The world of Business Management is fast-moving and dynamic: Business organisations are facing unprecedented change and complex challenges both within the UK and globally. This demands that students who enter the business sector understand the dynamics of the business environment and how organisations operate in increasingly uncertain situations. The Business Management degree at Liverpool Hope University examines small to medium-sized enterprises to global multi-national companies – public, private, not-for-profit with a focus on business principles, organisational dynamics and management processes.
Liverpool Hope Business School holds the prestigious AACSB accreditation and has an enviable reputation for developing students with sound theoretical principles, thorough understanding of contemporary business practices and informed by the latest research. The links this University has with local and national businesses, plus links with professional bodies, ensures students are well prepared for the world of work.
This in-depth degree gives students the opportunity to understand how businesses operate and the ethical and social impact they have on communities. An experienced, student-focused team will develop their understanding of this business context and develop the critical business skills and transferable skills that future employers will demand.
A unique feature of this Business Management programme is that all second year students take part in the YE (Young Enterprise) programme. This is the integrating element for the second year, which stitches together all the parts of the curriculum. Every student is allocated to a business start-up team, where they work in a group to set up and run a legal new business venture. Thus, it provides students with practical experience of the process of starting a 'real life' business. Many students comment that YE was the favourite and most valuable aspect of their degree in Business Management.
