Benefit from expert guest speakers, study placements/visits, and work on real case studies and projects. You will be well equipped for a career in management or starting your own business.

Course modules

Throughout this three-year course, you'll be introduced to a variety of topics that are fundamental to the running of any business. You'll gain a crucial understanding of the wider context that businesses operate in, whether economic, technological, or social. The first year introduces you to essential business knowledge by covering key topics such as marketing, business intelligence, and professional development. At the end of the first year, you'll understand how organisations function through their staff, through data analysis, and their relationship with the wider, global economy.

The second year builds on this basis by covering specific topics across management, including business law, finance, and project management. This is complemented by modules that introduce an ethical framework for business, looking at corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability in particular.

In the final year of the business management programme, you'll apply these core building blocks of business in practical projects – a management report and dissertation - as well as through modules that address wider questions about entrepreneurship and the changing nature of business in the 21st century. At the end of your business management degree, you'll not only have a practical understanding of how businesses operate on a day-to-day basis but also a deeper awareness of the role that businesses play in society and the professional tools to enter a managerial career or start your own business.

NOTE: Modules are subject to change. For those studying part time courses the modules may vary.

How you'll learn

We pride ourselves on giving our business students a fantastic experience and great support from day one. We're an inclusive university with a close-knit community of students and our teaching reflects that.

Guided independent study

When not attending timetabled lectures or workshops, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will typically involve skills development through online study, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, and preparing coursework assignments and presentations.

Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, and specialist facilities, such as edit suites, the library, the full Microsoft Office software, including MS Teams, and Moodle: our Virtual Learning Environment.

Academic support

If you need a bit of extra help with certain skills such as academic writing, English, maths, or statistics, our Academic Tutors offer workshops, drop-in sessions, and one-to-one appointments to help our students achieve their potential. 

You can receive advice and guidance on all aspects of the IT systems provided by the university from our IT Service Desks located on all three campuses.

What our students and staff say

A group of students speaking with an academic in a classroom
Commencing a 3-year BSc was quite daunting. However, within my first semester, most of my worries dissipated as I saw the immense opportunities UEL had to offer. I got selected for a two-year AWS programme, completed a summer role at PwC, and secured a full-time role at an investment firm months before graduation. “

Business Management Entrepreneurship and Finance hero image
Confronting ethical dilemmas in business and understanding the implications of choices can be a moment of moral growth and professional development and that’s what business management is all about. The opportunity to work with real clients on a consultancy project was one of the momentous experiences, and this enabled me to get the feel of what the work environment will be like."
