In an increasingly cutthroat global economy, we aim to create reflective, socially and ethically aware specialists in operations management.
You’ll learn to identify problems, gather relevant information and analyse your data to make decisions and take action.
More mathematically rigorous than the equivalent BA, the BSc in Business and Management is a well-balanced degree that will prepare you to make complex decisions in a volatile global marketplace. Your year in industry will give you the chance to put your skills into practice at the cutting edge of management theory, then draw on your first-hand experience to inform your final year of study.
Course content
Our business and management, accounting and finance degrees share some common elements in Year 1 to introduce you to the core concepts underpinning these key disciplines.
As you progress, you'll develop the knowledge and skills acquired in your first year, giving both depth and breadth to your learning, with an emphasis on mathematical skills and statistical analysis. You'll be able to choose option modules to widen your knowledge or bring your specialism into focus.
In your third year, you'll undertake a 12-month paid placement in industry. You'll develop your understanding of business and management, apply the theories you've learned and enhance your employability.
Teaching and assessment
You’ll study and learn with academics who are active researchers, experts in their field and have a passion for their subjects. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.
