What is this course about?
This three-year degree course equips students with a broad skill-base ensuring graduates will have a wide range of career options. The first two years provide students with a foundation in business and subjects are common for all students. After two years, students separate into their chosen specialist area from a choice of five areas:
• Business Management (BMT)
• Human Resource Management (HRM)
• International Business (INT)
• Supply Chain Management (SCM)
• Marketing (MKT)
Course options
• Common Entry (CEY)
By choosing “CEY” Common Entry applicants are applying for a place on the course but postponing the decision as to which business speciality to opt for until the end of Year 2. This allows students time to explore the future career choices open to graduates in the different specialism streams. Expert guidance will be available from lecturing staff members in the Institute and ultimate choices can then be considered in light of academic performance across a range of business subject areas.
Application Process
Students now have the option to choose either a common entry option at CAO stage and choose a specialist area after Year 2 or can choose a specialist area at CAO stage.
