Course summary
Our Accelerated 2 year Business Studies degree will give you a great understanding of the many aspects of business so that you can use your knowledge upon graduation. You will study topics in Management and Organisation, as well as Accounting and Marketing – it’s this fuller understanding of how different aspects of business operate that will make you a world ready graduate. In an ever-changing world where businesses are facing new challenges and developing new technologies, economic models, and workplace practices, we need leaders. People who aren’t afraid to push the boundaries, test new ideas and innovate to build a better and more stable world. Your generation will provide the answers to the challenges we face today. The UA92 Business Management Accelerated degree is designed to prepare you to do so with innovation, intelligence, resilience, creativity and flair. This University Academy 92 (UA92) course is accredited by Lancaster University and delivered by UA92 at the UA92 campus in Manchester. For more information, take a look at our website: www.ua92.ac.uk Your UA92 degree goes far beyond the traditional academic experience. Each academic year, in addition to your four subject modules, you’ll study an extra credit-bearing module, which focuses entirely on character and personal development. You’ll get to take on a real-life project, based on a live scenario, set by one of our industry partners. You’ll experience first-hand the current issues facing the industry, get the opportunity to apply your subject knowledge, challenge your perspectives, step outside your comfort zone and build key employability skills to prepare you for your future career. These experiences are instrumental in developing transferable skills and key competencies such as leadership, resilience and well-being, communication, problem-solving and team-working. To help you track your progress and further refine your developing skill-set, you’ll meet regularly with your own personal development coach throughout years 1 & 2.

Assessment methods include individual and group work which is undertaken in a range of formats related to your subject. This may include writing an essay or producing a report, presenting findings or creating audio/visual projects. Practical assessment is favoured where possible, for example, Media and Communication students producing a Podcast, or Sports Coaching students running a coaching session.
