Marketing, human resources, accounting, leadership and management all feature on the BSc Business Management, which starts here with a foundation year to rebuild study confidence. The degree is approved under the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Accredited Degree scheme, so students can claim exemptions towards the CIM Certificate in Professional Marketing or Digital Marketing. You can choose to specialise as you study. Teaching is by professionals with real-world experience, and research, presentation, problem-solving, teamwork and entrepreneurship are developed throughout. Delivery is blended: one day on campus and the rest online, at Leeds or Bloomsbury in London. AF Education gives UK home students free help with the application and with Student Finance England.
