Specifically designed for students who may have already obtained a HND or equivalent qualification, a top up degree allows you to gain a full bachelor degree in less than year. On the BA (Hons) Business Studies degree you will examine business strategy and organisational learning and development. You can then tailor your studies to meet your career goals by completing a research project and choosing three modules from a wide range of options, which will include the specialist areas from your HND.

This business studies ‘top up’ is designed to further enhance your employability by adding to your existing portfolio of qualifications and skills. Topping up a HND qualification (or equivalent) provides you with a great base to pursue a career in business whilst also having the opportunity to gain access to various professional bodies in business.
