The Department of Management Science was established in 1971 on its separation from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Department had its origins in a postgraduate course in Production Engineering in 1955, within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. From 1961 a course in Management Studies was offered, and the section became the Production Engineering and Management Studies Section (later the Management Engineering Section). In 1987, the Department merged with the Department of Social and Economic Studies to form the Management School.
