The University of Northampton’s innovative BA (Hons) Business Management Degree, accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), takes a practical approach to exploring contemporary business practices, contexts and debates. You will engage with a broad range of business and management challenges and opportunities allowing you to develop in-depth knowledge alongside industry-relevant skills. The business management degree includes specialist modules that provide practical skills in areas such as strategy, marketing, leadership, risk management and sustainable business. Supported by expert academic staff, you will have access to local and multinational organisations, working on real-world projects to expand your experience and networks. With up to six pathway subjects to choose from, you will develop specialist skills ready for a graduate career or postgraduate study.

This programme has a January intake which is open for international applicants. This intake has an accelerated first year which extends into the summer, so that students joining us in January can progress onto the second year with September’s cohort.

The course has September and January starts. For a September start, please apply using the ‘Apply Now’ button; to apply for a January start, please see below.

Careers and Employability


One of the advantages of the BA (Hons) Business Management degree is the broad range of career options suitable for graduates. We prepare you with transferable skills and knowledge that can be applied in many business functions and role types. The pathways offer specialist areas to give you a sense of specified fields that you may be interested in, and the core programme ensures that students who choose to leave their choices until later receive a strong foundation to apply in many areas. Typical graduates from our previous Business Management degree programmes went on to roles such as Product Manager, Marketing Executive, Business Analyst, and Account Manager. The pathway offering will help to strengthen graduate opportunities to secure their ideal role.

Master’s Opportunities

Our master’s courses are a great way to enhance the skills you have already learnt. Benefit from our 20% alumni discount on postgraduate fees to give you a CV that will catch the eye of employers.

BA Business Management graduates can progress to a wide range of master’s courses given the broad, transferable learning the programme offers. The following are just a few example:
