COURSE CURRICULUM

The Business Management degree at Sussex provides students with a comprehensive foundation in business, combining practical skills with theoretical knowledge to prepare them for leadership in diverse and dynamic environments. In the first year, students gain core understanding through modules in business and management, economics, accounting, marketing, organisational behaviour, human resource management, and digital, data, and decision-making skills. The second year builds on this foundation with core modules in managing operations, projects, and technologies, while a broad selection of options allows students to tailor their learning to areas such as entrepreneurship, leadership, international business, innovation, digital work, supply chain management, and equality, diversity, and inclusion. In the final year, students focus on research methods, strategy, and corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and business ethics, alongside options in leadership, digital transformation, business analytics, international negotiations, finance, enterprise, and human resource management. Throughout the course, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and practical skills, supported by opportunities for applied projects, case studies, and research. The program equips graduates to pursue careers across business sectors, including management, consulting, entrepreneurship, and global corporate roles, fostering adaptability, strategic insight, and the ability to lead responsibly in complex and changing business environments.
