This four-year degree will provide you with a strong grounding across the main areas of business and explores emerging challenges facing business in a global context. The difference between this degree and BA Management and Business is that it includes an additional one-year work placement after the second year. The course focuses on the business environment. It covers cultural context, markets and the legal, financial and ethical constraints under which firms operate.
