COURSE CURRICULUM

The Business Management BA at Leeds University Business School offers a structured and flexible program that equips students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in diverse management roles. In the first year, students explore foundational topics including accounting, organisational behaviour, the contemporary business environment, and entrepreneurship, while developing their potential through practical and analytical skills. Optional modules allow further exploration of enterprise, social responsibility, international business, and business analytics. In the second year, the focus shifts to applying management principles in practice, with compulsory modules covering decision-making, marketing, corporate social responsibility, operations, supply chains, and digital technologies, alongside management research and analysis. Students can also choose optional modules to deepen their understanding of legal, organisational, and global business contexts. The third year emphasizes strategic thinking and leadership, with compulsory modules in strategic management, innovation, leadership, and a substantial dissertation or project in management. Optional modules enable students to specialise in areas such as international marketing, advertising, global business management, marketing strategy, innovation and technology, human resources, and behavioural science. Across all years, the course balances theoretical knowledge with practical applications, preparing graduates with critical thinking, analytical, and professional skills essential for careers in private, public, or entrepreneurial sectors.
