Business Management
Business Management is a degree that prepares you to understand how organisations create value, make decisions, and sustain themselves in competitive and changing environments. It is among the most versatile degrees available, covering the core disciplines of strategy, marketing, finance, operations, and human resources while also developing the analytical, communicative, and leadership skills that professional management roles require.
At Teesside University, this three-year full-time programme brings a contemporary and distinctive focus to business education. You will study the circular economy and the business opportunities it presents, exploring how organisations can design out waste, retain value, and build models that are commercially viable and environmentally responsible. You will develop your own business idea and work towards creating a venture with social impact as part of the circular economy, giving you direct experience of entrepreneurial thinking and the practical challenge of building something with purpose.
The programme also engages with user experience and user interface design, and with the digital tools used to prototype and develop app-based business ideas, reflecting the reality that digital products and services are central to modern commercial activity. The programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placements, providing structured professional and international experience alongside the academic curriculum.
Teesside's emphasis on applied and innovation-focused learning means the programme is genuinely forward-looking, preparing you not just for the commercial world as it is but for the directions in which it is moving.
Graduates pursue careers in business management, entrepreneurship, social enterprise, consultancy, marketing, operations, and digital business across a wide range of sectors. Many go on to postgraduate study in business or start their own ventures. The combination of business fundamentals and future-focused themes is well suited to a rapidly changing commercial landscape.
