The Business Management and Marketing with Foundation Year programme at Sheffield Hallam University teaches modern ways of running a business and marketing products. The course begins with a foundation year to build essential academic skills and prepare students for university-level study.
Following this, the degree part of the course helps students learn what makes well-known brands successful and how businesses operate in the real world. Students learn to use information about customers and markets to create effective business and marketing plans.
In this course, students will gain practical experience through placements, internships, and projects where they will act as consultants. They will learn through lectures and smaller group discussions, alongside hands-on tasks and will be assessed through coursework, assignments, and practical projects, allowing them to show what they have learned and how they can apply it.
