BSc (Hons) Business Management with Marketing (Foundation Year and Placement Year)

The University of Law Business School

You can choose to take an additional Foundation Year before you start this course. This introductory year focuses on developing the key skills required to study at degree level and covers the same modules across all business and law courses. The modules covered will initially enhance your communications skills, digital and information literacy and ability to think critically. In addition, modules covering the Foundations of Business Management, Law, and Social Sciences will not only support your progression onto your business degree, but also give you an introduction to other disciplines. You then have the added flexibility of switching your degree programme if another discipline captures your interest, subject to availability and entry requirements.

The BSc (Hons) Business Management with Marketing is ideal for those interested in a future career in Business or Marketing. The programme offers students a detailed grounding in business and the more specialist concepts of marketing management. Students will study the relational nature of marketing and how strategic marketing planning and marketing communications can help aid the success of a business organisation.

Year One of the course will provide students with a clear understanding of the foundations of business alongside the fundamentals of marketing. In Years Two and Three we explore the more specialist concepts and applications of marketing management. In particular, students will examine business in a global context as well as digital marketing communications.
