Course programme

The three-year BSc Business Management programmes share a generic first year, during which the students take seven compulsory modules from across the range of business disciplines, in order to obtain a broad understanding of business and management contexts and processes.

Subsequent years provide students with the opportunity to specialise in one of four key areas of management or to draw on options from the full range of different management areas. All the programmes are designed as a bridge to careers in business and management.

Because these degree programmes form part of a group of courses we advise that you only apply for one in your UCAS application. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and it may be possible to change degree programmes within the Business School at the start of the first year. Similarly, if you wish to change onto another programme within this suite at the end of the first year we typically approve programme transfer requests, subject to the academic requirements of the first year being met.

The BSc Business Management programme provides a broad education across the range of business and management subjects. There is greater scope for students to choose optional modules in this programme and due to the broad nature of the degree, students take at least one module in their final year from each of the fields of HRM, Marketing, Accounting, Operations and General Management.

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
