Program overview
A four year honours degree in business and management including a full year in industry, covering organisational behaviour, marketing, operations, strategy and a supervised placement.
Gloucestershire offers a placement version of most of its business degrees, and the extra year of British work experience is what makes them worth the additional cost.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business and Management (Placement Year) is taught at the University of Gloucestershire, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the business and management placement degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the business and management placement degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the business and management placement degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the business and management placement degree does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Business and Management (Placement Year) is a recognised Grade 12 or equivalent school qualification with 65 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the business and management placement degree is recorded at GBP 17,950. Gloucestershire charges no application fee, and Gloucestershire charges no application fee, and an India Scholarship of GBP 4,000 to 5,000 may apply to the business and management placement degree automatically. The business and management placement degree lists two entry windows, the earliest in 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the business and management placement degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with reading 20, writing 19, speaking 22 and listening 19; or PTE Academic 64. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted.
- Application and deposit: The University of Gloucestershire charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: Gloucestershire runs an India Scholarship worth GBP 4,000 to 5,000 for self-funded international students, awarded automatically with no separate application. A Global Scholarship of GBP 1,500 also applies, and merit awards run higher again. You cannot hold more than one university scholarship, so the India award is normally the one to pursue. Confirm the exact figure on your offer letter rather than assuming the maximum.
- Additional requirement: The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted at this campus on any course. Plan for IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT or PTE Academic instead.
- Work rights: the business and management placement degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
