Business Management & Economics with Professional Placement

The BSc (Hons) in Business Management & Economics course covers a wide range of theoretical and analytical subjects, as well as methods for analysing real-world corporate and economic challenges. Business management and economic skills are interwoven, and you will gain knowledge that will help you comprehend and critically assess business, finance, marketing, and accounting methods. Modules are taught by trained academics and industry practitioners. Academic staff are equipped with information, expertise, and resources to support your study. Modules are designed to improve your employability skills, graduation qualities, teamwork, and leadership abilities. Modules are graded on a mix of knowledge and abilities via tests, homework, and presentations. You will improve your interpersonal and critical thinking skills whilst being both challenged and supported throughout your degree. We are one of the few universities in the UK offering direct use of Bloomberg data, information and analytics in a dedicated trading room which provides a simulation of what it’s like to work on a real trading floor in the financial district.

You will have the opportunity to undertake a Professional Placement as an optional part of your degree. You will spend the third year of a four-year degree in a full-time, paid work placement with an employer, or you can apply to study for a Year Abroad after the successful completion of your second year.
