The BA Business and Management (UCAS course code N10K) offers students a current and integrated business education covering the main disciplines and operational areas of business. The curriculum aims to challenge students in their ways of thinking, behaving and learning. Issues of ethics and ethical decision making, sustainability and global citizenship are embedded throughout. The programme actively seeks input from the external environment and student learning is grounded in the external context wherever appropriate through external speakers, assessments that require students to test out concepts in practice, and reflections on their own experience of organisations. Student achievement is supported by a clear personal development strand of transferable skills and ‘brain habits’ over all three levels that facilitates the transition into Higher Education and which underpins employability and lifelong learning. This course was previously taught at our sister institution, Kaplan Business and Law School.

This degree can be used as a platform into a wide range of careers, including: financial analyst, general management, human resources, events management and marketing management. On completion of the course, students may decide to pursue a professional qualification in marketing, accountancy or human resources or study towards an MBA. Employability Almost three-quarters of UWE Bristol Business School undergraduates from the UK who studied on full-time and sandwich courses went on to secure graduate level employment in 2010. This was in a very competitive job market and demonstrates the high level of employability of our students. The UWE Graduate Destinations survey is available on the UWE website. This data shows that 84.6% of UWE Business and Management graduates go on to employment or further study within six months of graduating*.
