The BA Honours Business Management (Project Management) programme is offered in full-time study mode and runs over 3 years. The programme consists of four 30 credit modules per year. The first year comprises four compulsory modules dedicated exclusively to a Business and Management programme. In the second year, students study three compulsory modules designed to expand knowledge of the behaviour of people in organisations, of operations management and of the business environment. In the second year students also undertake an optional module from a number of management discipline-specific modules, including human resource management, brand management and sustainable products.

In the final year students study two compulsory modules designed to advance skills and knowledge appropriate to graduate level and with a focus on business management and project management. These are modules in management strategy and managing business projects. In the final year students also undertake two options from managing and developing projects with software, developing successful project plans, or a research project.

A variety of learning, teaching and assessment strategies are employed in order to enhance the student experience and ensure that as wide a range as possible of appropriate skills and learning outcomes are met.
