Course summary

Making full use of our excellent business links, our four-year Business Management BSc(Hons) provides the opportunity to graduate with a year’s paid work experience in industry and a Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Diploma in Management and Leadership. This professionally accredited degree follows the same first year as the three-year BSc(Hons), enabling you to develop the practical skills and broad understanding of business principles you will need to thrive in your chosen career. Core learning covers law, marketing, finance, people management, strategy, business operations and systems. As you progress, a wide selection of optional modules allows you to tailor your degree to suit your interests and career ambitions. You will develop a sound knowledge of key business functions and how they work together, as well as an appreciation of factors including customer and market requirements, competition, sustainability, and economic, political and technological change. All of our business degrees share the same first year, offering you the flexibility to change your final degree title. At the end of your first year you can choose to continue with a Business Management with Placement Year BSc(Hons), or to specialise in one of the following areas:

  • Business Management with Economics and Placement Year BSc(Hons)
  • Business Management with Finance and Placement Year BSc(Hons)
