Program Description
At CU Scarborough, the Business Management & Leadership BA (Hons) degree is designed to help students establish key leadership skills, from managing people and resources to strategic planning. This course focuses on contemporary management issues, giving students the opportunity to develop a wealth of general skills needed to aid progression from an operational level through to leadership.
Success in this field requires confidence, versatility and strategic thinking, coupled with elevated communication skills and a desire to succeed. Alongside award winning teaching, students get the chance to conduct critical research with experienced staff, learn from highly-regarded guest visitors and take part in invaluable practical modules.
An optional placement or sandwich year after Year 2 gives students the chance to gain further insight into the industry or career they are seeking to follow, enabling them to apply their theoretical knowledge to the workplace. Students can also choose to take an optional year abroad between years two and three. If students decide to take advantage of a placement year this version of the degree will help them acquire valuable work experience and gain an understanding of what employers seek in graduates. It is each student's responsibility to find a placement with an employer within their chosen sector. The careers and employability department, alongside the course team, will support students throughout the placement year.
Please note that placement or study abroad opportunities are not guaranteed and that any such opportunities referred to on this webpage may be subject to additional costs (e.g. travel, visas and accommodation etc.), competitive application, availability and/or meeting any applicable visa requirements.
