In a post-pandemic world, now more than ever, the world is crying out for high-calibre leaders to pull us out of the darkness.
Studying Management, you will develop fine-tuned insight and vision in general management through a mixed study of business subjects and general management.
The Foundation Year aims to extend access to university education to students from a wide variety of educational backgrounds and age groups and prepares these students for our three or four-year degrees. On successful completion of your Foundation Year, you move on to the first year of our BSc (Hons) programme, with the option to undertake a Year Abroad or Year in Industry as part of your course.
You experience management in action through hands-on experience via in-class live case studies from our visiting industry experts, enterprise challenges and company visits. You also have an opportunity to gain entrepreneurial skills to accelerate your innovative thinking.
In your final year of study choose either a specialism in Business Analytics or People Management depending on the direction you wish to take. You will also have the opportunity to gain the Chartered Management Institute’s (CMI) Level 5 Professional Qualification in Management and Leadership alongside your degree.
