CALEB: Hi.
My name's Dr Caleb Goods
and I'm a lecturer here in Management
and also the course coordinator
of the Management major here at UWA business school.
So thanks for stopping by to check out
this short video about studying management unit
I just wanna briefly talk to you broadly
about what management is and what
studying management involves,
why studying management
what are the benefits of studying management
here in UWA and finally where it can take you
in the longer term.
So, studying management,
without effective management organisations fail.
Management provides organisational,
operational staff and resource expertise
that can be applied anywhere anytime.
And management skills are central to all organisations
and various roles within organisations.
And this isn't just BHP or Qantas and Rio
those sorts of big companies
but also to hospitals government,
not for profit organisations,
and even your local sporting clubs.
They all involve different forms and types of management.
So this means that
when you study management
you start studying a broad range of skills and topics.
This can include Organisational Behaviour,
Leadership, Operations and Project Management,
Responsible Management, Strategic Management,
International Business Management,
et cetera, et cetera,
you get the idea.
So, studying management gives you
a whole broad range of skills.
And here I've sort of listed
five of the top reasons for why
I think studying management could be important to you.
So in a more general sense,
management will help you gain insights into
how effective leaders operate inside organisations
and how all management is critical
to dealing with major issues
and challenges outside of organisations
and classes are taught in broad range of ways
from elections tutorials, workshops,
as well as in class activities.
The course itself is a three year course,
where you can choose to gain an overall understanding
of the field of management.
Or maybe you wanna specialise and focus
on things like international business,
or maybe managing operations
and business processes.
So the majors offered as a degree specific majors
as part of the Bachelor of Commerce.
But you can also take it as a second major,
maybe you wanna study marketing,
Human Resource Management,
or maybe you wanna do an engineering science degree,
as well as a range of other degrees
here at UWA and combine it with studying management.
So we offer a broad range of options
that allow you to combine and tailor your career
and personal interests.
To fulfil the way you want ahead.
Another key aspect of why studying management
and study you read more generally,
I think it's really beneficial
is that we really focus on giving you
some practical experiences.
So UWA has extensive links and networks
into the business community here in Western Australia,
and we give you an opportunity through experiences
work (INAUDIBLE) learning
to become career ready,
as well as exposing you to different organisations.
And that can often be a great way
to find a career after you finish here at UWA.
Of course experience and learning
is also not just achieved through these sorts of placements
within organisations and project based learning
but also through other opportunities.
And one of those great opportunities
is the opportunity to study overseas.
And if you're enthusiastic about spending
some time overseas,
and gaining all of the life and professional experiences
that Bose and UWA can allow you to do that.
There's also all sorts of other things
whether it's joining a club here at UWA volunteering,
et cetera.
Great ways to sort of diversify your skill set
while you're studying.
So what are the career opportunities?
Well, regardless of your future plans,
If you wanted to specialise
or continue studying
or join the workforce straight after leaving University,
the manager can assist you
in achieving those aspirations
by helping you understand key elements
of managing organisations,
how to diagnose problems,
find appropriate solutions that are embedded
in our basic principles.
So hopefully now you've got a better understanding
of what study management is about
what it looks like here UWA
and where it can take you.
So I look forward to seeing you
in my intro class sometime soon.
Thanks very much and have a great day.
