"Studying management at Royal Holloway is an interesting and diverse experience which has allowed me to specialise in an area of business that I find interesting. I have always wanted to go into marketing and so I chose this as my specialism. My degree has opened up many opportunities for me, as I was fortunate enough to gain an internship, at Barclays Capital over the summer, which led to a permanent graduate position in their Global Marketing Department. Management has given me the skills and commercial awareness that I need to fulfil my career aspirations. The subjects I have studied are relevant and comprehensive, and the academics teach theory with relevance to the current economic and social climate. This has helped to equip me to enter the modern workplace."
Isabel Cooke
3rd year student, Management with Marketing
"Having worked for nearly three years before coming to Royal Holloway, I wanted to do a course that not only gave me the freedom to tailor it to my preferences but also one that combined theory with practice. The School of Management has been able to exceed all of my expectations. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful and should you have any problems, someone is at hand to assist you. The prestige and reputation of Royal Holloway means that when I graduate I will have gained a degree that is well-recognised and have made friends and relationships that I will cherish for the rest of my life."
Anil Taneja
BSc Management, First Year
"I chose to study at the School of Management because of the wide range of subjects offered that have opened my mind to the different dimensions within management. Through the balanced use of theoretical and practical engagement within the subject, along with the friendly academic and administrative staff, I'm driven to work to my full potential. I am also confident that when I leave the School of Management I will have gained a practical degree that can introduce me to a variety of careers."

"The management and marketing-related courses offered at Royal Holloway were both interesting and challenging and the advertising course in particular has played a huge role in my career to date. Since leaving the School of Management, I have worked at a top London agency and am now an Account Executive at Samsung’s in-house advertising agency, Cheil. Even after I graduated the staff at the School of Management have continued to be helpful and supportive and the excellent reputation of the university has also been a useful asset. The positive and friendly atmosphere on campus made my study period here an extremely enjoyable and productive experience."

The teaching and learning strategies employed in the School of Management take into account our students’ diverse range of backgrounds.
The first year foundation courses are designed to take account of the different levels of knowledge you have and provide you with the basic tools and techniques you need to gain as a manager. For some students, the programme will further develop existing skills and for others it will help develop new ones.
Our overall approach to learning is to adopt a creative attitude to problem solving. You will be shown how to research a topic and how to organise, analyse and interpret data.

In-course assignments are conducted as either individual or group work, and are usually in the form of essays or presentations.
