The Course

Our accelerated degree condenses three years of study into two years. This course is ideal if you want a quick pathway to a career in business management, and to potentially save money along the way.

You will learn the concepts and practice of business management around the world, but you’ll also learn how to meet your own objectives such as starting a business. We’ll help you achieve this by teaching real-life business situations and case study analysis, as well as hosting discussions with guest speakers. Other modules include digital marketing, corporate risk management and sustainability in business.

  • You will get a  chance to become a member of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
  • You can get access to hundreds of CMI learning materials to support your studies and career aspirations.

Teaching and Learning

Throughout your studies you’ll be taught via three methods: lectures, workshops and seminars. The exact format will depend on the modules studied, but you can expect a variety of all three.

Assessments come in a mix of formats, also depending on your chosen options. These include essays, portfolios, exams, reports, group presentation and case studies.

Assessments play a big part in your degree – they are key indicators in measuring your own success, as well as showing your progress to your tutors. If your grades are not as expected, we’ll offer the correct support to ensure improvement.
We constantly monitor assessment results and feedback to make sure our teaching is effective. We adapt our teaching and learning methods to suit our students, offering you a high quality and stimulating educational experience.
