Subject

Business and management

Gain a comprehensive understanding of a range of core business topics, combining academic study with practical skill development. With a wide array of optional modules, you can specialise in an area of interest or keep your options open, gaining insight into a range of different disciplines.

**Expand your career options with a solid understanding of business and management disciplines and how they influence an organisation’s success.**

From a first year covering the essentials such as behaviour at work, accounting, quantitative methods, marketing and ethics, we expand your core knowledge and your possible career paths in year two, with optional modules that vary from the creative to the technical.

Whether you choose international marketing or organisational psychology, decision sciences or entrepreneurship, you’ll be taught by leaders in their fields using real-world examples – absorbing ideas invaluable to the modern workplace.

Later, you can choose to specialise in a particular area of business, or keep your options open. You’ll also have the option to take a flexible placement year between your second and third year, and of course make the most of our strong relationships with businesses and alumni – learning from, and networking with, professionals in a range of sectors.

As only a small number of students take courses in this subject area, there isn't much information on what graduates do when they finish, so bear that in mind when you review any stats. Management, finance and business roles are common, but it's a good idea to ask tutors what previous graduates taking specific courses went on to do when you're at an open day.
