Course summary

This HND course aims to develop independent-thinking professionals who can meet the demands of business employers and adapt to a constantly changing world. The HND in Business Management is a recognised qualification for anyone wanting a career in business or wider business services across a range of sectors and can also be used as a stepping stone to higher level degree studies. The majority of students on successful completion of this course join an honours degree at level 6 (final year). Students will study business skills, knowledge and understanding associated with professional practice in the international business environment. Subjects studied as part of the course will develop skills for leading, managing, and responding to change as well as tackle a range of complex business situations. Studies involve different aspects of business such as the global environment, human resources, marketing, leadership and management as well as accounting and finance. Business and business practices change rapidly and so successful managers require the skills to be able to work in an environment where there are both opportunities and challenges that are presented by a global market place, work across multi-cultural and diverse teams equipping students with the knowledge and understanding of culturally diverse organisations.
