Modules
This course offers all students the option of a one-year paid work placement, to boost your employability even further. If you choose this route, you will take the placement following year two of your course, and then return to complete your degree.
Why take a placement?
A placement year is the perfect opportunity to gain valuable work experience, to build on the career skills we will teach you on this degree. The connections you make on the placement will improve your career prospects further, and equip you with the skills you need to secure graduate-level employment.
How we support you
The University's Placement and Work Experience Team are experts at helping you to secure a placement. They will work closely with you from the start, helping you research potential employers, discover placement opportunities, create and pitch your CV, and will coach you to perform well in interviews. We aren't able to guarantee a placement, but our sector-leading advisors will give you the best possible chance of securing one.
Find out more about how we'll support you
We understand that your plans might change once you start your programme. If you decide not to do a placement, you will have the option of completing the three year version of your programme.
Whatever your choice, you will have access to many opportunities for work experience through our Placement and Work Experience Team, and access to face-to-face and 24/7 online careers support.
This course is offered as a degree with foundation year – a four-year programme which provides an additional foundation year at the beginning of the degree, that will give you academic and practical experience, as well as the skills you need to ensure you are equipped to successfully complete your chosen degree.

Skills
Make your mark with the professional business skills that matter most to employers.
With our BSc Business Management and Economics you'll gain in-depth knowledge of organisations and their environments, including their relationships to society. You'll explore key theories and concepts in economics and their application in international business.
You'll gain a solid understanding of:
- Managing people, operations, logistics, marketing and business ethics
- How businesses operate in a multicultural environment
- Organisational behaviour
You’ll learn how to identify and solve problems and to communicate your ideas with impact. We’ll also help you to increase your employability through annual Business Readiness modules.
As your project management and leadership skills grow, you’ll develop the commercial acumen, emotional intelligence, and self-reflection you need to realise your goals.
And you can put these skills into practice with an optional work placement after Year 2. Fully supported by our Placement Office, this is a chance to gain real-world experience before you graduate and get paid while you make valuable connections.
An accredited programme
Please note: this course is dual accredited with a Chartered Management Institute (CMI) qualification.

You'll be assessed using a wide range of theory and practical assessments that replicate the world of business today. This includes coursework, reports, exams (on Accountancy and Finance modules only) and online tests.
