Business Management
UCAS Code: N200
Course Description
Our Management degree covers all major areas of business management including human resource management, marketing, operations management and strategy as well as supporting disciplines such as accounting, economics, management information systems, organisational behaviour and quantitative analysis. Skills in analysing quantitative material will be developed alongside the ability to present good oral and written analysis.
Our degree gives you the flexibility to explore a range of topics and to specialise in line with your interests. You will learn about contemporary issues in business management and there will be opportunities to undertake project-based and individual work at a demanding level. A careful choice of options at levels 2 and 3 mean you can obtain a degree with a strong emphasis in an area such as marketing, human resource management or management information systems if you wish. Our course involves a blend of the academic and the practical aspects of business management, through a study of contemporary academic thinking and professional practice, and the extensive use of case studies and project work, some of it in local organisations.
In all modules studied at levels 2 and 3 you are expected to go beyond textbook learning, and to apply the theory within a business environment. By the end of the course you will have critical abilities, key skills and basic practical experience which will equip you for a successful career.
Direct entry to second year: This is possible provided there are places available and you have comparable qualifications to students entering in the first year. You must have covered first-year material and have achieved a good standard.
