Business Management (Major, Joint or Minor)

Campus: Docklands

Why Study Business Management as part of a Combined Honours Degree?

All Business Management modules provide a broad understanding of Business and Management practises and an appreciation of the context of which they arise and take effect. There are specialist pathways available which have got opportunities to gain knowledge and experience relevant to particular management specialisms or to international business practice.

If you are interested in studying

International issues
How a marketing plan is developed
The methods used to establish competitive strategy
Applying ideas based in Psychology and Sociology in a business setting
How organisations account for their activities

Then you will find a Business Management Combined degree interesting, stimulating and helpful in developing your career.
