This interdisciplinary Business Management and Geography BA programme offers a great opportunity to study two engaging subjects which will equip you with a diverse set of skills and knowledge to enhance your employability.
Within the business management component of the degree you will increase your understanding of management and how the modern business world needs individuals who can critically think about management, organisations and the people who are employed by them. You will be introduced to the key areas of international business such trade, investment and international management.
You will analyse human behaviour in organisations, organisational behaviour and explore the key concepts and issues in operations and quality management. You will examine business strategy and activities including a virtual business game simulation that will give you the opportunity to put the theory you've been learning on the course into practice.
Geography is uniquely positioned between the physical and social sciences enabling geographers to provide broad-ranging perspectives on a range of key societal challenges. The flexibility of our programme enables you to explore the full breadth and depth of this dynamic discipline.
The geography component of this programme enables you to explore the spatial interactions between human behaviours and society and the inter-relationships between the environment and political, economic and social forces. Our focus on climate change, global responsibility, sustainability, and the application of professional geographical skills to real-world situations will prepare you for a wide range of careers and for life as a responsible global citizen.
You'll undertake a range of geography modules which encourage you to consider themes such as space and society and practical human geography whilst having the flexibility to tailor your studies through our optional modules. As you progress on the course you will develop an appreciation of the dynamic and research-based nature of geography and will learn how to use geographical evidence to explain the spatial interactions between human behaviours and society.
Through the entire course you will have the opportunity to tailor your learning to your career aspirations or interests by choosing from a variety of optional modules. Topics range from accounting, digital marketing and communications and contemporary issues in management to health inequalities, rural geographies, people and the environment, and weather, climate and society.
