Programme structure

Programme Year One

The first year aims to introduce students both to the problems of business in the modern world and to the subjects that will help in understanding and solving these problems. The core modules introduce students to the economic context of business, to key quantitative techniques and to Accounting and Finance. In addition, students study the organisational and behavioural context of business and develop their IT skills.

Programme Year Two

The second year builds on the foundation of the first year by introducing an international dimension and a specialist law module. A wide range of options may be studied to broaden understanding of contemporary business issues. Students undertake a careers-oriented module during the first semester, which prepares them for their year in industry.

Programme Year Three

The third year of the programme is spent on placement. Students will complete a year-long graduate-level placement, which will provide them with valuable work experience and an opportunity to further enhance the skills and attributes sought after by top employers. Students may apply for UK-based placements, or seek overseas placements or a role at Suzhou Business Park, China. Students will be visited at least twice by University staff whilst on placement and will complete placement-related assessments in May.

Programme Year Four

The final year consolidates knowledge and understanding of management through a much greater degree of personal study and research and modules that probe more deeply into contemporary issues.
