Business is about creating value from the co-ordinate efforts of people and resources. Making money is just one of the many types of value people create through organizing. Organizing takes many forms: corporations, start-ups, family businesses, non-profits, government agencies etc. The study of business requires a broad understanding of how human beings apply their skills, networks, knowledge and creativity to problems and opportunities in the world around them - and how they shape that world through their efforts to compete and collaborate over time.

Your degree and what you’ll study
In the first year, students will gain an understanding of the historic development of business, organisation and management, together with grounding in the business related social science and quantitative disciplines that underpin them. Over subsequent years the programme provides students with the opportunity to explore a progressively deeper and varied understanding of the subject areas that form a comprehensive education in business and management.
Students will be able to choose not only from the broad set of disciplines contained in Business, but also from a wide range of subject areas across the University to ensure that they have exposure to the different perspectives on knowledge that enable them to become independent and critical thinkers, as well as effective communicators in an increasingly complex and multi-cultural society.
