Undergraduate management courses
We cover the core areas of management; marketing, HR, strategy, finance and accounting, IT, production and operations and international business. Technical subjects such as economics and statistics are also studied and further options including; small business management and growth, business, sustainability and society and managing beyond profit. We also offer courses that are distinctive to Royal Holloway – in particular those that deal with the historical, political and social forces that shape modern business today. In addition we are very internationally-orientated, and offer topics in comparative, Asia Pacific and European businesses.
You will have the opportunity to acquire expertise within chosen specialisms, including marketing, accounting, human resources, information systems and international business. You can also study courses that combine your interest in management with another academic discipline.
Our course structure has the advantage of providing you with considerable flexibility as to the subjects you wish to study and a range of different degree ‘pathways’ designed to benefit you. These are tailored to suit your own interests, some of which involve collaboration with other top-rated departments in the College. Please see our BSc Management| and Joint and minor options| pages for further details.
Undergraduate students graduating 2010-2014 may now get some exemptions from the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants's professional exams.

Admissions
The School's aim is to attract intelligent, self-motivated students who will contribute to and benefit from, a lively and stimulating academic environment. Our entry requirements are high in order to maintain the high quality and reputation of our programme and therefore each year we only admit 400 new undergraduate students on single or joint honours courses. In addition, about 30 students are admitted to read management within the European Studies department.
Our admissions process begins with your UCAS application form, as we favour students who show a genuine interest in management combined with the academic potential. If you are an applicant currently taking A-levels or the equivalent foreign qualification, we may make you an offer and invite you to attend an open day. For further information regarding the School of Management please email MN-UGadmissions@rhul.ac.uk| or visit our FAQs| page.
