Business Management BA Welcome Pack
Welcome to BA Business Management – January 2024.
BA (Hons) Business Management is a new course running in its third year. We have designed this new programme of study around key areas.
- Firstly examining what you need by the time you graduate to be a strong candidate in your chosen area of employment
- Secondly, provision of a programme that provides a strong level of business management education, and allows you to specialise in 6 subject areas to develop your individual interests and aspirations
- Thirdly, development of a strong learning community within the programme through teamwork and interactive learning, to help each learner to achieve their best
We have just finished the second year of the programme and our students have given us some great feedback. We have seen business ideas and planning that covers fashion, cars, food and much more. We have seen teams of students sharing the latest technology and how different technology is used in business by presenting to one another. We have seen skills being used, from TikTok ads to budget and cash flow forecast planning, to formal report writing….and this is just a snapshot.
Our intention is that you will feel like part of a course of study that allowing a supportive learning community to help you develop to be your best self for your future career.

No special equipment is needed; however, you will benefit from a laptop rather than a Chrome book. We provide software that you will need on the programme as you need it including Adobe Creative, Office 365 etc. Chromebook does not allow you to use all software provided, which may impact on your ability to fully engage with some aspects of the programme.
