3. Professional opportunities:

The skills acquired with the degree allow the performance of management positions in any of the functional areas of the company: general management, human resources, finance and accounting, production or marketing. It is also a suitable course for the application of skills for the management of SMEs and for entrepreneurs.

4. Academic opportunities in relation to other degrees:

As this is a degree that develops transversal managerial competences, it is not incompatible and allows for the completion of other degrees, specialisation master’s degrees or courses with which it could be complemented. Specifically, possible academic outlets could be the other master’s degrees offered by the centre:

– Master in Human Resources Management

– Master in Accounting and Auditing

– Masterup (Master in Business Creation)

– Master in Corporate Social Responsibility

5. Labour market insertion:

The Quality Unit of the University of Cadiz is working with the Andalusian Regional Government to cross-reference the data on graduates with the employees registered with the Social Security and thus able to provide objective data on labour market insertion. However, informal contacts with our students and through the professional network LinkedIn show the opportunity that the degree represents to broaden the professional opportunities for graduates and increase their chances of insertion in the labour market.
