Organisations increasingly seek graduates with a deeper understanding of the social, political and moral dimensions of management, so that they can protect the wider interests of society. This unique programme answers the demand for a new kind of management graduate - able to navigate the wider environment and use philosophy as a tool to take on key political and social questions.

Lancaster University creates competent managers who can also see the underlying connections between complex problems. These individuals are able to respond to the demands of reconciling economic growth, sustainability and equitable social outcomes.

Lancaster University makes sure their graduates are in tune with contemporary political developments and international relations. They will learn how to deal with complex issues, such as the management of people and organisational change. They will develop in-depth knowledge of the major historical and intellectual theories, concepts and issues relating to politics, philosophy and the management of institutions.

Alongside this fresh way of thinking, graduates will acquire and build skills such as intercultural team working, negotiation, research design, and report-writing. Students are free to focus on what enthuses them, with options ranging from Diplomacy to Contemporary Philosophy.
