BSc (Hons) Business Management







The Bachelor of Science degree programe in Business Management is available at Greenwich School of Management to study as an accelerated degree over two calendar years. The BSc (Hons) Business Management programe is studied in three stages which become increasingly more demanding as students progress. The course aims to build a broad understanding of business management incorporating a range of modules which will create the understanding and skills required to graduate through the University of Plymouth.

The range of modules in this BSc (Hons) programe is both broad and challenging, equipping successful students with the wherewithal to succeed in the demanding world of business and management.

Students on all BSc (Hons) Programes at GSoM will be required to complete an independent project based assignment, allowing them to carry out research in a specific area of study related to their chosen pathway.


Bachelor of Science (Hons)

The Greenwich School of Management Bachelor of Science Honours degree programmes are ‘accelerated, flexible –start’ university courses commencing in February, June and October each year. These undergraduate programmes take two calendar years to complete and are studied in Greenwich, London.

The assessment of students for the BSc (Hons) courses are made on a continuous basis, taking programme work, group project work and examination results into consideration. Formal examinations take place at the end of every semester at the School. Continuous assessment throughout the degree, emulates the business environment by placing an emphasis on the consistent intensity of work demands.

The programmes ensure that students have a thorough understanding of the nature of business, management and techniques available for effective planning and problem solving. Graduates will therefore be in an excellent position to move quickly to management positions and managerial responsibility. However, the programmes of study are not based solely on the acquisition of business knowledge and techniques, the degrees provide an education that goes beyond vocational training.

The purpose of the programmes encompasses the belief that an undergraduate programme should develop the individual’s intellectual curiosity and stimulate the ability to engage in articulate analysis of complex issues.The graduate will need to incorporate new ideas and address new situations in career development; the education received will enable this to be achieved quickly and effectively.

There are three stages to the programmes. Students study six subjects at each stage: three subjects in any semester. Each stage takes eight months (two semesters) to complete.The whole degree programme takes twenty-four months (six semesters) to complete.
