BA (Hons) Business Studies

This course is ideal if you want a business degree that can lead to a wide range of careers. Business Studies has been Hertfordshire Business School’s flagship undergraduate program for over 50 years and continually evolves to meet current business and industry needs. The First Year gives you a solid foundation, while the Second and Final Years allow you to choose optional modules from across business disciplines including marketing, human resource management, finance, accounting, and management. You also have the opportunity to study a language. This course is aligned with several professional bodies for students to work towards achieving professional body recognition.

Study abroad

Today’s businesses operate in an increasingly global market. Even those based in the UK are influenced by international trends and events. Hertfordshire Business School’s BA Business Studies is taught by a highly regarded academic team with extensive international experience and their insights into global business practices have shaped every part of the course.

You’ll have the opportunity to add an even deeper international dimension to your BA by choosing optional language modules or studying abroad between your Second and Final Years in Europe, North America, or Asia.

Work placement

Practical experience can really make your CV stand out to potential employers and our BA Business Studies gives you the option of adding a year-long work placement to your degree.

You can either spend 12 months working for your placement company, or six months working and six months studying abroad at one of our partner universities. While you’re working, you’ll be paid by your employer.

In recent years, our students have gone on placements with Mitsubishi Electric, Walt Disney, Carphone Warehouse, and Toys R Us, taking on roles including the business administrator, HR assistant, department manager, and marketing and communications assistant.
