Business Management (with Foundation Year) BSc (Hons)

The Business Management course (with Foundation Year) is a four-year course with an integrated foundation year which leads to the same qualification as our three-year honours degree. It has been specifically designed for those wanting to undertake degree-level study but who may not meet the entry requirements or have traditional qualifications.<br/><br/>The Foundation Year (Year 0) offers you the chance to expand and strengthen your confidence, skills and knowledge – ensuring that you are well-prepared and qualified to progress into Year 1 of the undergraduate degree.<br/><br/>By taking a degree in Business Management, you will develop a broad understanding of business organisations. You will learn how businesses develop strategies, make decisions, organise their internal resources, and manage risk and uncertainty.<br/><br/>Business and marketing case studies form an integral part of many of the modules, especially during the later stages of your course programme. In a case study, information is presented about a firm’s products, markets, financial structure, human resources and other factors that may influence its success. During your course you will discuss and analyse strategies and actions that the firm should take in the future.<br/><br/>Your degree in Business Management will provide insights and expertise in specific business functions such as marketing, human resource management, accounting and finance. You will study specialised topics such as entrepreneurship and international business. You will also develop awareness of the wider environment in which businesses operate, by studying subjects such as business economics and business law.<br/><br/>‘Placement Year’ and International Experience Year’ options are available for this course.
