Business Management with Analytics | BA (Hons) at Leeds Beckett University

Course Details

Gain valuable insights into business planning and forecasting together with proficiency in the field of business management. Your course will develop your broader business knowledge along with expert skills in analytics and you will put theory into practice by taking part in a live business consultancy project working with companies, charities or not-for-profit organisations, boosting your employability and career options when you graduate.

This course offers the opportunity to take a ‘sandwich’ year – a year of paid employment in industry which will build your skills and experience. This is usually taken between the second and third year of your degree, typically making your course four years in total. Students who choose the sandwich route find it helps with both their studies and getting a job after graduation. It can build your confidence, contacts, and of course your CV. Leeds Beckett advertise lots of placement opportunities and provide support in helping you find the right placement for you.
