Course programme
In Year 1 you will learn about business and management, focusing on the international environment and the application of theory to practice. You will examine contemporary business issues, focusing on competing in an uncertain environment and innovating for success. The development of your core management capabilities begins in the first year and includes problem solving, communication and IT skills.
In Year 2 and your final year the core compulsory modules build on the knowledge you gained in the first year and prepare you for honours level (final year). You select optional modules in consultation with your adviser.
Work placements
You can spend your third year on a work placement, which is a great opportunity to develop your skills of intrapreneurship, build your networks, enhance your CV, preparing you for future employment. You will gain commercial and practical experience, and many students are offered graduate positions by their placement employer. You may undertake your placement in your own company.Students have enjoyed inspiring and intellectually challenging positions at IBM, Aldi, BMW, Dyson, Ernst & Young, GlaxoSmithKline, Nestlé and PayPal.
The fee during the placement year is £1350 if you are a UK/EU student and £3,700 if you are an international student. This fee is the equivalent of a module. It covers the cost of your placement tutor, and the support we provide whilst looking for a placement position and during your placement role. During your placement year you will still be classed as a student. You will be paid a financially sustainable salary which will vary depending on your role, company and location.
Study abroad
You may be able to go on a European or international study exchange while you are at Brookes. Most exchanges take place in the second year.
Studying abroad provides an amazing opportunity to add value to your studies by:
- improving your understanding of opportunities for international growth and employment within an international market
- boosting your language skills
- building your confidence in adapting to new situations
- improving your knowledge of different cultures.
While on exchange you will gain credits which count towards your degree. We have more than 100 partner universities around the world. Funding is available through the Erasmus scheme, and also via some international programmes such as the Santander Student Awards.
There is also a European work placement programme which gives you the chance to work abroad as part of your studies.
