Good business management is at the centre of every successful organisation.

The second year of the BA degree programme, you will build on the sound knowledge gained at level 4 and support the advancement of the students’ knowledge of the corporate and specific subject area frameworks within which business operates. You will be able to extend their knowledge and critical understanding of the range of disciplines associated with contemporary management in human resource systems, accounting, digital business, entrepreneurship and international business.
