At level one, students are encouraged to consider the basic principles of Business Management. You will be looking at a range of management roles and their impact upon not only the business success but also the local and national economy. Employee and customer experience will be considered from a wide range of perspectives.

At level two, students will have the opportunity to put their knowledge gained from the first year of study into practice. You will explore the impacts policy and decision making has upon organisations. Live case studies will allow you to research and understand management influence upon staff, customers and organisational growth.

At level three, students will be able to specialise more completely if they wish into their chosen area of specialism. You can research a dissertation of your choice to underpin career enhancement. Many students utilise their experience of Work Placement at the end of their second year to determine their choices at level three.
