BA Managing Civil Society Organisations *
About the Course
Civil society organisations include voluntary organisations, registered charities, community groups, faith-based organisations, professional and business associations, trade unions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), coalitions, advocacy and pressure groups, social movements and enterprises. They are neither businesses nor a part of the public sector but occupy a shifting and blurred intermediary boundary between these sectors. These are often termed the Third Sector.
This programme provides a vocational course set within an academic context in which you will develop skills and knowledge directly applicable to the workplace in a variety of different contexts.
You will be encouraged to:
- Develop an understanding of theoretical issues and the complex dynamics of different organisations
- Develop decision-making and problem-solving skills to help you analyse and produce innovative solutions to management problems in civil society
- Expand and build on your knowledge of sustainable community, social development and regeneration issues
