Business Management spans the major operations and theories of business, covering the ability to produce a product or service, consumer behaviours, management of resources and understanding the impact of external environments and market situations. This programme offers a ‘bigger-picture’ approach and a high degree of flexibility, allowing you to study related business fields and focus on  specific  areas, such as, Human Resources Management, Marketing and Finance as you develop skills and knowledge. From September, 2012 these focus areas shall be alleviated to specialised degrees.

This programme offers the ideal base for a range of senior business roles, as well as, teaching skills invaluable in any career.
