Management Program

Welcome to the Academic Program of Management at the School of Business, University of Western Sydney.
Few roles are more integral to business success than management. Regardless of your seniority, when you're a manager, you're responsible and accountable for the performance of your team and its success. With modern unit choices and materials, industry-based projects and placements, a flexible course structure, and a balance of theory and practical field studies, you will have the best preparation to be career-ready when you enter the world of business with a UWS business degree in management.

A UWS degree in Management will give you a broad understanding of the concepts and practices of management combined with a sound knowledge of the functional areas of business. It will improve your decision-making skills, as well as strategic competencies required for management in different areas. It will equip you with critical analytical skills in areas such as cross-cultural management, organisational analysis and design for improved performance, knowledge management, power and politics.
