A business degree designed around you
Our BA Business Management is CMI-accredited — meaning you graduate with both a degree and a CMI Level 5 qualification. After graduation, you can apply for Chartered Manager status, the highest status achievable in the management and leadership profession.
You'll specialise at Level 6 in Marketing, Entrepreneurship, or Human Resource Management — graduating with a named degree title that signals exactly where your career is heading. An optional internship module lets you apply theory in a real London workplace.
Validated by Birkbeck, University of London — with flexible timetables designed for students who want to work alongside their studies.
"I knew I could grow my skillset in this institute. Through my years of study here, I have learned a lot of things about Business Management, they are really rich modules. Bloomsbury changed my mindset massively, and helped me understand exactly what I wanted to do with my future."
