About this course
Highly skilled management graduates are in big demand, and with the Degree in Business Management you’re gaining a professionally accredited qualification that will allow you to compete for the best roles.
To give you an even greater head start, the course has been co-created with employers and delivers ‘hands-on’ experience. A dynamic curriculum not only builds specialist leadership skills, but also develops an understanding of other key business disciplines to take your career to the next level. Business Management degrees provide the greatest variety of career routes in national and international organisations, both private and public, as well as in small and medium companies around the world. Some graduates also go on to start businesses themselves.

You have the choice of optional modules in Finance, Marketing or Human Resource Management.

Assessment methods
A wide range of skills are developed and assessed throughout this programme including communication, collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking.
Our approach to assessment combines authentic and conventional academic methods to ensure that you can develop a wide range of academic and transferable skills. Assessments are inclusively designed so that they enable you to contextualise your own experiences whilst allowing you to apply concepts, theories of business management.
Assessment methods typically include, but are not limited to:
• coursework reports, reviews and essays
• examinations (closed and open book)
• presentations
• dissertations and projects
Coursework
Coursework might range from written tasks and assignments to the collation of a portfolio of
evidence based around a work placement. Coursework differs from exams in that it is usually
non-timed and carried out independently.
Exam
Exams are formal, timed written assessments, carried out in a controlled environment and
overseen by one or more invigilators. They assess your grasp of the theory and underpinning
knowledge related to your chosen career area. The opposite of practicals, they require you to
set out your practical understanding within an academic context. Some courses have no exams
– the exam/coursework ratio is outlined below.
Practical
Practical assessments identify your technical ability to apply theory to hands-on tasks in your
chosen career area. They can be timed or non-timed and involve observation of your practical
skills and competencies, either in a work-based environment or a dedicated College setting that
closely resembles the workplace. Practical work-based assessments are supported and carried
out by a trained assessor.
