In BA Global Business management course, you’ll benefit from a broad introduction to business, exploring the various functions found within almost all businesses – from operations to marketing, accounting, human resource management and entrepreneurship. You’ll develop your understanding of how and where businesses sell their products and services, who they sell to, how they make decisions, and what improves their chances of success.

This course can be studied full-time over three years, or four years if you add a placement year in industry. There’s also a two and a half-year accelerated option (available for January intake only), and a part-time option. There are three intakes in September, January and May. The course also allows students to join directly to year 2 subject to the completion of a level 4 qualification.

Graduates’ first jobs, after completing this course, tend to be in junior management, from where you could progress rapidly into more senior roles. You might take a specific job, or join a graduate programme. Alternatively, you might decide to become self-employed or move on to postgraduate study.

Your global business skills will be transferable, which means they are easily portable across many industries and even many countries. You could work for a UK-based organisation with a few offices overseas; a domestic business which trades internationally; an overseas business; or a large multi-national corporation.
