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.
On our flexible programme, you take a broad range of compulsory and optional modules in your first and second years. You then select from a variety of options in your final year of study.
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.
All students spend a year in industry in the UK or internationally, supported by a dedicated Employability and Placement teams.

For students taking one of the specialist pathways, our strategic partnerships provide opportunities for placements in specific areas. Unique to KBS, students can take a Self-Employed Placement year during which they develop their initial business idea into a feasible business plan. The ‘Selfie’ programme students are supported by an in-house entrepreneur who acts as their specialist mentor.
