The Leadership and Management Science major develops the competencies critical for leading dynamic workplaces of the future. The major prepares students for the challenges of the future by managing and leading through rapid change and disruption, globalisation, diversity, connectivity, continuous development, and sustainability and corporate social responsibility challenges. Courses emphasise key competencies in leadership and management demanded by employers, such as analytic thinking, thinking independently, evidence based decision making, planning and communicating effectively, identifying and solving problems, collaborating in dynamic teams, leading with competence, and working effectively across cultures and functions. This major is well suited (and indeed designed) for dual-degree or dual-major students, particularly those in the technical, professional, and scientific disciplines. It prepares students to meet employer demands for the skills critical to graduate level leadership and managerial positions and for students who aspire to higher leadership and managerial roles in their future careers. The course also enhances the employability skills for graduates aspiring to transition their technical knowledge to leadership and managerial roles in the future.
