Business touches on almost every aspect of modern human society and careers in business are diverse and often highly paid. At undergraduate level students can gain a foundation in many of these aspects of the business world, before choosing a specialisation.
This course is one of the departments common entry courses. Introductory business and more specialised taster business modules are studied in Years 1 & 2 of these common entry courses. This gives you the flexibility to choose your stream at the end of Year 2 and then specialise in your chosen stream in Years 3 & 4.
In the Business Management option, Year 3 students will study specialist subjects in more detail including: Business Research Methods; Organisational Behaviour; Operations Management; Business Finance; International Business and more. Additional specialist subjects can be chosen depending on the student's area of interest.
Is this Course for you?
The breadth and depth of knowledge and skills you acquire on this course will give you a competitive advantage over other graduates whose knowledge is more narrowly focused.
By studying Management, you will develop your team work and communication skills, which are both important qualities for successful leadership. Whatever you end up doing - starting your own business, working in industry or the public sector - the ability to be a good team player and to build relationships and influence others will be essential.
Finally, one of the biggest benefits of studying Management is the sheer variety of career choices available. You can apply for jobs in marketing, human resources, finance, operations, you can start your own business - every organisation depends on capable and committed employees and managers.
By studying for the Bachelor of Business (Hons) in Business Management, you immediately enhance your career prospects for life.
