The study of Business covers a wide range of fields and considers the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches and the challenges businesses face to achieve the objectives of their stakeholders (shareholders, consumers, government, and wider society).  Read more

The BSc (Hons) Business examines all aspects of business: management approaches, business structures, marketing, supply chains and operations management, and finance. Courses use case studies and examples drawn from a wide range of business types (from entrepreneurs to global corporations), to understand the varying ways businesses can operate and be managed. 

The curriculum includes courses in marketing, management, operations, finance, supply chain, innovation, fintech, statistics, global responsibility and sustainability. 

This degree programme combines a rigorous business syllabus with a personalised elective pathway. Students can choose to deepen their focus on business through their elective courses, or they can further contextualise and broaden their studies with courses that match other interests and goals.

Your learning experience

You will experience learning at the University through a combination of formats and class sizes. Some of our courses are delivered through a high number of scheduled teaching or ‘contact’ hours, while others focus on smaller, more personalised, guided independent study, or hands-on or community-based projects. Read more

Our academic staff selects the most appropriate pedagogy and contact hours for each individual course in order to support students to develop and succeed in their studies. This means that within your undergraduate Business degree you are likely to experience a combination of scheduled lectures, workshops, seminars and tutorials. The exact balance of these types of learning and number of contact hours will depend on the specific electives and optional courses you choose.

Most lectures and seminars will have a maximum of 40 student participants, while tutorials will typically have five or fewer students, and may sometimes be one-to-one. This personalised approach to teaching allows everyone to participate and thrive.
