Business and Management

Business and management is one of the most broadly applicable degrees available, developing skills and knowledge that are relevant across virtually every sector of the economy. At the University of Lincoln, the BA Business and Management is a three-year full-time programme that includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement, giving you extensive professional and international experience alongside the academic development of your management understanding. Lincoln's commitment to student experience ensures that the programme is designed to help you grow, succeed, and take advantage of the opportunities that university life and the business world together offer.

The degree covers the core disciplines through which organisations are analysed and managed: strategy, marketing, finance and accounting, operations and supply chain management, human resource management, entrepreneurship, and the economic and regulatory environments in which businesses operate. You will develop both analytical skills, including the ability to evaluate business situations, apply theoretical frameworks, and interpret data, and the practical competencies of leadership, communication, project management, and team-working that employers look for. The sandwich year places you in a real business environment for an extended period, developing professional experience and maturity that are hard to acquire in an academic setting alone.

The year abroad adds an international dimension, exposing you to how business operates in different cultural and regulatory contexts.

Business and management graduates work across every sector of the economy. Marketing, finance, operations, human resources, consulting, entrepreneurship, logistics, public administration, and the charitable sector are all areas where management graduates find rewarding careers. The combination of analytical skills, professional experience, and international awareness that Lincoln's degree develops is broadly valued by employers, and the sandwich year in particular is consistently effective in supporting graduate employment.

Many graduates go on to professional qualifications in management, finance, or marketing, or pursue postgraduate study including master's degrees in business administration or specialist management disciplines. The degree provides a flexible and widely applicable foundation for a career in business and public life.
