What Makes This Course So Special?
One of the best things about our business studies courses is that they provide an insight into all aspects of the business world. This allows students to gain an appreciation of how everyone, such as operations, marketing and finance, has to work together to allow a business to succeed. This emphasis upon skill development and training is even more apparent than in some of our other degree courses. For example, specific modules such as Business Skills, Work Based Learning and Enterprise Development are solely delivered on the Business Studies Programmes and have a vocational flavour.
Course Intro
Business Studies is a multi-disciplinary area. This course provides an excellent foundation for further study on a variety of professional body accredited courses in Accounting, HR, and Marketing that we offer, and students may secure some exemptions.
We care about our students too - We have always been in the top 10 in the National Student Survey. In 2009 we were 1st in the UK for assessment and feedback.
