Business Studies BA / BSc (Hons)

What is this Business Studies degree about?...

By taking a degree in Business Studies, you will develop a broad understanding of business organisations. You will understand how businesses develop strategies, take decisions, organise their internal resources, and manage risk and uncertainty.  

Business and marketing case studies form an integral part of many of the modules, especially during the later stages of your Business Studies degree programme. In a case study, information is presented about a firm’s products, markets, financial structure, human resources and other factors that may influence its success. During your Business Studies degree you will discuss and analyse strategies and actions that the firm should take in the future.

Your degree in Business Studies will provide insights and expertise in specific business functions such as marketing, human resource management, accounting and finance. You will study specialised topics such as entrepreneurship and international business. You will also develop awareness of the wider environment in which businesses operate, by studying subjects such as business economics and business law.
