Course overview
Business Management is a highly practical course that has been designed with the future in mind. Taking into consideration growing disciplines such as artificial intelligence, you will study several defined business areas that reflect the ever-changing needs of the market. These include modules such as Digital Transformation and Innovation in Business and Ethical and Responsible Leadership.
A Business Management degree at DMU can open up an exciting career path in a wide range of specialist areas such as project consulting, project management, and digital transformation. Employability is at the heart of our Business Management course. You will work on integrated case studies, which will give you the opportunity to hear from and gain insight into global brands such as Apple and Amazon. You will step away from the confines of your textbooks and apply your theoretical knowledge to practical business simulations set by executives from these global businesses.

Key features
- Gain real-time insights on the state of companies through integrated case studies and business simulations in our Global Strategic module.
- Benefit from our guest lecture series run by executives and CEO.
- Through block teaching, you will focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once. This means that you will be able to focus closely on each subject and absorb your learning material in more depth, whilst working more closely with your tutors and coursemates.
Teaching and assessments
You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, group work, and self-directed study. Assessment and how assessments are weighted are varied across modules. Assessment may include but is not limited to, portfolios of learning, essays, reports, presentations, or exams. Our assessment practices reflect the best practices in teaching methods deployed by the academic members of staff each year. Indicative assessment weighting and assessment type per module are shown as part of the module information. Again, these are based on the current academic session.
