Programmes
All our courses have explicit aims: to encourage critical thinking and a strong multidisciplinary approach to Management.
Undergraduate: MA and BSc
Our four-year Honours degree programme allows students to pursue a Master of Arts (MA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc) qualification in Management either as a single degree or a joint degree with other Arts/Science subjects. Modules taken in the first and second years of study provide a broad basis for subsequent specialisation and the flexible degree structure facilitates choice.
Undergraduate: Exchanges, Year Abroad, Semester Abroad
The Third Year (Junior Honours) of a University of St Andrews Management degree may be spent abroad as part of the University's exchange programmes.
The School of Management welcomes Junior Year Abroad and Semester Abroad students.
Masters: Taught Postgraduate
Masters programmes are available in a wide range of subject areas to students who have completed their first degree and wish to develop their undergraduate field of study or pursue new challenges. Courses combine face to face teaching, personal research, regular classwork and a final dissertation.
Research Degrees
The School is research intensive and underpinned by a strong grounding in the social sciences. We are very highly ranked for the quality of both our teaching and our research. They are closely linked, and students are the first to benefit from our research findings.
The degrees of Master of Research (MRes), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are available within the School.
The MRes is a research-oriented degree studied over one year, which can be taken as a stand alone programme or as research training for doctoral research. This programme has a significant taught element in the first two semesters and requires students to undertake a dissertation of 15,000 words. The MPhil is studied over two years. Normally MPhil theses should be composed of specialised research of no more than 40,000 words, excluding the bibliography and appendices. The PhD is studied over three years and the thesis is normally composed of specialised research of no more than 80,000 words, excluding the bibliography and appendices.
