Business Management (Marketing) with a Professional Placement

Our four-year BSc Business Management programmes share a generic first year, during which you will take seven compulsory modules from across the range of business disciplines, providing a broad understanding of business and management contexts and processes. This degree programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) for the CIM Dual Award. Students graduating successfully from Business Management (Marketing) are entitled to attain the CIM Professional Diploma in Marketing by studying for and passing two CIM assessments instead of the four normally required. The programme provides a similarly broad based underpinning and coverage of a range of business and management modules but as the programme progresses through year two to year three, it narrows its focus to marketing issues such as market research, advertising, marketing management and database marketing. It has been designed to reflect the significant changes in the field. Will also provide students with the necessary business management skills and knowledge, both theoretical and practical, through the professional placement year, to take on responsible positions early in a variety of careers in various sectors of industry and commerce, and in various functional areas within organisations.
