Business Management Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Our BA (Hons) Business Management degree is designed to prepare you for a successful career in the dynamic world of business. Co-designed with industry professionals, it equips you with the skills and confidence to thrive in the digital economy.  Whether you are aspiring to become a business development professional, digital marketing executive, accounts or project manager, operations executive, innovation consultant, business owner or entrepreneur, this course provides the practical knowledge and experience you need to excel in your future career.

A business management degree prepares you for rewarding career opportunities, from established roles such as project or operations management to fast-growing areas like digital marketing, data-driven decision making, and innovation management. For those with entrepreneurial ambitions, the course offers opportunities to develop new ideas through access to collaborative workspaces, industry connections, and supportive networks that help bring business concepts to life.

You’ll have access to:

* A dedicated placement module in your second year, giving you practical work experience in a real business environment.

* A block-teaching approach where you focus on one module at a time for six weeks before completing your assessment, helping you deeply engage with each subject area.

* The opportunity to tailor your studies by choosing a pathway to help you specialise in either Digital Marketing or Digital Innovation and Enterprise, which will be formally recognised on your final degree certificate.

#### Work with industry

Our programme features guest speakers, live briefs, and opportunities for you to complete short projects in a business. All students complete a work placement as part of their course and are supported in developing their resume and honing their interview technique. These exciting work placements are key opportunities for you develop new skills, apply learning from your course, and gain industry experience to add to your CV. If you are looking for even more, we offer the chance to complete a year in industry as part of your course.
