Business Management
Business Management degrees
Our Business Management degrees are designed to immerse you in the reality of the commercial world. Our unique two-year accelerated degree enables you to develop the confidence and mindset required to launch a business or drive change within an established organisation.
We focus on relevant skills for the modern workplace. You will move beyond theory to master the skills that employers genuinely value today. Our curriculum focuses on high-demand areas including entrepreneurial thinking, artificial intelligence, global strategy, sustainability and big data analytics.
We also believe in authentic assessment. That’s why we abolished exams for business students. We believe your degree should reflect the work you will do in your career. In a modern office, you will not be asked to sit in silence and write an essay from memory. Instead, you are asked to write reports, deliver presentations, analyse data and debate strategy.
That is why we have removed traditional exams from our Business Management programmes (except for accounting modules where professional bodies require them). We assess you precisely as a future employer would: through reports, pitches and discussions. You will graduate with a portfolio of practical work, not just a transcript of grades.
This approach works. Data from Discover Uni shows that over 90% of our students move into employment or further study. Furthermore, we consistently achieve exceptional feedback from our students, including 100% positive ratings for our teaching quality.
