BA Business Management and Finance
About this course
Business management and finance is a degree that combines the broad commercial and organisational knowledge of business management with the technical and analytical depth of finance, producing graduates who understand both how organisations are run and how they account for and deploy their financial resources. The combination is highly practical and directly relevant to the roles that graduates most commonly seek, from management positions in commercial organisations to specialist roles in financial planning, analysis, and decision-making. At the University of Chichester, this three-year full-time programme gives you a strong understanding of the crucial factors within the business sector alongside in-depth knowledge of the key aspects of accounting and finance. You will develop your skills in strategy, marketing, operations, and organisational management alongside financial analysis, budgeting, reporting, and investment thinking. The programme includes a sandwich placement year and work placement opportunities, giving you direct professional experience in a business or financial environment before you graduate and helping you build the connections and practical knowledge that employers value. Graduates from business management and finance go on to work in commercial management, financial analysis, banking, consultancy, operations, marketing, and the many roles in business where financial literacy and management competence together are expected. The combination of business and finance skills is particularly well regarded in roles that require graduates to bridge the gap between strategic thinking and financial reality, including management consultancy, financial management, and business development. Many graduates also pursue professional qualifications alongside early employment, and postgraduate study in business administration, finance, or a specialist management area is a natural next step for those who want to develop further.
