BSc Business Management with Finance
About this course
Business management with finance is a combination that addresses two of the most fundamental concerns of any organisation: how to manage people, strategy, and operations effectively, and how to understand and control the financial flows that sustain and constrain everything an organisation does. Management provides the broad framework for understanding how businesses function, compete, and adapt, while finance develops the specific skills of financial analysis, accounting, investment appraisal, and the management of financial risk. Together they prepare graduates for a wide range of roles in which both commercial judgement and financial literacy are required. At the University of Brighton, this three-year full-time degree includes a foundation year, a sandwich year, and work placement opportunities. The foundation year provides a supported entry route for students who would benefit from additional preparation before the main degree content, while the sandwich year and placements give you structured professional experience in business or financial services environments alongside your studies. You will develop core management skills in strategy, marketing, human resources, and operations, alongside a rigorous grounding in financial accounting, management accounting, corporate finance, and financial markets. The placement experience is highly valued by employers and gives you the opportunity to apply academic learning in real professional settings before you graduate. Graduates of business management with finance programmes are well placed for careers in financial management, accounting, banking, investment, consulting, and general management. The dual competence in management and finance is valued across a wide range of sectors, and the sandwich placement provides direct professional experience that supports early career development. Further study options include professional accounting qualifications, MBA programmes, specialist master's degrees in finance or management, and postgraduate qualifications aligned to the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, and similar bodies.
