Why choose this course?
This Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) course aims to develop competent managers who are capable of working in a contemporary international context. It provides a broad but comprehensive business and management programme with an international focus.
You can choose to follow either a three or four-year route, depending on whether you want to take a third-year study exchange abroad or a final year work placement. If you change your mind, you can switch routes before you start your third year.
Students who have completed two years of a similar course overseas can transfer to the final years of this degree. The final two years of the four-year route include the chance to undertake a placement in the UK.
What will you study?
In the first two years, you will study a broad range of business subjects, including:
- finance;
- marketing;
- human resource management;
- operations management;
- trends in the international business environment; and
- an optional foreign language.
You consolidate and enhance your studies in the third year, examining strategic management issues and studying an international business subject in depth. You may also be able to gain some knowledge and skills in management consultancy. You can choose to specialise in a particular business functional area through your choice of elective modules.
In the optional fourth year you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills to a real business organisation by undertaking a work placement. Building on this experience, you will develop an in-depth knowledge of a relevant business and management issue by writing a business administration management report.
All our business courses have a shared first year so you can easily transfer to the second year of a different course if your interests change.
