Business Management HND

The Business Management is an innovative programme where teaching is based around live business projects, case studies, internships and work experience. The programme has been designed in consultation with industry experts, providing students with access to the latest leading academic knowledge and practical industry skills.

Course Overview

This course is for students wishing to excel in a career in Business and Management. The programme shares a common first year, during which you take a range of compulsory modules covering a number of business disciplines, providing a broad understanding of business and management. This allows you, as the student, to gain a good understanding of the principles across a range of subject areas whilst also providing the opportunity to specialise in a particular discipline (such as marketing, human resource, finance and accounting) if desired.

The programme has been developed in conjunction with employers to ensure the relevant employability skills are developed alongside the academic rigor of a degree programme.

The Business School has long established relationships with local and regional businesses to deliver a programme of integrated extracurricular activities. This provides our students with a range of contacts, opportunities and experiences that form part of the learning experience, but also allows students to develop their knowledge, skills and practical capabilities necessary for the transition into employment.

Career Opportunities

Our business degrees provide students with a broad range of skills that are sought after by a range of employers. Due to the flexible and broad nature of the programme graduates will be equipped to enter a range of industries and sectors including not of profit, public and private sectors. In 2015/1698% of graduates from the Business School were in employment and/or further study after six months.

The Business School offers students dedicate placement support with industry-specific advice being offered by discipline experts. Students will have the opportunity to undertake placements/internships as part of their degree programme and/or in addition to the taught modules. Opportunities to join the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Programmes of the associated industry bodies is also possible.
