Business and Management Major/Minor Honours

You may wish to combine the study of business and management with another discipline, for example Politics or a science, or with a second language, such as French.  For students wanting this type of degree, the School of Management and Business also offers combined degree schemes: Business Major and Joint honours. The Joint honours programmes are equally balanced between two subject disciplines, e.g. Business and Management “and” French and in the Business Major the associated minor subject accounts for approximately one third of the study time, e.g. Business and Management “with” French.

Each degree scheme is made up of core and option modules, which lets you develop your degree programme to match your interests and objectives. The flexibility of a modular degree scheme allows you to focus on areas of interest within your chosen programme. By using case-study analysis, project work and simulation activities you will develop a good understanding of the tools and techniques that managers use in developing practical solutions. You will also develop the skills to analyse management issues in relation to company priorities, external factors and current perceptions of “good practice”.

All of our degree programmes offer you the opportunity to go on the Year in Employment Scheme (YES) programme and gain valuable practical experience in a real business environment. Our Exchange and Erasmus programmes also give you the opportunity to study at a university in Europe and North America; this has proved to be a real advantage for our graduates when first entering the job market.

Your degree will provide a sound foundation in business principles and practices and provides a strong base of knowledge that will be a valuable asset in more advanced education, if further studies are desired.
