BSc Business and Management with Placement Year
About this course
Business and management at degree level develops the analytical, technical, and interpersonal skills that are needed in almost every professional context where organisations need to be directed, resources allocated, and decisions made under uncertainty. It draws on economics, psychology, finance, and strategic theory to build a rounded understanding of how commercial and public organisations work and what makes them effective or ineffective.
