UK Business and Management Courses

Introduction to Business and Management

A Business and Management degree focuses on the planning, running and operations of an organization. Students will look at each part of a business, including areas such as finance, marketing, human resources and administration, and many Business and Management programs offer placements with globally recognized companies, enabling you to experience firsthand what the profession involves. 

Most Business and Management courses have a shared program of study in the first year before students choose their own path in the second year of study. Once the degree is completed, key skills in market knowledge, finance, managing of people, strategy and data will help you move forward with your career.
