The MA Business Management and Politics at the University of Aberdeen offers you a distinctive pathway to understand the intricate relationship between economic strategy and governmental influence. This programme is ideal if you are keen to explore how political systems, policy decisions, and societal structures shape the business world, and conversely, how corporate power impacts governance and public life. You will delve into core concepts of management, organisational behaviour, and economic principles, alongside critical analyses of democracy, power, and international relations, preparing you for complex, interdisciplinary challenges.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree, studied over four years, provides a comprehensive curriculum blending compulsory courses in areas like Marketing, Business Strategy, and Research Methods with specialised Politics modules such as Global Politics and Contemporary French Politics. You will develop essential analytical and research skills, culminating in a final-year dissertation where you can independently investigate a topic at the intersection of business and politics. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for diverse career opportunities in public policy, international organisations, corporate strategy, and consultancy.
