Management and Management Systems (Foundation Degree)
Overview
This Foundation Degree is a distinctive award with a strong vocational element, concentrating on the internal and external influences that affect the business and management environment.
The programme examines the role of information systems in the business environment, but places them in the organisational context. This allows the exploration of the interface between information technology and the key environmental factors, political, economic, and social, that constrain an organisation's activities. As a result, whilst technical aspects of management systems are emphasised, with modules offered in computer forensics, computer programming, multi-media planning, and management information systems, the core functions of business are also dealt with including business and management, numbers in business, accounting, and human resource management.
The course focuses on links with employers and work placements are an integral part of both Year 1 and Year 2.
