmes of the Business Administration & Economics Department. Final year students have the opportunity to work on real-life projects in companies or organisations, practise their skills and knowledge, and better understand the links between business theory and practice in authentic settings.

The broad scope and practical focus of the BA (Hons) in Business Studies (Management) programme qualifies graduates to enter a wide range of careers in business. Many graduates go on to study for postgraduate degrees and professional qualifications.

Graduates are awarded the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Business Studies (Management).

The degree is awarded by University of York (UK).
