Business and Management
Business and management is one of the most versatile of all undergraduate disciplines, developing the knowledge and skills relevant across virtually every organisation, sector and career path. It combines strategic thinking, financial literacy, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour and leadership into an integrated understanding of what it takes to make organisations function effectively in competitive and changing environments.
At the University of London, this part-time, distance-learning programme allows you to develop your business and management expertise while managing work and other commitments. Studying entirely online, you engage with course materials, assessments and learning communities through a digital platform, giving you the flexibility to study at times that suit your schedule and from anywhere with an internet connection. The University of London's global reach means the programme attracts a diverse international cohort, which enriches the learning experience by bringing multiple perspectives on business and management practice from different national and cultural contexts.
The programme prepares you to navigate and analyse issues in international management, combining an applied understanding of business and management with a strong foundation in the social sciences and the analytical approach to problem-solving that business education at its best develops. You will engage with strategy, finance, marketing, human resources and operations, building the broad commercial understanding that employers across sectors value.
Graduates of business and management programmes move into management, operations, marketing, financial analysis, human resources, consulting, business development and graduate management schemes across private, public and not-for-profit sectors. The online, part-time format means many graduates are already in employment and apply their studies directly to their professional roles. Postgraduate study in business, management, finance or marketing is a natural progression.
