Leading to: Business Management BSc (Hons)

The Business Management programme blends contemporary business theory with the practical application of technical business skills.

As a Business Management student you will become competent in:

  • Digital analytical expertise
  • Managing finance with appropriate tools
  • Understanding financial markets
  • People management
  • Development and marketing of products and services
  • Planning and project management delivery

The programme has six core modules at level 4 (first year), which form the essential commercial underpinnings for a global career in the digital business world. After completing this first year, students can then specialise and gain accreditation in their chosen area of expertise.

You are encouraged to complete an optional year work placement in industry between the second and third year of study. This will provide you with a richer overall experience. It will also significantly enhance your employment prospects upon graduating, as you will have gained work experience that you can draw upon when completing application forms and interviews.

Business simulation tools are used in a number of core modules to replicate real-world work scenarios. Using various applications, students work in small groups and compete to develop the best business strategies for success - including business growth, market dominance, ethical business and sustainability goals.

Throughout each year of the programme we run a series of networking events with course alumni and industry that allows students to develop with confidence, honing their communication skills and grow their own contacts and business links.

Using LJMU's close business networks across the region, students have the opportunity to act as a consultant, working on live business case projects such as market research, ecommerce, business growth, project delivery, HR legislation, marketing or business ops.

Liverpool Business School has partnerships with business schools at universities and colleges across Europe, in the USA and in China. The School recognises the importance of providing cultural enrichment opportunities for students and offers students on this programme the opportunity to spend a semester in their second year at a partner university abroad as part of their studies. All study abroad opportunities are in English. There are also many supported opportunities for activities at partner universities during summer vacations.
