Overview
Business management is vital in every industry. If you’re keen to develop your critical thinking skills and understand the essential areas of business, then this course covers what you need to know to become a successful business graduate, ready to work internationally.
Gaining a solid understanding of business management will readily prepare you for a career in a range of sectors and industries, including the finance and technology industries.
Not only will you study the fundamental areas of business, finance, HR, marketing, and operations, you will also focus on the micro and macro environments in which they operate. This will develop your understanding of business structures, whilst expanding your confidence and knowledge with how to handle real-world scenarios.
With such a diverse and professionally-sound curriculum, accredited by the Chartered Management Institute, our course is fundamentally industry-led. It gives you the opportunity to examine and analyse real-life organisational issues within local, regional, and national organisations.
We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. This is why we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate. Our 2026 course will reflect this new approach. The 2026 course page will be made live shortly.

Module information
As well as the core modules, you may also have the opportunity to study a number of option modules. Option modules will not be pre-selected for you. We provide examples of option modules. The availability of specific option modules may vary from year to year. The offer of an option will be subject to a minimum number of students choosing the module to ensure the appropriate student experience. The offer of option modules may also be affected by staff availability. It means we cannot guarantee the availability of a particular optional module. However, we will ensure you have a choice of option modules.
Core/optional modules
How you’ll learn
Our teaching team will share with you their expert knowledge, experience and research insights during stimulating lectures, seminars and practical workshops.
You will be taught over two semesters each year, taking three modules per semester. Typically, depending on your module choices you will have around 12 contact hours per week, in addition to your own independent learning.
Seminars in smaller groups will enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures and you'll also be supported by your academic personal tutor.
Between Years 2 and 3 you'll have the opportunity to gain work experience on a year-long placement with an external organisation.
In your final year you can opt to undertake a Dissertation on an academic based subject or Business project that can be based on a live brief from a relevant industry.
When not attending lectures, seminars, workshops, or other timetabled sessions you'll continue learning through self-study.
Typically, this involves reading journal articles and books, undertaking research in the library, working on projects, and preparing for coursework assignments/examinations, workshops, and seminars. Your module tutor will direct you towards specific readings and/or activities to complete before class.
Christ Church Business School is special for a number of reasons, not least of which is the really good links we have with businesses. It's a supportive place to study business; we work well with you, and you work well with us.Julian GloverSenior Lecturer, Christ Church Business School
How you’ll be assessed
You'll be assessed by a number of methods including essays, reports, business simulations, presentations, reflective logs, computer based assessments, examinations, and case studies. Some modules include group assessments to help you become familiar with working as a team; often a key aspect of professional and graduate level work.
The nature of the assessment depends on the modules you take. This mixture is intended to build individual knowledge and skills in the application of theory and best practice to realistic business scenarios. It also provides valuable experience in the importance of effective teamwork and leadership in achieving goals.

Combining academic study and practical assessments, this degree will equip you to pursue a wide range of career opportunities.

I found the placement and employability support from the University extremely valuable. When applying to placements I was able to benefit from the advice of previous students and gain support from my placement advisor with how to submit a strong application. During my final year I utilised the employability service who I met with monthly to discuss progress with graduate jobs, they also provided a great deal of resources for me to support with interviews and my CV.DanielleCummins Placement student
