The Minor in Management is suitable for students who wish to complement their primary area of study with systematic, practical, and industry-relevant management knowledge.
Organisations need professionals who can coordinate work, manage projects, oversee various business functions and harness emerging technologies while addressing the associated challenges. These capabilities are valued across industries and sectors, particularly as professionals take on broader roles and greater leadership responsibilities.
The Minor in Management introduces students to management theories and practices, covering project management, managing people and teamwork, entrepreneurship and business management, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. Students may also explore other topics, such as finance, analytics, and sustainability through elective courses. By developing deeper managerial perspectives and practical management skills, students prepare themselves to become future-ready and responsible business leaders.
