BA (Hons) Business Management (Top-Up)

This Top-Up degree is for students who’ve already completed an HND or equivalent Level-5 qualification in business or a related discipline, and now want to upgrade to a full honours undergraduate degree. The course is structured to help you develop modern business knowledge and leadership skills that are relevant in contemporary workplaces—especially in digital business, operations, people management, and innovation. You’ll use business simulation software to run a virtual enterprise—managing aspects like marketing, finance, sales, product development, operations, and the supply chain. The assessments are hands-on: case studies, group presentations, independent projects. You’ll also have access to an enterprise incubator, industry mentors, and networking opportunities. The focus is on real-world application and making you employable and confident in decision-making as a business professional.
