About Business Management

Business managers play a number of different roles in different companies. In a small business environment, they may be responsible for a variety of jobs, including problem-solving payroll and rostering issues, everyday decision making, supply chain management and other business issues. In a large international business, a business manager will probably specialise in something like international human resource management, consumer behaviour, organisational behaviour and business ethics, or even management accounting.

Reasons to Work in Business Management in the UK

1. A business degree will set you up with a flexible work life balance

Doing a business management degree or other higher education will set you up for a lifetime career that will change with you over time. Whether you’re interested in an undergraduate course or going further, the degree gives you flexibility like nothing else will. If you’re interested in working full time after business school, and then going part-time to care for an elderly family member if you’re interested in international business and working overseas, or even if you’re looking for a permanent part-time position, an undergraduate degree can give you that option in your career.

Degrees available include:

1. • BSc Business Management
   • BSc Business Computing
   • BA (Hons) Business (Top-UP)

2. There’s a variety of work available in any field

If you’re not interested in an undergraduate degree, short courses can provide you with a more specific set of practical skills for exactly where you want to go. For example, you may want to stay in your current hospitality workplace but move into a management role. A short course can give you practical skills and transferable skills while allowing you to maintain your current workplace relationships and use your critical thinking skills that you’ve already learned. And if you work for a company that wants more managers, they may also contribute to your tuition fees and label it as professional development!

Possible courses include:

• Crisis communication management course
• Level 7 Diploma in Human resource management
• New to Project Management Bundle

How to Get Started in Business Management

There are a few things that will contribute to your decision about how to get started.

• What studies have you already done? If you’ve completed BTEC, the international baccalaureate or A levels, you may already have a potential entry into a course. Check individual course entry requirements to see if that’s an option
• What work experience do you have? Some courses only require that you have basic English language skills because they’re designed to be done by people who have already worked in the industry. If this is the case, have a look at short courses and optional modules, they may be more suitable. If you don’t have any work experience in the area, consider a course that offers work placement.
• Where do you live? International students, students from the European Union and students from London will all have different needs, different tuition fees and may need to go through different professional bodies to enrol in courses
