University of LeicesterLeicester, Campus-based

Course overview

At the School of Business our courses offer a comprehensive insight into a broad range of subjects including business management, marketing, human resource management, business ethics and innovation. We are driven by a commitment to asking challenging questions and to engaged, creative and socially responsible approaches to business, management and economics. Our degrees provide opportunities for personal and professional development and will give you the skills to overcome contemporary managerial challenges with innovative and analytical decision-making.

The Business and Management BSc is particularly designed for future leaders who want more than surface-level knowledge and skills. This course offers a sharper, data-driven understanding on how organisations function in fast-changing AI-enabled environments. With a strong emphasis on quantitative analysis, you will explore how numbers tell stories, drive decisions and reveal future opportunities and challenges.

You will learn to steer through business complexity using critical thinking, strategic modelling and the digital fluency, which are now key to organisational success. Ranging from AI-powered insights to people analytics and business intelligence, this course challenges you to think beyond theory and apply analytical frameworks to real-world problems. Whether you curious about how start-ups move from concept to execution and then traction, how data visualisation informs C-suite decision makings or how entrepreneurs build future-proofed business models, this programme gives you the right tools and mindset to excel in a competitive business environment driven by disruption and innovation.

Our courses will provide you with an in-depth understanding of contemporary business and management techniques and will allow you to develop the skills to become an effective and socially responsible manager in local or public arenas, whether in public, private or socially run third sector organisations and enterprises.
