BA Business and Management

The BA Business and Management programme at the University of Lincoln typically lasts three years for full-time students. However, those who wish to gain more experience can extend their studies to four years by opting for a work placement or an international year abroad. Students who choose these pathways will graduate with degrees titled BA (Hons) Business and Management (with Professional Practice) or BA (Hons) Business and Management (International Study Year).

In this programme, students start by learning about essential topics like organisational behavior, finance, and economics in their first year. As they move into the second year, the focus shifts to areas such as sustainability, leadership, and human resource management. By the final year, students can specialise in crisis management, financial management, global marketing strategy or other areas of interest. 

The course is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and employs a mix of teaching methods, including lectures, seminars, and practical workshops. Students are assessed through essays, reports, portfolios, and presentations.
