Undergraduate

BSc Management

Is this programme for me?

This degree is for you if you:

  • wish to study the activity of management and the environment in which the manager operates

  • aim to pursue further training in management and corporate disciplines.

Programme aims

To provide an opportunity for critical and theoretical study, particularly in economics. You will receive an intellectually demanding, broad preparation for management that draws on a wide range of social science disciplines.

Programme structure

The degree consists of 12 units when taken through the Standard Route and 9 units through the Graduate Entry Route.

Prestige and career progression

The programme has been developed by academics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), regarded as an international centre of academic excellence and innovation in the social sciences. This degree will prepare you for a career in areas of management consultancy, banking, accountancy or general management.

Flexible study at a reasonable cost

You have between 3-8 years to complete the programme (or a minimum of 2 years on the Graduate Entry Route). The total fee payable to the University is £3,384 for the Standard Route. The Graduate Entry Route costs £2,558. Please note that these figures do not reflect any annual fee increase and assume completion in the minimum study period permitted.

Study materials

The study materials that we send you include:

  • Strategies for success – an academic advice and study skills handbook containing information about study techniques, planning your studies, making the best use of resources and preparing for examinations.

  • Student handbook.

  • Subject guides (offering advice on how to use textbooks).

  • Past exam papers and Examiners' reports - these resources are updated annually and are available to download.

  • Regulations.

You need to provide your own textbooks - they provide the main focus of your studies - so before you register for the programme the University will advise you to consider the facilities available to you locally, and how accessible books are likely to be.

Study support and online resources

You can either study independently at a pace that suits you, or enrol for additional classes at a local institution (either full time or part time) and benefit from the more formalized support this provides.

  • LSE arranges a Study weekend in February each year. This consists of short courses designed to help you with examination preparation and technique. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your studies with subject specialists.

  • LSE also runs a Summer School each year, usually from July to mid-August, to which all students are welcome.

  • Online resources including news items, Examiners' reports and past exam papers, student handbooks, Regulations and reading lists.

  • Online Library giving access to Justis.com, JSTOR, ABI/INFORM, Academic Search Premier and Business Source Premier.

If you do not have traditional 'A' levels or their equivalent, the Access route has been designed to provide you with an entry route to the degrees in the fields of Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences. The Diploma in Economics, a qualification in its own right, similarly provides an entry route to these degrees (please note that for the Diploma in Economics attendance at an institution that has been given 'permission to teach' by the LSE is compulsory).

This provides an opportunity for graduates of any discipline to gain an additional undergraduate degree by following a shorter than normal programme, successfully completing nine full units rather than twelve. This can normally be achieved in a minimum of two years with the exception of the BSc Economics, BSc Economics & Finance, BSc Development & Economics and the BSc Information Systems & Management.
