Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business Management

BA (Hons) Business Management is DMU’s core three-year business degree, covering the full management curriculum in stages: year one builds foundations in organisational behaviour, marketing principles, accounting for managers and the business environment; year two adds operations, human resources, business analytics and project management; the final year centres on strategic management, leadership and a choice of specialist options ranging from entrepreneurship to international business.

Teaching follows DMU’s block model — one subject at a time in intensive four-week cycles — from the Hugh Aston Building, and assessment leans on business reports, simulations and group consultancy briefs rather than exam-only grading. The degree also feeds directly into the faculty’s placement office, and students on this standard route can still apply to transfer onto the sandwich variant at the end of year one if they secure a placement offer.

A budgeting note families consistently find useful: at £16,800 a year over three years, total tuition undercuts a comparable London degree by roughly £10,000 before living costs are counted, and Leicester’s shared-housing market — typically £400–£550 monthly — widens that gap further. The portal export also records January windows in 2027 and 2028 alongside the September cycles, giving late-deciding applicants a same-academic-year entry that most UK business schools cannot match.

Families comparing UK options should hear the plain version: general business is the highest-volume degree in Britain, first salaries cluster at £21,000–£25,000, and differentiation is built through the CV, not the classroom. On the visa side, a completed UK bachelor’s qualifies for the Graduate Route; anyone finishing this course will be applying after the January 2027 rule change and should therefore plan around 18 months of open work permission, with no dependants allowed during the study years on a taught route.
