What can I do with a degree in…..
Management
Studying Management at Warwick will appeal to you if you are considering a career in any area of
management or business, or planning to develop your own business. You will gain management knowledge,
and develop skills to apply your knowledge to the analysis and solution of management problems. On
graduation, you will be ready to make an immediate contribution to a management role.
On this course, you have the opportunity in your 3rd year to participate in the Undergraduate Partnership
Programme (UPP) run collaboratively with Cardiff and Manchester Business Schools and developed by The
Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). Through this programme you can apply
for a work placement in an accounting role, which can count as the first year of a training contract. The
experience will give you the opportunity to commence the ACA, the premier professional accountancy
qualification, while studying for a high-quality degree. There is also the option of pursuing a work placement
in an alternative sector and function in your 3rd year
Most of our graduates begin their careers in large, global, commercial firms. About a third embark on
financial careers with a significant number entering marketing, human resources, or supply chain
management. Employment is spread across a wide range of sectors including finance, leisure, retail, and the
public sector.
Your management degree will help you to build commercial awareness and develop skills such as problem
solving, critical thinking and decision making. The degree will also help you to develop a variety of highly
transferable skills valued by employers such as organisational and planning skills, report writing, working to
deadlines, team work and presentation skills.
