View video transcript

0:000 Studying business at BCU is all about innovation, modernity, and real world impact. Our courses give you the skills, knowledge, and experience to thrive in today's fast-paced business world. Two pillars run through every program.

0:1616 Entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence. Entrepreneurship teaches you to spot opportunities, evaluate ideas, and take action. Whether you want to start your own business or innovate within an existing company, these skills are essential. AI is transforming business from forecasting the future to optimizing today. We give you practical experience applying AI and data analytics in real world business scenarios, bridging business and technology. We bring learning to life with real world projects, industry standard tools, and live clients, giving you hands-on experience while you study. The steamhouse supports entrepreneurial students with tailored services. The incubator helps shape ideas while the hatchery offers mentoring, consultancy, and financial support to get your business off the ground. Employability is the core of every course with human resource management courses also CIPD accredited. Placement opportunities, local business links, and weekly workshops ensure you graduate with practical skills and confidence for your career. At BCU, you don't just get a degree. You gain the knowledge, experience, and mindset to make your mark in business.

Our BA (Hons) Business Management degree offers practical-based learning resulting in knowledge and skills which prepare you for a variety of career paths within the innovative and ever-evolving world of business.

You will gain specialist knowledge on a number of core functions of business and management, building your self-confidence to prepare you for a progressive and successful career in a wide variety of roles including business consultation, government work or even starting your own business.

Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, employability and sustainability are key fundamentals of this course as you prepare for a career in the modern business environment. These skills will develop you as an innovative businessperson able to be agile and flexible in an ever-changing environment.

Our Assessment Centre replicates those used by major corporations to prepare you to compete for the very best employment opportunities immediately after you graduate by providing you with the tools for successful and efficient CV building, interview prep and psychometric testing.

If you’re interested to starting and/or running your own business, you’ll also be given the knowledge and tools to do this due to our focus on entrepreneurial skills in both specific modules and our business incubator and mentorship offerings through STEAMhouse.

The January entry for this course is condensed in Year 1. Please see the ‘Fees and How to Apply’ section below for more details.

What's covered in this course?

Using interactive and experiential learning methods, such as simulations and work with real-world business clients, you will gain an understanding of negotiation, data gathering and analysis, project and team leadership and how to navigate the business environment.

You’ll also study the development and operation of contemporary and international business markets alongside the management of key business activities from human capital and finance to strategic planning and cultural awareness. You’ll gain an important insight into digital business exploring how emerging technologies such as AI remodel the business world and consider the accompanying issues around social responsibility and ethical behaviour.

Professional Placement year

This course offers an optional professional placement year. This allows you to spend a whole year with an employer, following successful completion of your second year, and is a great way to find out more about your chosen career. Some students even return to the same employers after completing their studies.

If you choose to pursue a placement year, you will need to find a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional, and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you are able to secure a placement, you can request to be transferred to the placement version of the course.

Please note that fees are payable during your placement year, equivalent to 20% of the total full-time course fee for that year.

Why Choose Us?

We have a strong focus on employability and through placement opportunities and our links with local businesses, we aim to ensure you graduate not only with your degree but also with the skills and knowledge needed to embark on your chosen career.

Through our Assessment Centres, you'll get support in preparing your CV and interviewing techniques as well as the kinds of employment tests and tasks modern businesses put potential recruits through such as psychometric testing.

The STEAMhouse offers amazing opportunities for entrepreneurial students to kick start and build a business. Services available include the Incubator which helps focus and solidify business ideas and the Hatchery which offers support in getting your business off the ground.

This course opens up a variety of career paths from working for large corporations, smaller enterprises, charity sector, local and national government, consultation roles or setting up your very own business.

We aim to infuse learning with exposure to real-world experiences. We give students the chance to work on real-life projects using industry-standard software and with real-world clients where possible, offering a unique opportunity for students to gain this invaluable experience while they study.

I AM BCU: Jivan Powell

Business & Management BA (Hons), Management & Entrepreneurship MSc

Jivan always knew he wanted to run his own business, he just didn’t know what it would look like yet. During his time at BCU, that vision began to take shape. After studying Business and Management and later completing a Master’s in Entrepreneurship and Management, he graduated with a clearer sense of purpose. A few years later, he turned an idea sparked during the pandemic into an award-winning company, and it all started at BCU.

January entry

The January entry point for this course is run as a condensed programme in the first year. This means that if you choose the January option, you’ll start your course in January and finish your first year in August. Following successful completion of Year 1, you will progress onto Year 2 in September and start subsequent years of your course in September, completing your degree at the same time as people who started the course in September.

Please note that this course is not available for advanced entry in January due to the condensed delivery model. If you wish to join the course in year 2 or year 3, you will need to start your studies in September; please apply for the September intake and select the year you wish to apply for as part of your application.

Important information about Student Finance for January starters

If you start this course in January, your Student Finance payments (maintenance loan and tuition fee loan) will follow the January payment schedule for the whole duration of your course. This means your payments will be made in January, April and September each year, even though your first year of study runs from January to August. You will progress into Year 2 alongside the September cohort, but your funding will continue to follow the January cycle.

Tuition fee payments made to the University will also be aligned to this schedule, so your student account may look different from those who started in September. This does not affect your eligibility for Student Finance, but it is important to plan your budget with these payment dates in mind. If you have any questions, please contact our Fees and Funding Team.
