Graduates will be suited to roles in social enterprises, ‘for purpose’ hybrid organisations, charities, non-profit organisations, international NGOs, in the Corporate Social Responsibility departments of for-profit organisations, or setting up your own social enterprise.You will follow a core set of modules in your first year to introduce you to the fundamental concepts of business management and social purpose – such as economics, quantitative skills, marketing and critical analysis. In your second year you will begin to apply the theory you’ve learnt to issues in leading and managing social purpose organisations. These fundamental issues include the structure, mission, funding and governance of non-profit organisations; the motivation and management of volunteers; leading NGOs in a changing global climate; the growth of hybrid models and ‘for purpose’ companies; campaigning and social marketing. You will also continue to study core business management modules, including an introduction to entrepreneurship. You’ll also continue to take business management modules alongside modules focusing around social purpose and change. In your third year you’ll begin to specialise and refine your management skills including a mentoring and coaching module to improve your skills in communication and responsibility – both of which employers highly value. Part of your final year project will include a practical project with social purpose dimension. This could involve working with major businesses on their engagement with social enterprise or social responsibility, for example. During your time on the BSc Business Management with Social Purpose pathway, we support your professional and personal growth in a number of ways. As well as hosting a series of business networking events at our state-of-the art building, 3rd year students have the opportunity to mentor 1st year Business Management students and GCSE Mathematics pupils across London, ensuring you develop your communication and leadership skills throughout. The degree is available as a three-year degree, or four-year degree. The four-year degree offers you the opportunity to take a placement to gain relevant work experience and to make contacts in the world of business; or to study abroad for a year or a term at one of our highly respected partner institutions across the world.
