Business Management with Professional Placement Year

What will the business of the future be like? And what skills will you need to study to be successful in it? On the BSc Business Management degree, you will develop the range of leadership and management skills you need for business now and learn how to recognise opportunities and be adaptable for the future. You will also build your personal portfolio of professional evidence which will enhance your CV and help you in job applications and interviews.

We have worked with industry partners to make sure the programme is highly practical, career-focused and industry-informed to prepare you for a successful management career. We are proud to work with our student panel to ensure our teaching is relevant, inclusive and respectful for all.

All our undergraduate courses are available with:
• Placement Year - on the placement year option, you will not pay fees to the University and will earn a wage for the work that you do.
• Study Abroad – study with one of our partner Universities for a semester or a year.
• Foundation Year – start with the fundamental areas of business and the key skill you need to study at University level
