BA Hons Business Management

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Manchester Metropolitan University

Program Overview

The course is designed to be flexible, offering you the choice of studying full-time for 3 years, or extending it to 4 years with a placement or even a year abroad. It dives into essential business topics like sustainability, strategy, and enterprise, blending theoretical knowledge with practical skills that are crucial for a successful career in business. You can also specialize in areas such as finance, HR, marketing, technology, or sustainability.

Some standout features include triple accreditation from EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA, which boosts your employability through opportunities like internships and volunteering. You also have the chance to study at prestigious institutions overseas.

The program comprises 360 credits, incorporating a variety of lectures, seminars, hands-on sessions, and independent study. Assessments will involve group work and presentations, and there are placement opportunities that provide real-world experience in professional settings.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

In their final year, students dive into a major project that could take many forms—like consulting for a real business (think Manchester City FC), lending their skills to a charity, or teaming up with classmates to launch a startup. These hands-on projects often open doors to job opportunities. For instance, one graduate who took on the role of sales director for her young enterprise is now thriving as a regional sales manager at Ribena Lucozade.

Placement options

  • The BA (Hons) Business Management degree offers a fantastic chance to spend a year gaining professional experience.
  • This not only helps students build essential skills but also gives them a clearer picture of how businesses function, proving they’re ready to step into the workforce.

Study abroad

  • Students have the option to spend up to a year studying overseas at a partner institution, whether in Europe or further afield.
  • Taking this leap in their third year enriches their cultural understanding, sharpens their language skills, and fosters personal growth—all of which can significantly enhance their career prospects. 
  • It highlights the adaptability and independence that employers really appreciate.

Working abroad

  • Gaining international work experience is a win-win: students develop professional skills in a real-world setting while immersing themselves in diverse cultures and perspectives. Whether it’s through a summer exchange, an internship, or a year-long international placement, this global experience can greatly boost their career opportunities.

Progression & Future Opportunities

If you're a student dreaming of launching your own business after graduation, you might want to check out the optional Business Creation module. This is a fantastic opportunity to start laying the groundwork for your business while still in school, connect with other budding entrepreneurs, and take part in events at the university's start-up hub, Innospace.

On top of that, you can join the Young Enterprise competition, where you’ll have the chance to set up and run your very own business.
