Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business Management and Leadership (Sandwich Year)

The BA (Hons) Business Management and Leadership course is designed to help develop key skills, from managing people, projects and resources to strategic leadership within the UK and internationally. The degree offers: • a focus on contemporary management issues, giving students the opportunity to develop a wealth of skills needed to aid progression from an operational level through to a leadership role within any organisation • opportunities to help them develop the required confidence, versatility and strategic thinking, coupled with elevated communication skills and a desire to succeed • the chance to conduct critical research with the experienced staff, learn from guest visitors and take part in invaluable practical modules.

This degree programme has been developed to allow modules to align to the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) qualification. Students who undertake the degree element of this course are provided with CMI membership for the duration of their programme and one year after graduating for free. Many areas of management and leadership, such as the development of new concepts and modern project management, require graduates to have good theoretical and practical knowledge to control, implement and evaluate new developments.

This varied degree aims to supply students with the skills and knowledge needed for successful entry into management. This is an applied course and recognises the multidisciplinary approach that is needed in business leadership. Throughout their degree, students will study the details of operating markets, information technology and leadership practice, demonstrating a capability to maintain auditable records of their work.
