BA (Hons) Business Management

This three-year Business Management BA (Hons) degree offers a solid foundation for aspiring professionals to pursue careers in leadership positions, start their own businesses, or even specialize in areas like international business, healthcare management, or sustainable business practices.

​You’ll study business objectives, practices and principles through case study research, lectures, workshops and student-led activities. You’ll look at the supply chain and logistics, production and project management as well as business organisation, human resources and the principles of leadership. 

​You’ll examine the modern business environment and how ‘start-up’ businesses grow as technology advances. You will focus on sustainability and the opportunities or limitations small businesses face, as well as developing your own concepts and business plans through a series of lectures, workshops, course work and group work. 

You’ll explore the fundamentals of accounting, finance and marketing, as well as getting the opportunity to learn about international business and marketing.

The programme has been developed in conjunction with employers and offers a well-rounded education in many areas of modern business management. It covers the organisational issues behind modern business, but also the legal, ethical and sustainability issues facing companies.

The underlying principle behind the course content is to mirror the modern business environment, giving you the opportunity to solve business problems in real-life case studies. You’ll learn in small groups, developing the confidence to work in project teams to a professional standard.

You’ll gain real-world experience through professional placements, helping you to develop the skills and experience you’ll need on your CV to impress potential employers and secure a job and you’ll have the opportunity to work on business reports, presentations and group projects that reflect the modern business environment.

Following your degree, you will graduate with an invaluable combination of in-depth theoretical knowledge and professional experience, preparing you for a successful start to your career in business and management.
