About this course
We’ll equip you with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the complex, fast-moving world of modern business management.
You’ll work in real time with industry-standard Bloomberg data, developing the analytical expertise employers demand. You can also tailor your studies with specialist modules in financial reporting, management accounting and auditing.
If you choose our four-year course, you’ll have the opportunity to gain valuable real-world experience with organisations such as Sowerby LLP - applying your learning in a professional setting and building the experience that sets you apart at graduation.
Our Business School also holds independent accreditations (including AMBA and AACSB) that are held by fewer than 2% of the world’s 12,000 business programmes. That places us, and you, in an exclusive club.
Better still, these accreditations give you significant exemptions from essential exams. This means a faster route to professional qualifications, because you graduate already part-qualified – and you could start on a higher salary.
Together, we can make the world add up
Module options
Each year, you’ll study modules worth a certain number of credits, and you need 120 credits per year. Most modules are 20 credits – so you’ll study six modules each year. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more. In these cases, you’ll study fewer modules - but the number of credits will always add up to 120. Some modules are compulsory, some are optional, so you can build a course that’s right for you.
