Business and Management

Business and management is one of the most versatile of all undergraduate degrees, developing the knowledge and skills that are relevant across almost every organisation, sector and career path. At its core, the discipline is concerned with how organisations are run, how decisions are made, how teams are led, how products and services are marketed and how businesses create and sustain value in competitive environments. It combines strategy, finance, marketing, operations and people management into an integrated understanding of what it takes to make organisations work effectively.

At Anglia Ruskin, this three-year full-time programme builds your analytical, problem-solving and leadership capabilities within a curriculum that is grounded in the practical realities of business. You will develop skills in financial literacy, strategic analysis, marketing, organisational behaviour and project management, alongside the communication and teamwork abilities that professional life demands. Cambridge, where Anglia Ruskin is based, is one of the UK's most significant technology and business clusters, and the degree benefits from proximity to this environment.

The programme is broad by design, giving you the foundations to move into a wide range of roles and to adapt as your career develops. You will engage with real-world business contexts throughout the degree, developing the ability to apply theoretical frameworks to actual management challenges.

Graduates of business and management programmes are employed across virtually every sector of the economy. Management, operations, marketing, human resources, sales, business development, consulting and graduate management programmes in large organisations are all common career destinations. The degree is also a solid foundation for entrepreneurship, and many graduates go on to start their own ventures.

Postgraduate study in business, management, marketing or finance is a natural option.
