Course Description

Prepare yourself for a career in business or in any organisation that values an awareness of economic issues. You’ll graduate ‘business ready’, as a confident, independent thinker, with a detailed knowledge of business and management, and the ability to adapt rapidly to change.

BSc Business Management will give you in-depth knowledge of organisations and their environments, including their relationships to society.

You will explore key theories and concepts in economics and their application in international business, and gain a solid understanding of areas such as managing people, operations, logistics, marketing and business ethics. Additionally, you will learn how businesses can operate effectively in a multicultural environment.

In readiness for your future career, you will acquire key attributes employers value, such as commercial acumen, self-reflection and emotional intelligence, alongside skills in research, analysis, numeracy and project management. You will finish the course confident in your personal values, with the knowledge and experience to solve business problems ethically, and an excellent understanding of the wider economy.

As a graduate of this degree, you will gain the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 5 Diploma in Management & Leadership. This industry-recognised professional qualification will fast-track your progress towards chartered manager status.
