Numbers are vital to business, of course, but even more vital are the people involved. Our Business Management with a Year in Industry degree will give you the analytical tools that drive business strategy as well as the influencing and team building skills required to develop a successful business. On this course, you’ll become adept at this difficult balancing act, a skill that is highly prized in the business world.
At UEA, we focus on evidence-based management, so you'll learn to pose questions and challenge assumptions and use evidence to make your own decisions and back them up. You'll develop quantitative and qualitative skills, learning how to deal with numbers and accounts, and how to interpret statistics, as well as how to manage people and resources. You’ll also gain experience working with others and presenting your findings and ideas. This is great practice for your career when you’ll need to not only develop solutions to problems but also persuade people of their validity.
Ours is a highly flexible programme which, after providing you with a solid first year foundation, gives you the freedom to specialise in those areas of business that interest you most. There’s a great choice of subjects to focus on from marketing to talent development, from project management to law or entrepreneurship and many more. This course will deepen your overall business understanding at the same time as allowing you to keep your options open, until you choose where to focus. This version of the course also gives you a year in industry, providing you with invaluable real-world experience in business management.
