BA (Hons) Business Management including a Foundation Year (Combined)

We bring Business and Management to life with inspiring and real experiences. As Freya Brewis (BA Business Management and Marketing – final year 2019-2020) student says: "The programme's content will provide the foundation of knowledge required for success in the business world... it provides the tools for you to stand out from every other student and to develop your understanding further.”

It’s a really competitive world in business today. We will equip you with much more than business knowledge.Your future employers are seeking skills that we develop with you. This means you leave us with experiences that should give you an edge at interview and in the workplace. We develop outstanding business professionals so that you, like Freya, can progress to a great career.

Our combined awards are focused upon developing your core abilities in your chosen majors, to support your distinctiveness in the workplace whilst also offering a more rounded approach to your development.

Developing your understanding in two areas of study, on a state-of-the-art dedicated business campus will allow you to grow into a confident business professional at a UK top 20 Business School (Chartered Association of Business Schools ranking, 2018).

You will also benefit from our Student Experience Representatives. These are students who make sure that your voice is heard.

Your transformation from new student to future business professional will begin from day one.
