Bachelor of Science - Business and Management (Brunel Business School) with Placement

Brunel's Business and Management degree course equips students with a broad knowledge and appreciation of issues faced in the world of business. Students gain the analytical, technical and interpersonal skills required to understand, analyse and address the challenges faced by today’s companies. The components of this degree offer students the widest range of core skills in business and management out of all the pathways. This includes market economies; theoretical and practical characteristics of organisations; various business models and frameworks; coping with future uncertainty, and managing change. Emphasis on this pathway is on globalisation issues generated by multinational enterprises (MNEs). As they account for over fifty percent of global output, a deeper understanding of the commercial power of MNEs will help students position themselves strategically in a competitive job market. Students also learn valuable technical skills along the way including numerical methods and how to use statistical software packages such as SPSS and EXCEL, without the need for A level maths or the overseas equivalent. The course includes a module on Management Enquiry to help students adapt to university study through active learning sessions on topics such as working in groups, report writing and time management. This Business and Management BSc is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), which means they will gain exemptions from some of their professional papers if they wish to undertake further study towards being a chartered management accountant after they graduate. There is the option for students to take a year’s work placement between their second and third year. Previous employers have included Adidas, Microsoft, British Airways, PwC and Nissan. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience and make valuable contacts for their future career.
