About this course

Business management is the discipline that equips graduates to understand and contribute to the running of organisations in a complex, changing world. It draws on economics, psychology, sociology, accounting, finance, marketing, law and organisational behaviour to build a comprehensive picture of how enterprises function, how people within them make decisions, and how leaders can shape culture and strategy. Far from being a narrow vocational subject, business management at its best is genuinely interdisciplinary, drawing on multiple social sciences to address real problems of coordination, resource allocation and value creation.

At King's College London, this three-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, and is delivered in the heart of London, one of the world's leading financial and business centres. With a typical entry tariff of 232 UCAS points, this is a highly competitive degree that attracts students with strong academic ability and genuine professional ambition. You will study across the breadth of the management discipline, developing expertise in strategy, marketing, finance, human resource management and organisational behaviour, while also building the analytical, communication and leadership skills that employers consistently demand.

The programme's location gives you outstanding networking opportunities and direct access to the business, entrepreneurial and economic communities that surround the campus.

Graduates from business management programmes pursue careers across every sector of the economy. Common destinations include management consultancy, investment banking, marketing, product management, operations, human resources, entrepreneurship and the public sector. The breadth of the degree means that graduates are not locked into a single career path, and the analytical and communication skills developed at King's are valued across industries.

Many graduates go on to postgraduate study, including MBA programmes, specialist masters degrees in management, finance or marketing, or graduate schemes with major employers. The combination of rigorous academic study and a London location gives King's graduates strong foundations for a wide range of ambitious careers.

This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: the consulting projects with real companies genuinely prepare you for the working world. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the ci…

The course has exceeded my expectations. The best part: case-based teaching forces you to think commercially. If I'm honest, some seminar groups were too big for meaningful discussion. On the city β€” the city is a brilliant student city with…
