Business Management (with Foundation Year)
Course overview
We bring Business and Management to life with inspiring and real experiences. As student Freya Brewis says: "The programmes content will provide the foundation of knowledge required for success in the business world...it provides the tools for you to stand out from every other student and to develop your understanding further.”
It’s a really competitive world in business today. We will equip you with much more than business knowledge. Your future employers are seeking skills that we develop with you. This means you leave us with experiences that should give you an edge at interview and in the workplace. We develop outstanding business professionals so that you, like Freya, can progress to a great career.
Here at Chester you can tailor your business management degree to suit your career. The four pathways are: Business Management (Entrepreneurship), Business Management (Human Resources), Business Management (Marketing) or Business Management (Finance).
We are accredited by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), the UKs top leadership and management qualifications specialist. This means that all students can achieve the ILM level 5 Award alongside their degree.
Why study this course with us?
Your transformation from new student to future business professional will begin from day one.
In your first year you will gain an understanding of the global business environment and develop fundamental management skills in marketing, people and organisations, finance and entrepreneurship.
In year two, you will translate this business knowledge into making key decisions and consider the different ways businesses operate around the world. You will also start to shape your career path by choosing an aspect of business and a work placement that suits your personal interests and ambitions.
You will also have an opportunity to undertake an additional year-long placement which really brings your course to life and may enhance your graduate employment prospects. You may even have a year studying Business and Management abroad in Europe, North America, Asia or Australasia.
Your final year is even more tailored towards giving you the competitive edge you need to enter the area of business you want. You will carry out an original supervised research project into a subject you select and complete a module designed to maximise individual professional success.
Most of what you study will be anchored to today’s business world but supporting you to challenge assumptions and make relevant management decisions. By referring to top companies and emerging sectors such as cognitive science, financial innovation and data analytics you will be well placed to focus and develop your career.
Our award winning business school is both state of the art and welcoming. This is a special and unique place that will enable you to flourish and grow from undergraduate student to confident business professional.
You are a name here. We value your uniqueness. Throughout your course, you will be mentored and supported by a Personal Tutor. These are people who will support you through life’s challenges. You will also benefit from our Student Experience Representatives. These are students who make sure that your voice is heard.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
