Programme Content

In Year 1, students are introduced to the fundamentals of business – management and the external environment. During Year 1, all modules are compulsory with integrative modules developing business awareness and key skills. Year 2 builds on knowledge gained and includes both compulsory and a range of optional modules focusing on operational management. In Year 2, students may choose to pursue a generalist Business Management pathway, or specialise in one of four areas: Marketing, Human Resource Management, Enterprise and Innovation or Sustainable Business.

More advanced specialist modules are available in the final year. In addition, students undertake integrative modules involving case studies and business simulations. These modules develop an understanding of business strategy and emerging issues confronting organisations in an era of increasing globalisation and ethical, social and environmental concern.

Work placement

Students may choose to spend a year on a work placement in a business organisation. This is normally a paid placement and all placements are subject to approval by the University. A placement year has been shown to improve the overall performance of graduates whilst on the programme and enhances their career development and employment opportunities.
