Business is the study of organisations and the wider environment in which they operate. If you're looking to develop your knowledge and skills of organisations, commercial enterprises, and the strategic decisions businesses must make in competitive and globalised work, then a business degree is right for you!
We think you are spoilt for choice, course-wise, at Greenwich with our range of Business & Management courses. However, we know that it can sometimes be hard to understand which could be the one for you.
Regardless of which Greenwich Business & Management course you choose, all students get access to great things! We have first-rate employability support, including careers mentoring, advice, events, and more. Our Generator Team is here to help you turn your business idea into a reality. All our full-time undergraduate Business & Management courses also have an optional placement* year (typically lasting 9-12 months), allowing you to get hands-on industry experience! All-in-all, from skills to knowledge to experience, we can really help you forge your future.
(* The placement year is only available to those starting courses, which have a 'sandwich' mode, in the course's first-year (this includes the foundation year of the BA (Hons) Business Management (Extended) degree. Placements are NOT available to those arriving on a ‘direct entry’ pathway (i.e. those joining Greenwich on either the second or third year of a degree)).
Our Business & Management courses:
- Our flagship programme - and traditionally one of our most popular degrees - is BA (Hons) Business Management. This is a course which will develop your knowledge of key business functions - such as finance, marketing and HR - as well as the wider environment in which businesses operate. You’ll explore areas including business law, business ethics and economics. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop the necessary skills for effective management, such as leadership, communication and persuasion, data analysis, and negotiation.
- BA (Hons) Business Management & Leadership offers you a slightly different structure from our other courses. If you’re looking to combine work, or other commitments, with study, this course - with on-campus teaching one day per week, supported by online learning and guidance - is one to look at. Again, you’ll look at business functions and management. However, the Business Management & Leadership degree has a stronger, more consistent, focus on leadership - you’ll find leadership modules across each of the three years of study.
- On our BA (Hons) Business Studies degree, you’ll focus on businesses and the practical skills for business development, management, and strategy. Business Studies has less emphasis on, for example, the ‘people’ component of business management, and a stronger focus on business development and business strategy.
- BA (Hons) International Business - as the name suggests, has a stronger focus on the international context in which organisations operate. You’ll develop knowledge and skills in areas such as international marketing, emerging markets, managing across cultures, corporate social responsibility, and economics. If you’re looking to acquire or develop your language skills we’ve a ‘With Language’ version of the degree, incorporating the study of a language - French, Italian, Mandarin, or Spanish.
- If you want to work towards creating a more sustainable and equitable world, our innovative new BA (Hons) Sustainability Management degree is for you. It will equip you to confront pressing environmental and societal issues and you’ll learn what’s needed to drive - and lead on - sustainability initiatives in organisations.
- Ever thought of launching a business? Want to be a force for good? If the answer’s ‘yes’, make your ideas matter and unlock your potential as an ethical change-maker with our BA (Hons) in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. Be empowered to make a positive societal impact and learn what’s needed to lead with integrity.
Regardless of what you choose, all our courses provide a great launchpad for a wide range of careers across a wide range of business and organisations. Find out more about all our great Business & Management courses here.
