How the Course Works
It's flexible
Tailor what you study to suit your own interests and career aspirations. This degree is part of a larger portfolio of 12 courses covering business, accounting and marketing.
The first two years covers a common curriculum including the basics of business, accounting, and marketing meaning there’s the flexibility to swap between all of or some of the courses depending on when you join.
The course options within the Business Management stream are:
Joining us in Year 1: You can choose to specialise within business management, add one of the extra subjects above to it, or even move to a marketing or accounting course in year 2. In year 3 you can still move within any of the courses in the Business Management stream.
Joining us in Year 2 or 3: You can transfer within the Business Management stream at the start of both years, except for Business Management with Law.
Shape your own learning journey
Our academics will provide advice and full support about transferring, and help you choose your modules as you progress through the years.
Your chosen specialism will be reflected in your degree title e.g. BA (Hons) Business Management with People Management - or if you choose not to specialise, you will graduate in BA (Hons) Business Management.
Transfering between the courses is straightforward, so only apply for one of them.
