Location of Umea University
The Master´s program in Management provides students with the opportunity to acquire the managerial skills needed to deal with the complex, global, and constantly changing world of business.
Intellectually challenging tasks are combined with real-life applications in the areas of strategic and change management, project management, and human resource management. Because we acknowledge the limitations of traditional theory, we balance our program with the most recent research achievements, better preparing our students for a working life in contemporary and future corporate and community worlds.
The international dimension permeates the issues and applications dealt with in the courses, and internationalization is an integrated part of the educational environment.
Students completing this program are prepared to assume managerial responsibilities requiring analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as team-working and leadership skills.
The program leads to a Master's Degree after two years but students can gradaute with a Magister Degree after only one year. At the moment the Swedish Degree system is undergoing major changes in order to adapt to the Bologna Declaration. The exact names of these two degrees are not finalised. New information will be presented here some time in the beginning of next year.
Contents
The first semester is spent studying core modules.
During the second semester you must decide whether to do one thesis each year of the program or only one larger thesis at the end of the program. If you chose to do two theses you will spend your second semester studying an elective module and undertaking your first thesis. If you choose to do one large thesis at the end of the program your second semester will be spent studying an elective and, depending on your preparation, a research methods module. (An internship is currently an elective course only for Swedish speaking students).
During the third semester you will be expected to broaden your knowledge by choosing a minor area of studies, that is core modules 1 and 2 from a specialization that is not your major area. The third semester ends with a mandatory course for all specializations studied jointly.
In the fourth semester you will either do an elective module and your second thesis or one large thesis.
