Introduction
This course is an ideal insight into the fast-moving world of business today. It has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed within the public, private or third sector.
Key Features
The specific aims are to provide the student with:
A systematic understanding and detailed knowledge of business organisations, concepts relevant to their management, the environments in which they operate, and issues relevant to innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
The ability to conceptualise, devise, modify and/or apply analytical frameworks appropriate to business management, in order to devise a strategy and exploit current and future opportunities within particular contexts.
On completion of this programme, students will be able to:
Demonstrate detailed knowledge and a systematic understanding of the key issues involved with the management of a range of business functions including accounting and finance, marketing and human resources.
Apply a variety of conceptual frameworks and tools to analyse critically complex problems that occur within business organisations in changing environments, and develop and/or appraise business policies and strategies, including those about sustainability, to meet stakeholder interests.
Appraise the role of data management and business intelligence within an organisation and how the management and exploitation of information support and impacts the functional business areas and competitive advantage.
Demonstrate entrepreneurial skills, self-motivation and analytical abilities through an investigation of specific business problems and opportunities, and the production.
Why choose this course?
Students who wish to study this programme may come from a wide variety of subject backgrounds, including, but not necessarily business management. This programme suits those who prefer to learn a broad repertoire of business skills, rather than focusing on one specialism.
This involves learning core business skills relating to, for example, marketing, human resources, information systems/e-Business, accounting and finance. Students would undertake a range of tasks associated with business organisations and would enjoy developing sophisticated solutions to business problems and opportunities.
Given the broad range of skills learned, graduates would have many career opportunities in a diverse range of business roles (e.g. marketing, HR, project management, etc.) in a wide range of sectors. This programme is also suitable as a stepping stone for those who wish to develop a specialism after a general business education, for those who wish to become business teachers or as a route to self-employment.
Specialist pathway options available at level 6 include:
• BA (Hons) Business Management (Accounting & Finance)
• BA (Hons) Business Management (Marketing)
• BA (Hons) Business Management (Business Analytics)
• BA (Hons) Business Management (Human Resources)
This course is available to apply as a weekday or weekend study option.
