A set of distinctive compulsory modules in year 1 will introduce you to modern business and management practice. These modules will enable you to explore business from an interdisciplinary perspective.

You'll look at areas including business analytics, management accounting, and the ideas and technologies that have shaped the business world.

You'll be introduced to key aspects of entrepreneurship this year. Compulsory modules cover topics such as entrepreneurial management, international entrepreneurship, new venture development and managing high-growth businesses.

You can adapt your course to your own interests or career goals by choosing from optional modules exploring areas such as operations management and management accounting.

You'll take part in a mandatory study abroad year in year 3. This takes place at one of our International partner HE Institutions, which have been selected to reflect excellent reputation in education.

You will be taught in English but may choose to study a language in Year 2 of your programme to allow for better communication whilst studying abroad.  You will be provided with an International Student Placement Handbook, which will detail the full regulations regarding the placement. 

The study abroad is an assessed component of your programme, which means you are required to pass the equivalent of 45ECTS/90CATS in order to pass the year of study abroad. 

Any marks achieved whist on the year abroad are not used in the calculation of the degree classification, although the Year Abroad must be passed to be awarded the programme with Study Abroad. If you do not pass this component you will be transferred onto the 3 year programme. 

In your final year you'll carry out independent research to produce a dissertation on a topic of your choice, with support from an academic supervisor.

Further compulsory and optional modules will allow you to expand your business expertise. You'll even have the chance to develop your own business plan and pitch to experienced entrepreneurs.
