Business Management

BA Business Management

Mode: full-time

Honours Degree
We will challenge you to study the integrated and holistic nature of business and how managers have to deal with real business issues. Our business management courses are different because our aim is to enable you to work across the functional and operational divisions in business. You will study finance, marketing, human resources and operations, all taught by specialist tutors.

You can choose to study on our general Business Management programme or, after the first year, specialise in one of Business Management, Human Resources Management, International Business or Business Economics.
Business Management

This is a broad course covering all the key areas of management.

We offer support and encourage you to take a placement through our degree+ route. There are also various opportunities for international field trips and study exchanges on all our programmes.

Whatever route you choose, through a distinctive teaching and learning approach we provide opportunities for you to study realistic and relevant business management problems. We rely less on formal lectures than other programmes and through interactive learning, we provide more tutor supported activities, role plays and presentations.

If completing the Business Management degree+ in three years rather than four is important to you, you can follow our fast track route. This will be of interest if you have a minimum of 300 A level points, or appropriate work experience, looking to fast track an honours degree in three years.

Degree
You have the opportunity with degree+ to work for a year on a paid placement that counts as part of your studies. When you graduate, you’ll be more employable and likely to receive a
higher starting salary.
