Business Management

Description

This course is about giving you the opportunity to develop the knowledge and expertise that will make you a successful manager and lead to the management career you are striving for. Your course initially provides an overview of the main areas any manager needs to understand in a modern business. As you progress through the course and identify your career path, you are able to choose topics that specialise in management areas that you want to study in more depth. There is an emphasis of building management skills. Members of the course team have experience of senior management and consultancy and incorporate this into their teaching, to relate theory to the real business world.

Course Content

The first year explores a wide range of business subjects that provide the foundation for your degree. You also start to develop the professional and academic skills necessary for a business career.

The second year considers a strategic view of organisation management that brings together all the subjects in the course. The development of communication, presentation and interview skills also supports career planning and graduate employment.

In the final year you can choose to specialise in a particular area, for example supply chain management or international business. This can tie in directly to the area of business you want to work in and is something you will be able to discuss at interviews to show where your interests and motivations lie.

Your course will be based on a series of lectures, with associated seminars and workshop practical classes. In addition, your personal tutor will review and discuss your progress with you and will be available for advice.
