BA Business Management

About this course

Business management is the study of how organisations work and how they can be made to work better. At its core the discipline asks how resources, people, systems, and decisions can be aligned to create value, whether in a private company, a public body, or a not-for-profit organisation. What makes the part-time, distance-learning route at Robert Gordon University distinctive is that it is designed for people who are already working, allowing you to obtain a formal qualification while continuing your career and translating your learning directly into practice. Robert Gordon University's online Business Management degree responds to the changing needs of global business, and the programme covers the key functional areas of management including strategy, finance, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, and entrepreneurship. Studying at a distance means you will develop strong self-management and time discipline alongside your subject knowledge, skills that are valued in their own right by employers. The flexibility of the programme also means you can apply what you are studying to your current role in real time, making your learning immediately meaningful in a way that full-time study does not always allow. Business management qualifications at degree level open doors across virtually every sector. Graduates work in roles spanning operations management, human resources, marketing, finance, consultancy, project management, and general management. For those who want to progress further academically, a business management degree provides a strong foundation for postgraduate study in management, strategy, finance, or an MBA, and the professional networks and experience you build while studying part-time are an additional asset that many full-time graduates do not have.
