About undergraduate degree programmes
Management Studies
A manager’s basic role is to formulate policies and direct business operations. Towards this end,
they plan, organise, direct, control, and coordinate the operations of an organisation and its
major departments or programmes, and can be found in a variety of industries and work settings.
In large organisations, top managers usually have responsibility for one particular department or
function, such as accounting, or sales, whereas managers of small companies generally perform
a much wider range of tasks, often supervising everything from marketing to human resources. A
management degree can help prepare graduates for a diversity of exciting careers within private
and public corporations, non-profit institutions, and government agencies
UWI’s Department of Management Studies offers a number of management disciplines such as
accounting, finance, human resource management, management information systems, management
studies, marketing, international relations and sports management. From this selection, students
can mix and match majors and minors to create their own unique degree combination to
suit their career interests.
