To become an effective leader in business you need to make good decisions. You need to take risks and embrace opportunities. And you need to understand the impact you have on the world around you. Here at Manchester Met, we want to help you become the best you can be, whether you want to work in a multinational corporation, a charity or your own business.

Over one year, you’ll build on your existing business-related credits from a HND, foundation year or equivalent to gain a full honours degree. You’ll learn how to develop strategies to help businesses stay competitive, and discover how to solve the challenges all businesses face when balancing profits and responsibility.

Become a world citizen

The course has an international scope to reflect the global nature of modern business. With subjects like intercultural communications or enterprise in global contexts, you’ll learn how to lead teams and manage businesses anywhere in the world.

Manchester is a global city and during your studies you’ll meet staff and students from a wide range of countries. With class discussions, group projects and activities outside the classroom, there will be plenty of opportunities to gain new perspectives on the world.

Discover your passion

As well as looking for graduates who understand global challenges, organisations want leaders who are passionate about changing the world. Whether it’s improving sustainability or helping local communities, businesses have a big part to play in the future of our planet.

Our teaching team have a real drive to inspire their students. They’ll bring the subject to life with real case studies and their own experiences, showing you how top organisations across the world are growing their businesses by becoming more effective, more strategic, and more responsible.

Business skills are essential in any organisation, anywhere in the world. The opportunities really are endless. Many of our graduates decide to apply for graduate schemes to fast-track their way to management positions. Others decide to work with start-ups or not-for-profit organisations and charities. Some even start their own businesses.

If you decide to carry on your studies, there are a number of suitable degrees at Manchester Met. With postgraduate study, you can learn more about specific subjects like management, consultancy or entrepreneurship to help you stand out from other applicants in the job market.

Past students have gone on to roles at a wide range of organisations including IPG Photonics, ASOS, Visa Europe, Barclays and Ching Hing Bank.
