The possible titles are listed as headings within the Elective Courses below with the courses attached to those areas listed beneath them. If no such election is made, the degree certificate will state 'Management' without further specification.

Students may apply for an exemption from the following core courses taking place in Year 1: MG431 Managerial Economics, MG4E2 Marketing Management and MG434 Organisational Behaviour. A maximum of two course exemptions may be permitted for each student.
