This course will equip you with the skills, qualities and capabilities valued by employers across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors and that underpin successful enterprise. It means you’ll complete your studies as a highly employable, culturally and ethically aware graduate with the potential to make positive organisational change. 

You’ll have the freedom to explore and experiment in a range of different business areas. Broader management modules include marketing, finance strategy, organisational behaviour and HR. And you’ll also have the opportunity to choose specialist modules that suit your own interests and intended career.  

The programme’s integrated, cohesive approach will enable you to develop your understanding of global business, and how different business functions operate and complement each other. Through problem-based and experiential learning approaches you’ll focus on real-world challenges that equip you to resolve complex business problems in sustainable, responsible and transformative ways. 

Between Years 2 and 3 we offer the chance to undertake a work placement in the UK or overseas, or to study outside the UK with one of our long-standing partner institutions. So, you’ll gain crucial real-world experience, preparing you for professional employment or other enterprise-related activity.
