UCAS code: N190

Here's what Blackpool and the Fylde College says about its Business Management course.

With the Degree in Business Management you’re gaining a professionally accredited qualification that will allow you to compete for the best roles across a diverse range of industry sectors.

To give you an even greater head start, the course has been co-created with employers and delivers ‘hands-on’ experience. A dynamic curriculum not only builds specialist leadership skills, but also develops an understanding of other key business disciplines to take your career to the next level. Business Management degrees provide the greatest variety of career routes in national and international organisations, both private and public, as well as in small and medium companies around the world. Some graduates also go on to start businesses themselves.

Well-qualified management graduates are in high demand especially if your people and leadership skills are second to none. These skills are embedded throughout all modules within the course. You have the choice of optional modules in Finance, Marketing or Human Resource Management. You will also have the opportunity to further develop your specialism through the Work Based Learning and Dissertation modules.

Though the course is delivered in Blackpool, it’s actually awarded by Lancaster University, providing graduates with a top university qualification. And as if that wasn’t enough, the course also gives you an opportunity to gain a Chartered Management Institute (CMI) qualification in Leadership and Management.

You will be taught by our friendly, professional teaching team, all of whom benefit from extensive management experience to support your future success. But don’t just take our word for it: our student satisfaction rate is a phenomenal 100% and our graduates are now employed by blue-chip employers, such as BAE, Tesco and the NHS.
