How will I learn during the Business Management BA (Hons) degree course?
Our BA (Hons) Business Management programme features research-rich, but practice-led, teaching that develops your cultural, contextual and ethical professional understanding. Alongside conventional approaches we also embrace student-led, experiential, problem-based learning for which you’re supported to work interactively and collaboratively.
You’ll learn through real-world case studies of multinational corporations and regional/local SMEs, as well as public and not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises. This cultivates your capacity for practical application, leadership and management.
Virtual, self-directed learning technologies support you 24/7 including extensive, carefully curated resources from the world’s leading management researchers and practitioners. Our eLearning portal also enables you to contact your tutors in real time and to submit the formative and summative assessments that support your learning.
Between Levels 5 and 6 you can spend a placement year in industry. We have strong links with a wide range of local through to international organisations offering excellent placement opportunities. Alternatively, you might choose to take a study year abroad, a chance to experience a different academic environment and culture through our partners in countries including Japan, Australia, Europe and US. Whether you work or study, this crucial, real-world experience will enhance your options for professional employment or other enterprise-related activity.
The development of your research and discovery capabilities is underpinned by both statistical and qualitative approaches. In the final year, this culminates in a 40-credit student-led, supervisor-supported integrative dissertation, a ‘live client’ management enquiry or consultancy project with our Business Clinic, or an enterprise project. It all contributes to your real-world learning.
