The degree starts with core courses in business theory. These will give you a solid grasp of business fundamentals such as international business; economics, accounting and business intelligence.

You will then move into your management specialisation where you'll develop technical, analytical and practical skills in areas such as:

• international management ethics and values
• organisational leadership and behaviour

Business management graduates go on to work in a myriad of different sectors. Depending on your area of expertise, you'll have the option to choose to specialise in specific areas such as marketing, finance, accounting, event management or business consultancy. You'll be able to pursue roles within SMEs (small-to-medium-sized enterprises), innovative new start-ups, charities, not-for-profit organisations - or even launch your own business.
