15 credits, Level 6

Autumn teaching

The broad aim of the module is to develop your understanding and skills – as prospective future managers – for formulating the organisation’s overall strategic direction.

The module will therefore help you develop an understanding of:

the different approaches to strategy
how choices are made between different possible approaches
the context in which choices are made
how strategies and structures are designed and implemented.

This module will complement the different management skills already developed through earlier business and management modules.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 30 hours of contact time and about 120 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
