Why study BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management at BNU?
Professional accreditations
With BNU, you can benefit from CMI accreditation, proven to boost employability by providing learners with the management and leadership skills needed to succeed. On completion of your degree, you will gain a CMI qualification developed in consultation with employers.
Industry insights and partnerships
Our industry-experienced academics have developed this business management degree with the latest industry insights and are here to support you. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn how to apply practical and realistic solutions to complex business scenarios, studying subject areas that include financial decision-making, contemporary business issues, international marketing, and strategic agility. Brands previously involved in running interactive sessions have included Coca-Cola, Ryvita, and Yop, among others.
Our close relationship with the Chartered Management Institute has also lead to them regularly visiting campus to run sessions for each year group.
Work on live briefs for real clients
As part of the second year consultancy module, you will work in a team with fellow students and create a pitch which you deliver to real local businesses, competing against other student teams to win the contract for the work. You will then act as a real external team for the client, with the project culminating in an exhibition to showcase the work of all students on the course.
Choose your specialism
Buckinghamshire New University gives you the opportunity to choose your specialism for your future career after your experience of the core curriculum in year one. Rather than having to make your big decision before you join us, we introduce you to various specialisms and offer you the flexibility to choose the specialism which leads to your chosen career area. You can choose between BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management or BA (Hons) Business Management.
These specialisms are also offered as four-year programmes, including an initial Foundation Year. The Foundation Year will allow you to develop your academic study skills and build confidence in your abilities, identifying your own strengths and development needs for progression onto an undergraduate programme.
Supportive tutors and alumni community
Our lecturers are here to support you throughout the course and beyond. The Business School has a strong alumni community, and regular recruitment fairs frequently include alumni as employers. You'll have many opportunities to network during your time at BNU, with fellow students, staff, employers and graduates.
