Business & Management

Why choose us?

We have been teaching courses in this area for over 35 years and have an excellent reputation. Our lecturers come from a variety of business and management backgrounds, and all have a wealth of experience to share with students. Regardless of which course you choose, you will study the main business disciplines and contemporary challenges facing businesses and organisations. There are also opportunities to specialise in areas of interest and significance to your career prospects and aspirations.

Our focus is on developing talent and equipping students with knowledge and skills for future careers as leaders and managers in a diverse range of professions, creating value for shareholders and society combined.

Many of our full-time taught undergraduate courses give you the chance to undertake a 30-week work placement. Our placement students have been recognised and rewarded for coming up with new product and process innovations, for saving their businesses and organisations money, for working effectively across borders and cultures, and for providing excellent service. Some students also take up the opportunity offered by certain courses to spend a semester abroad, a great way to increase your international understanding and employability.

What’s more, these courses are delivered by The Bournemouth University Business School, which is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, an accreditation held by fewer than 5% of the world’s business schools. The AACSB only accredits business schools that demonstrate an ability to provide the highestquality undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and this is one of many accreditations our courses have received from prestigious industry bodies, including the Association for Project Management, the Chartered Management Institute, and the Small Business Charter.

Our graduates are highly employable, having used the learning and other opportunities provided by their course to develop their personal brand and values and to network and extend their business contacts. Among the companies that graduates of Business and Management at BU work for are BAE Systems, GlaxoSmithKline, Disney, J.P. Morgan, Hewlett-Packard, Estée Lauder, Waitrose, Harrods, John Lewis, L’Oréal, Capita, Ipsos MORI, Dixons Carphone and Nationwide Building Society.
