Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Business Management

This degree has been created with employability in mind. It prepares students for work by developing the knowledge they need and combines it with the skills required to meet the business and management needs of any organization. By going beyond the classroom and using extra-curricular activities such as international competitions like the IBM Business Challenge, students will be furnished with a greater understanding of the complexities of business management. Even in the first year, students will be providing national organizations – Guide Dogs for the Blind and the Scottish Blood Transfusion Service, for instance – with solutions to contemporary and real-world business problems. Students are asked to come up with solutions to real business problems set by organizations from a range of business sectors, including food and drink, banking, textiles, and telecoms. Working in small teams, students have to apply their studies to practical problems currently being faced by those businesses, before pitching their solution back to the company.
