Business management

Our business courses will enable you to begin your chosen career with confidence. Our teaching approach is vocationally orientated: we cover the theory in depth and then apply it to real world issues by case studies and through employer-based projects.

What our students say

An international student shares his experience of studying at Brighton Business School

"The course exceeded my expectations in that, as well as covering the conventional areas of business, it went beyond these introducing subjects such as entrepreneurship and environmental economics, allowing me to really customise my learning and to have something different to show employers."

Louise Vincent
