Business Management with a Year in Industry

UCAS code: N20N

Here's what University of East Anglia says about its Business Management with a Year in Industry course.

Overview

Numbers are vital to business, of course, but even more vital are the people involved. Our Business Management degree will give you the analytical tools that drive business strategy as well as the influencing and team building skills required to develop a successful business. On this course, you’ll become adept at this difficult balancing act, a skill that is highly prized in the business world.

At UEA, we focus on evidence-based management, so you'll learn to pose questions and challenge assumptions and use evidence to make your own decisions and back them up. You'll develop quantitative and qualitative skills, learning how to deal with numbers and accounts, and how to interpret statistics, as well as how to manage people and resources. You’ll also gain experience working with others and presenting your findings and ideas. This is great practice for your career when you’ll need to not only develop solutions to problems but also persuade people of their validity.

Ours is a highly flexible programme which, after providing you with a solid first year foundation, gives you the freedom to specialise in those areas of business that interest you most. There’s a great choice of subjects to focus on from marketing to talent development, from project management to law or entrepreneurship and many more. This course will deepen your overall business understanding at the same time as allowing you to keep your options open, until you choose where to focus.

Norwich Business School is a friendly and supportive school, with a lively and international cohort. You're in a region that’s safe and welcoming, with a thriving business innovation and enterprise community.

Our business school was ranked 14th overall for research quality in Business and Management Studies in the Times Higher Education REF 2021 Analysis.

After completing this degree, you’ll have all the skills you need to join any business, large or small. Your combination of business acumen and interpersonal skills will make you a desirable addition to any team. You might work in marketing for a multinational corporation, or use your drive in the human resources department of a lively start-up. You might even decide to start your own business. No matter what path you embark upon, the skills you learn during your business management degree at UEA will support you throughout your career.
