Course structure

In your first year, you will study international business, accounting, finance, marketing, mathematics and statistics. This will give you a solid foundation to build on, whichever aspect of business or management you choose to focus on later.

During your second year, we will help you to develop an understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis. This includes analysis of survey data, interviews, and observation in organisations and will prepare you for your final year dissertation, where you can focus on a topic of your choosing.

During your second and final years, you will take other core and optional units to suit your interests. By tailoring your options, you can choose to graduate with a specialist pathway, helping to demonstrate your knowledge in specific areas. You do not apply for a pathway at the start of the course but can decide in the second year of study, giving you time to discover your passion. Pathways are:

• BSc Business and Management (Decision Science)
• BSc Business and Management (Financial Management)
• BSc Business and Management (Management Consulting)
• BSc Business and Management (Governance)
• BSc Business and Management (Digital Business)
• BSc Business and Management (Human Resource Management and Work Futures)

If you do not opt for pathway specialism, you can graduate with a generalist BSc Business and Management degree.
