BA Business and Management Top-up
Course overview
This BA (Hons) Business and Management (Top-up) course is a quick way to get a full bachelor's degree in just one year. It will teach you about how businesses are managed strategically, the importance of being sustainable, and the big challenges that businesses face worldwide.
You will learn by doing practical things in workshops and by working on tasks that are based on real business situations. This will help you understand how businesses work and how they operate in different countries.
Your learning will involve working with others and doing projects that feel like real business problems. The final big project will ask you to think about international issues, doing things ethically, or being sustainable in business. The way you learn is designed to help you work well in a team, become a good leader, and learn on your own. The University of Portsmouth-London campus is in a great spot, just a short walk from the tube and bus in Walthamstow, so it's easy to get to the businesses in London. The campus itself is new and was built for this purpose.
