The Philosophy of the Department
The Department offers mainstream courses dealing with the fundamental ideas of a subject area rather than courses that have a specific application. Our aim is to give students the ideas with which they can analyse particular applications. For example, by offering courses on services marketing, students can apply the concepts to any number of services such as tourism, local government or engineering.
Our staff and students engage in relevant scholarship. Relevant scholarship can be seen as a nexus between scholarship which is theoretical, and relevancy which is practical. These two components are incorporated in both departmental research and teaching.
The Department of Management, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship is located in K Block, Ilam Apartments, Homestead Lane. The College reception area for all student enquiries is located on the ground floor, K145. The Head of Department and Departmental Administrators are located in K149 (first floor).
