Kathryn (Shrewsbury, Shropshire) MA(Hons) French-Management (WIYA) 2008 – Currently working as a financial analyst at KPMG Transaction Services, London, and training to become a chartered accountant.
a Joint Honours degree. Joint Honours degrees can be taken with a variety of other Arts and Science subjects and offer the opportunity for interplay between the two subjects.
The distinction between Management Science and Management is that the former includes advanced training in quantitative techniques (Operational Research) that are relevant to the analysis of managerial problems. The Management degree places more emphasis on behavioural, organisational and strategic issues.
The School of Management is located in the prestigious Gateway building at the North Haugh. The Gateway has state- of-the-art lecture and seminar facilities as well as an extensive private study area for students which can be found at the heart of its teaching accommodation.
Summary of Course Content – MA & BSc In all years, students attend seminars and workshops which provide instruction in the use of specific management techniques as well as developing interpersonal skills in problem solving. Honours students have the option of submitting a research project which may take the form of analysis of a practical aspect of business.
First Level (1st year) There are two compulsory modules in the first year of the Management degree: Organisations and Society that focuses on understanding the work environment, how people approach work and the theory of organisations and Organisations and Analysis that concentrates on developing skills of analysis. These modules, taken together, explain why we have organisations, how they operate in society and what information is required of them by those in the external environment.
Second Level (usually 2nd year) In the second year of the degree the focus moves to Management and Society and Management and Analysis. In these modules, the core functions of managers are explored including: marketing, organisational behaviour, economic theories of the firm and the analysis of financial data. The two years of study combine to provide a sound basis from which to focus in the Honours years on particular aspects of management practice.
The School of Management has recently introduced an innovative teaching module at Second level in Creativity & Enterprise. This module is available to all students across the University and aims at encouraging students to develop creativity and enterprise skills and to take a proactive role in managing their learning.
Honours (3rd and 4th years) At Honours level there are core modules in Organisation Studies and Dynamic Strategic Management as well as a variety of options. Modules available reflect the expertise of the staff in the Management School and include, for example:
“During my time at St Andrews I found the flexibility of its courses to be one of the main benefits. I thoroughly enjoyed studying a language alongside Management and feel that, in doing so, I got the best of two worlds. I even had the opportunity to work in a business in France during an Integrated Year Abroad – although I did miss St Andrews’ amazing scenery and the golf!”

Teaching Challenging courses are designed to equip students with skills of critical thinking and self-reliance. Presentation skills and group working provide vocational relevance for careers in commerce, finance, industry and public service.
Students’ progress is carefully monitored through a system of continuous assessment and tutorials. Tutorial groups are sufficiently small that tutors can give attention to particular needs and are structured around material that co-ordinates with lectures.
The overall grade for a module combines marks obtained on both coursework and examination, while some modules are assessed solely by coursework.
Careers While a degree in Management provides an excellent basis for a career in management, it can also be used as a springboard into a wide variety of other careers. In the past students from the School of Management have found employment in the fields of general management, marketing, accountancy and the financial services industry. These roles have been undertaken in a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sector including: KPMG, Accenture, Barclays, the National Health Service, J P Morgan, Deloitte, the Scottish Executive, and Warner Music. In some instances graduates find work abroad and each year some students will undertake further study at Master’s and Doctoral level in the United Kingdom and beyond. There is a dedicated Careers Centre within the University to help you select the future career option which is right for you. More information:
