Our Business Management and Economics (Top-up) degree is ideal if you already have a foundation degree (FdA / FdSC), Higher National Diploma (HND), years 1 and 2 of an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject at a different institution, or equivalent qualification in a relevant subject.
You will gain the analytical skills that will help you lead, innovate, and thrive in global, digital, and data-driven business environments.
You will combine business practice with quantitative and analytical skills, which top employers are looking for in the new digital era.
On this top-up course, you will develop a skill set founded on strategic management theory that allows you to become an active participant in the strategy process that organisations deploy to ensure their long-term success. You will gain a fundamental understanding of the factual content surrounding today’s challenges and how economics can be used to highlight major global problems and aid in designing effective policies.
In the transformation capstone module, you will have the opportunity to apply your academic knowledge in a real-world setting, where you will develop strategic solutions to real-world business challenges.
