Introduction• We offer two closely related courses:
• BSc Management• BSc Business Studies
1 - Note that they are Bachelor of Science rather than Bachelor of Arts – the emphasis is on numeracy, reasoning and communication
2 - Note that although both cover the basics, they are quite distinctive and it is important to know the difference when writing your personal statement
3 - Getting through your school exams is the beginning of a journey, be prepared for degree study to be quite different
4 - It is important to us that you chose the right course - a discontented or unhappy student is no good for anyone - so research all your options thoroughly
