Managing finance was by far the most difficult unit I have undertaken to date, I am really concerned waiting for my results as I struggled to complete my assignments. If I had planned to work on Wall Street, finance is an important skill-set, for me, it is less likely to be required.

I sometimes wonder on the value of this unit, should this be a core unit or an elective unit as this is such a specialised area. This unit does have applications in regards to corporate structure and capital funding; however, seeking a manager’s role in a government department, this knowledge will be in excess of what is required for the position.

As this course is fairly expensive, I wonder if a more specialised MBA is the answer such as human resources, project management, marketing, operations, organisational effectiveness or finance. What I do know is I have to put in a whole load of extra study in to really feel competent in this area – because I don’t think I am at the moment.
