Course Overview

The program is designed for students who see themselves as future business professionals in any industry (private/public/voluntary). The program provides various opportunities to develop the knowledge and expertise required to be a successful manager in the industry. This course would suit students who are interested in developing business knowledge and management skills, who want a choice of subjects, and who want opportunities for work experience, study abroad, and enterprise. In levels 5 and 6 of the program, the students will be able to choose topics that specialize in the management areas that they want to study in more depth.

The degree will be of interest to 18-year-old school-leavers who have previously studied business at GCSE or A level or equivalent. Students of history, psychology, sociology, media, digital technology, and English will also find many aspects of the program relevance to these subjects. Mature students without formal qualifications, but with appropriate work experience, are also eligible to apply.

General Eligibility

Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements for the 3-year program, or those who do not feel fully prepared for a Level 4 course, will be considered for the 4-year program, including a Foundation Year.

It is expected that applicants to the 4-year program will be at least 18 years of age, and have undertaken either further study or work experience for at least 2 years beyond the compulsory secondary education (Level 2). They will possess a lower UCAS Tariff score than that required to join Level 4 of the 3-year BA (Hons) Degree program, but will normally have achieved 90 credits from a Level 3 qualification. Mature Students with no recent or advanced level qualifications will be assessed for entry based on their work experience and may be subject to interview.

Applicants will normally be interviewed, particularly where reassurance is required about their motivations, ambitions, and abilities, and to establish their potential to be a successful student at this level.
