Who is this programme for?
This pathway may interest school leavers, diploma holders and working professionals seeking an undergraduate business qualification. Your qualifications and previous study determine the entry route for which you can be considered.
Business knowledge and skills
The published Business Management degree emphasises the study of general business and management, alongside analysis and evaluation applied to real-world situations. The approved specification for your selected route confirms the modules and assessments.
People and leadership
Explore how teams are organised, how managers communicate and how organisations respond to change. Consider the relationship between individual behaviour, workplace culture and performance.
Marketing and customers
Understand why customer needs, market information and communication matter to business decisions. Consider how an organisation explains its value and responds to changes in demand.
Finance and operations
Build confidence in interpreting business information and understanding the resources required to deliver products and services. Practise comparing options using evidence and clear assumptions.
Strategy and responsible management
Consider an organisation’s objectives, its competitive environment and the implications of different decisions. Ethics and sustainability provide important perspectives when evaluating business choices.
Applying your learning
Business study can involve case analysis, reports, presentations and research-based activities. Ask admissions for the assessment methods that apply to your route. Use assignments to practise explaining an issue, evaluating evidence and recommending a defensible response.
Full-degree and progression routes
A full undergraduate route and a top-up route are different study pathways. If you hold a diploma or other higher-education qualification, request a review of its level, credits and subject content. Admission to a later stage is subject to approval and should be confirmed in your offer.
Career directions
Depending on your skills and experience, business study may support applications for roles in business operations, marketing, human resources, customer services, administration or business development. It can also help entrepreneurs evaluate and organise their own ventures.
Management roles usually require practical experience as well as qualifications. Build evidence of your skills through appropriate work, projects and professional development.
