Bachelor's degree

Duration
4 Years
This flexible business and management degree is different from many others. You will complete two six-month placements with separate companies rather than 12 months with one. Experience of two roles will help you decide on your future career direction.
You’ll also interact with businesses through practical research including the Final Year Project. You will enjoy teaching informed by the latest research and our industry links.
Year 1 covers the core subjects relevant for business and management. These principles will provide context for the rest of your course.
From Year 2 onwards you can customise your degree with optional units. These let you explore other areas of interest from a wide range of topics.
In your final year you can apply for our International Academic Exchange programme. You'll gain international exposure by spending a semester studying abroad at one of our partner business schools.
About this course
This practical course will prepare you for a range of business and management roles. You’ll develop your business skills with two professional placements.
Professional Development Programme
Prepare for the career you want with our Professional Development Programme (PDP). PDP includes training and workshops to improve your skills in areas like:
writing CVs and applications
job interviews
aptitude tests
PDP will also help you find relevant work placements and make the most of your time there.
Teaching
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in business and management. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Your application, especially your personal statement, should explain your motivation for choosing this degree and any relevant non-academic interests and achievements.
Because this course involves a work placement in Year 2, your application is more likely to be successful if you demonstrate an active interest in understanding people, work and organisations. This should include evidence of working with others and developing transferable skills from your studies or through work experience or involvement in extra-curricular activities.
