The International Year One Business and Management provides a pathway for you if you do not meet the standard entry criteria for our Business and Management BA. Throughout your first year, you will benefit from enhanced support. This starts with one week of intensive English language and academic skills development in September, before you begin your academic modules. The International Year One places a strong emphasis on equipping with you with the skills you need to succeed in your studies. From day one, you’ll be part of a vibrant and diverse student and academic community.

By studying topics such as operations management, strategy, business in digital economies and international business, the course will open up a wide range of opportunities for professional development, equipping you with the skills you need to become an effective and socially responsible manager in both local and global environments. You will also be supported by the School of Business Careers and Employability Team who offer a dedicated programme of support, opportunities and events, and will help you take your first steps towards a successful graduate career.
