BA (Hons) Business Management (Accelerated) at Nottingham Trent University

This course is designed to provide you with a broad range of knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to business and management that will enable you to excel in a wide range of jobs once you graduate.

This course allows you to learn more about the broad area of business and management and the specialist occupations such as marketing, operations management, human resource management and finance and so is readily adaptable and flexible to a wide range of business and management orientations.

Your first year of study will incorporate traditional modes of learning such as lectures and seminars, alongside business simulations, enterprise and project work, company projects and development plans and reports.

During the second half of your second year, you’ll complete modules predominantly through distance learning alongside working full-time.

You will attend study support days at NBS and will be supported face-to-face and at distance by tutors. You’ll have access to resources and feedback throughout and will be further supported by an academic mentor. When in-company, the majority of your assignments will be based on your own work, learning and development and the activities and practices of your placement company.

In Year Three you will return to Nottingham Business School and, in addition to core project and subject-based modules, you will be involved in mentoring first year students and running a student-led conference.

Through your internship, industry interventions such as guest lecturers, project work and national competitions, and a vocational curriculum, you will leave with practical skills to enhance your employability. Your practical experience and knowledge of the industry will prepare you for a career in business and management, consolidating your theory and understanding.

This course will prepare you for a wide variety of roles in business and management in the UK or internationally. Graduates build careers in specialist roles such as logistics, human resources, marketing and finance, as well as entering graduate training schemes in a range of multi-national organisations.
