Business Management (Accelerated) - BA (Hons)

Nottingham Trent University

This course is designed to provide you with a broad range of knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to business and management that will enable you to excel in a wide range of jobs once you graduate.

The accelerated nature of the course means that within three years you both complete three years of academic study and, through a compulsory internship, achieve a year of work experience.

This course allows you to learn more about the broad area of business and management and the specialist occupations such as marketing, operations management, human resource management and finance and so is readily adaptable and flexible to a wide range of business and management orientations.

Your first year of study will incorporate traditional modes of learning such as lectures and seminars, alongside business simulations, enterprise and project work, company projects and development plans and reports.

During your second year you will study your academic modules alongside working full time. You will attend study support days at NBS and will be supported face-to-face and at distance by tutors. You’ll have access to resources and feedback throughout and will be further supported by an academic mentor. As you will be working in a company, the majority of your assignments will be based on your own work, learning and development and the activities and practices of your placement company.

In Year Three you will return to Nottingham Business School and, in addition to core project and subject-based modules, you will be involved in mentoring first year students and running a student-led conference.

The course is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
