Business Management with Year in Industry
Business management is one of the broadest and most versatile disciplines available at undergraduate level. It draws on economics, psychology, sociology, accounting, finance, marketing, law, and human resource management to give you a rounded understanding of how organisations function, how decisions are made, and what it takes to lead and develop them effectively. A business management degree from a leading research university prepares you for a wide range of professional roles while also developing the critical thinking and communication skills that employers value across every sector.
At King's College London, situated in the heart of one of the world's great commercial cities, this four-year full-time degree includes a year in industry that gives you substantial professional experience before you graduate. You will study across the full range of business disciplines, understanding how organisations operate in competitive, global, and rapidly changing environments. King's strong links to the business world surrounding its central London campus provide excellent networking opportunities, and a wealth of entrepreneurial, business, and economic societies give you ways to engage with professional and academic communities beyond the classroom.
The year in industry is fully integrated into the degree, providing structured workplace learning that complements your academic studies and significantly strengthens your professional profile.
Business management graduates from King's go on to careers in finance, consulting, marketing, human resources, operations, entrepreneurship, the public sector, and many other fields. The combination of academic rigour, professional experience, and London connections that the degree provides is valued by employers across the UK and internationally. Many graduates also pursue postgraduate study, including MBA programmes, master's degrees in specialist business disciplines, or professional qualifications in accounting and finance.
The year in industry ensures you arrive at these next steps with genuine workplace experience already behind you.
