Special features Accreditation by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) giving you a professionally recognised qualification (Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership) alongside your degree Throughout the course there is regular opportunity to engage with a range of practising managers, organisations, employers and entrepreneurs and take part in work related experiences and internships Year in industry All of our business students have the option of adding in a year in industry and / or a semester of studying abroad with one of our partners to their course. A year in industry gives students fantastic experience and is attractive to potential employers. This normally takes place after the second year of the course and extends the course duration by one year (15% of the standard tuition fee is chargeable). Study Abroad normally takes place for a semester of the second year of the course and doesn’t extend the course duration as credits achieved abroad count towards your degree. You don’t need to decide whether you would like to take either of these options until after you have started the course with us.
