Anybody actually do the 4 years degree course in Business Management? What is the course like?

i done it as an add on in 4th year last year. Graduated recently. Its quite an interesting course in my opinion.

The mandatory subjects in 4th year were: Dissertation (Thesis), International Business, Strategic Management and Corporate Governance/Business Ethics (2 separate Semesterised subjects),

Then you have the choice of two of the following

Business Information Systems 2
Industrial Relations
International Economics
E-Business
Enterprise 2
Corporate Finance
French 4 or German 4

Come to think of it even when i did the three years prior under other course titles, we had many of the same subjects in common which ive highlighted in bold

Year 1

Mandatory Subjects
Financial Accounting 1
Quantitative Techniques
Economics 1
Management
Business Applications 1

Plus One Elective:
Writing, Presentation and Research Skills
French 1 or German 1
Business Psychology

Year 2

Mandatory Subjects
Management Accounting
Business Applications 2
Business Law
Marketing * ( would have actually done this in 1st year office management instead of french)


Plus Two Electives:

Supply Chain Management OR Human Resource Management
And One Other:
Economics 2
French 2 or German 2
Financial Accounting 2

Year 3

Mandatory Subjects
Business Research Methods
Organisational Behaviour
Operations Management
Business Finance

Plus Two Electives:
Strategic HRM
Enterprise 1
Business Information Systems 1
Managerial Economics
*Business English/Project
Selling and Sales Management
French 3 or German 3


Very little difference between all of the business courses tbh.

anyone know if you do bachelor's of business course do they teach basic business to u in first year?

Accounting is pretty basic in first year as is Economics. If your keen and interested you should fly first year with little hassle to be honest. I absolutely loved first year.

I'd imagine you'd need no previous business knowledge going into the course.

Never even done business all the way through secondary school myself. Took to it like a duck to water.
