Course programme

Programme Overview

Our BA Business and Management is designed to equip you for a management career in industry, commerce or the public sector. To this end the programme provides you with a detailed understanding of the functional areas of business and the relationship of management theories and practice to them. In addition to modules covering accounting, economics, marketing and human resource management, there is the opportunity to take a number of optional modules. The programme integrates the various components studied through the final year Business Strategy module. Another feature of the programme is the option of a final year business project, which will develop your research skills and involves their application to problems in the local or wider business community.

During each year of study at Exeter you must take modules totalling 120 credits. In your final year you can take up to 30 credits in a subject outside the School, subject to prior approval. Please note that all options are timetable permitting, and that options may change.
