BA (Hons) Business Management

As you progress through the course, you can start to specialise in an area of business that interests you. Finance, HR, marketing, technology, sustainability – you won’t be short of options.

After your second year you can choose to progress to your final year or take an optional year out going on placement or studying abroad. Both are great options to get more experience. We’ll help you arrange everything and give you all the support you’ll need.

In your final year, you’ll complete a major project. This could be consulting for a real business (recently Manchester City FC, for example), offering your skills to a charity, or working with course-mates to set up a business. All three could lead to job opportunities – one recent graduate who was the sales director of her young enterprise business is now a regional sales manager at Ribena Lucozade.

The world of business is full of opportunties. So where do you start? This practical course will help you find your calling in international business with modules ranging from consultancy to enterprise.

BA (Hons) Business Management includes everything you could want from a business degree, from expertise in our research areas of sustainability, strategy, and enterprise to events like our leadership series of guest lectures. That’s why this course was the focus of our recent EQUIS accreditation. You can be certain it features every mark of quality a business school should aim to achieve.

Applied business skills

You’ll learn the theory behind what makes a successful business. We focus heavily on giving you the practical knowledge you’ll need for your career – whether that’s starting your own business or working your way up in a big corporation.

By the end of this course, you should be able to think strategically. You should have an entrepreneurial mindset. And you should have the skills to be a successful manager anywhere in the world.

The new sustainable business

Profits aren’t the only thing driving businesses. We believe you need to conduct business in a sustainable and ethical way to be an effective manager. Our values underpin everything we do here at Manchester Met.

In fact, you’ll live and breathe sustainability while you’re here, studying in the environmentally-friendly Business School. You’ll also get to work alongside the innovative startups at Innospace, surrounded by new ideas that are disrupting traditional ways of operating.
