BUSINESS (BSC)

This flexible course is rooted in real-world business practice and will help you relate your own experience to your studies. You will investigate how organisations think and work, how managers work successfully, and the external circumstances in which businesses operate and succeed.

You will gain a solid understanding of key, transferable business skills and explore more specialised areas, including accounting, economics, leadership, innovation and marketing. We take a genuinely interdisciplinary approach to the subject, offering you an innovative way of learning about topics that cannot be pigeonholed into one particular area.

This programme attracts students from both the public and private sectors, including administrators, clerical workers and managers, as well as the self-employed. Because it is taught entirely by evening study, you are able to combine your academic studies with daytime commitments.

The majority of our students work or care for a family, so you will be learning with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with a wide range of experiences. This creates a stimulating and supportive learning environment. Our tutorial/seminar sessions give you a chance to interact with your peers and develop insights into analysing and interpreting a wide and varied subject matter.

This course is available for full-time study in both central London and Stratford. Students can also study on a part-time basis in both locations; applications for the part-time route should be made directly through the Birkbeck website.
