Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: N20M

Here's what Coventry University says about its Business Management and Leadership course.

Running your own business can be challenging and rewarding. It requires a strong sense of entrepreneurship, determination and the ability to handle managerial responsibilities.

Our Business Management and Leadership Higher National Diploma (HND) course is designed to help you develop key skills, from managing people, projects and resources to strategic leadership within the UK and internationally.

The Business Management and Leadership HND focuses on contemporary management issues, giving you the opportunity to develop a wealth of skills needed to aid progression from an operational level through to a leadership role within any organisation.

Upon graduation, you should be able to demonstrate understanding and knowledge of the theoretical, analytical and practical aspects of management strategies and processes within a changing environment to meet stakeholder interests. This should prepare you to work within small and large companies around the world.

This HND follows the curriculum for Years 1 and 2 of the Business Management and Leadership (Hons) degree course. Your first year focuses on the organisational environment and decision-making processes at junior management level. You’ll cover a broad range of topics from core concepts of current management and organisational behaviour to the fundamentals of business policy, marketing and strategy. The focus of your second year falls upon specialised areas such as financial management, entrepreneurship and the development of business practices.

literally the biggest waste of time and money. all the good courses are full so good luck getting a place, all the arts courses are extremely underfunded and extremely politically charged. I've met multiple young people like me who have multiple jobs. wasted 36k, just get an apprenticeship
