At the undergraduate level, you can choose from a wide range of business courses. You can specialise in marketing, business economics, human resources, or accounting and finance.

You can also focus on international business management, or combine your business studies degree with a minor subject such as entrepreneurship or finance. If you don’t have the right qualifications for your chosen business degree, you may be able to complete a foundation year as part of a four-year course. See the applicable course page for further information.

Likewise if you do not have the qualifications and/or experience required for your chosen postgraduate degree, you may have the option to complete an extended master’s programme, which takes place over 15 months and includes two introductory modules.

Many of our courses are available part-time, including our Business Studies degree and MBA, enabling you to combine your studies with work or other commitments. Browse to a course that interests you to see all of your study options.

Depending on the course you choose, your qualification can open the door to a range of exciting and rewarding careers, from business management jobs to business analyst jobs. First roles for graduates often include:

• junior manager
• salesperson
• administrator
• market researcher
• human resources assistant
• data analyst
• marketing assistant.

With a postgraduate degree such as an MBA, you could decide to set up your own business, progress to senior management, or start over in a fresh sector that interests you.
