Whether you are interested in the private, public, charity, social enterprise or entrepreneurial industries, the course team understand what you need to thrive as a business professional.
From core subjects such as operations management, marketing, project management and strategic thinking, through to future-proof skills in enterprise, innovation and digital futures, you will do more than learn the theory – you will learn to apply it through a wide range of ‘real-world’ live briefs and events like international marketing week, where you can spend a week abroad getting hands on experience of international business challenges.
Networking events and guest talks from industry professionals will be your chance to build professional connections, while short- and longer-term work placements offer both academic credit and opportunities to apply your knowledge and skills in a work-based environment – proving to prospective employers that you are work-ready.
And we also offer extra qualifications and memberships on top of your honours degree, including:
The Chartered Management Institute’s L5 Diploma in Leadership and Management.
Project Management Qualification
Student membership of professional bodies
Potential for Foundation Chartered Manager and Student Membership status of the Chartered Management Institute
