Overview

Who is it for?

Society needs future leaders who care. From charities and social enterprises, to multinational corporations, government departments and start up businesses. They all need leaders who pay attention to socio-economic and environmental issues. If you want to be a Change Maker, this course is for you.

Graduates of the Business Management with Social Purpose pathway will have the skills, experience and knowledge necessary to lead and manage projects, movements and organisations in the public, private or non-profit sectors.

Our expertise in business management and charities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), corporate social responsibility, volunteering and social enterprise gives our graduates the knowledge, skills and necessary experience that is attractive to employers.

You’ll also benefit from our outstanding connections with industry professionals and employers. Many of our academics themselves are practitioners, therefore giving you multiple opportunities to meet and network with leaders from the charities sector and the business world.

Objectives

By learning the fundamentals of business management and having an in-depth understanding of local and global socio-economic issues, you’ll be part of the next generation of change makers and leaders.

You’ll learn about strategy, human resources, operational management, finance and accounting, marketing, corporate reputation management, social entrepreneurship and enterprise, corporate social responsibility and investment, non-profit management and the management of culture, values and business ethics.

You’ll also apply the principles you learn to real-world scenarios. In your third year, for example, your final project involves working with major firms and enterprises to assess their engagement with social enterprise and corporate social responsibility. You also have a number of electives to choose from like our Mentoring & Coaching for Leadership module.
