COURSES IN RETAIL MANAGEMENT UNDERGRADUATE COURSES IN THE UK Available to Purchase

Throughout the 1980s, UK retailers have sought competent managers of graduate calibre for their management training programmes. Most of these graduates were non‐specialists recruited from a variety of higher education establishments. In recent years, however, a number of institutions have provided specialist retail courses to meet the needs of industry. Currently five degree programmes are in operation with two others due for approval in 1990/1991. The main features of each of these undergraduate courses are reviewed.
