University of Wales Trinity Saint David - BA Business Management

University of Wales Trinity Saint David

BA Business Management

This course is an ideal insight into the fast-moving world of business today. It has been designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed within the public, private or third sector.

What you will learn

Students who wish to study this programme may come from a wide variety of subject backgrounds, including, but not necessarily business management. This programme suits those who prefer to learn a broad repertoire of business skills, rather than focusing on one specialism.

This involves learning core business skills relating to, for example, marketing, human resources, information systems/e-Business, accounting and finance. Students would undertake a range of tasks associated with business organisations and would enjoy developing sophisticated solutions to business problems and opportunities.

Given the broad range of skills learned, graduates would have many career opportunities in a diverse range of business roles (e.g. marketing, HR, project management, etc.) in a wide range of sectors. This programme is also suitable as a stepping stone for those who wish to develop a specialism after a general business education, for those who wish to become business teachers or as a route to self-employment.

Specialist pathway options available at level 6 include:

  • BA (Hons) Business Management (Accounting & Finance)
  • BA (Hons) Business Management (Marketing)
  • BA (Hons) Business Management (Business Analytics)
  • BA (Hons) Business Management (Human Resources)
