Why choose UoG?

Gain hands-on experience through live business projects, consultancy work and paid placements, while networking with industry professionals.

Top reasons to study this course

Our BA (Hons) Business and Management degree is designed to launch your career, whether you aim to lead in multinational corporations, start your own business, or specialise in a specific career path. 

You’ll gain hands-on experience through live business projects, case studies, and consultancy work, while networking with industry professionals during guest lectures. Interactive simulations that model real-life situations will enhance your problem-solving and decision-making skills, preparing you for real-world challenges. 

In your first year, you’ll build a strong business foundation before specialising in your second and third years. You will continue to develop knowledge and expertise in key areas of business and management, with the ability to specialise with career-related modules. Choose from modules focusing on project management, international business, consultancy, human resource management, and events management. 

Throughout the course you’ll develop skills and global commercial awareness. You’ll have the opportunity to study abroad or undertake a work placement in the UK or abroad, giving you valuable experiences on both a personal and professional level.  

Our strong connections with thriving local businesses give you opportunities for internships and access to expertise. The Student Futures team is on hand to provide tailored career guidance, keeping you ahead in a competitive job market. 

In your first year each module includes at least 3 hours of in-class learning. This is a combination of lectures, where you’ll connect with students from other courses, and interactive small-group seminars.  

These sessions bring learning to life through activities and real-world applications which reinforce key concepts. With plenty of opportunities to ask questions, collaborate, and apply your knowledge, you’ll gain a deeper understanding while building confidence in your skills. 

The course benefits from small class sizes and opportunities for expert mentorship. You’ll also receive personalised support through our Personal Tutor scheme and benefit from career-building opportunities. 

There will be numerous opportunities to forge connections through business networking events and a range of clubs and societies organised by the Students’ Union. 

Your lecturers have a wealth of industry experience that makes lectures engaging, but you will also meet a range of guest speakers and have opportunities to take part in field trips.   

Previous speakers have represented Jaguar Land Rover, Ecotricity, CMI, CIPD, CIM, Enterprise Mobility, and St. James’s Place Wealth Management. Previous field trips include the Business Innovation Expo in London, Forest Green Rovers FC in Stroud, Freixenet Winery in Barcelona, and the IPAG Business School in Nice.  

Graduates have stepped into leadership roles as business development managers, project managers, events managers, and consultants, while others thrive in marketing and sales as social media marketing specialists, brand managers, or sales executives.  

Those drawn to finance and analytics have become business analysts and wealth management advisers, and HR-focused graduates are now HR managers and talent acquisition specialists. Many have also launched their own startups, founded businesses, or worked in innovation consultancy. 

As technology and sustainability reshape industries, future careers will evolve. The rise of digital business has created demand for e-commerce managers, business intelligence analysts, and digital transformation consultants. Sustainability-focused careers are also increasingly in demand, with roles in corporate sustainability, green finance, sustainable marketing, and renewable energy business management. 

Whether you want to climb the corporate ladder, launch a business, or drive sustainable change, you’ll graduate ready to make an impact.
