What Business administration offers

Wherever your interest in business lies, whether it’s finance, economics, organisational behaviour or marketing, the Business Administration programme prepares you to be a manager and leader within an organisation. You can expect a very hands-on approach with workshops and practical challenges giving you a true experience of the business world as you research and analyse problems and processes and turn your ideas into solid advice. 

Business Administration in practice

You work on assignments from real companies in each year of the course, collaborating in small groups and drawing on the skills and experience of lecturers and professionals in business. This method of working (Design-Based Education) means you learn to draw on feedback to adapt your ideas and become more flexible, while also developing your teamwork and leadership skills. It means you get hands-on experience of what it’s like to research and understand a company’s business and processes, develop solutions based on marketing, finance or human resource principles and writing, for instance, satisfaction surveys, problem analyses and advisory reports.
