Description

Learn how managers keep their business on track to meet its goals, whilst gaining practical experience with leading businesses.

If you’ve set your sights on a career in management, studying our Business Management degree provides an excellent starting point, offering the opportunity to develop your employability. You will also develop managerial skills and perspectives, whilst gaining valuable, practical experience of management situations. Alongside classes you can also utilise a Continuing Professional Development framework to develop your practical skills and help you to build links with the business community.

As the global business environment continues to become increasingly competitive and challenging, businesses need to take more risks and develop sustainable business models that serve their customers and have a positive impact on society. This course aims to provide you with a critical understanding of the management of organisations.

Studying the BA (Hons) Business Management award is a great opportunity to gain a degree that is focused on your long-term career prospects. Whether you are wanting to manage your own business or you are interested in working in a large corporation, you will need to possess an understanding of how businesses operate and how skilled managers can contribute to their success.

Importantly, management is about people, and we will enable you to develop your own skills as a team player, a group member and ultimately as a manager of others. Your Business Management degree will allow you to specialise in management and gain an insight into how managers work to meet organisational objectives. Alongside this knowledge you will also develop the skills you will need to be effective as a future business leader in the dynamic digital age.

Special features

• A focus on the management of organisations builds the knowledge and skills you will need as a manager. This includes the management of people, resources and business activities
• Accreditation by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) giving you a professionally recognised qualification (Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership) alongside your degree
• Throughout the course there are opportunities to engage with practising managers, organisations, employers and entrepreneurs and take part in work related experiences and internships

Year in Industry

All of our business students have the option of adding in a year in industry and / or a semester of studying abroad with one of our partners to their course. A year in industry gives students fantastic experience and is attractive to potential employers. This normally takes place after the second year of the course and extends the course duration by one year (15% of the standard tuition fee is chargeable). Study Abroad normally takes place for a semester of the second year of the course and doesn’t extend the course duration as credits achieved abroad count towards your degree.

You don’t need to decide whether you would like to take either of these options until after you have started the course with us.
