Overview

Business and Economics is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Business Studies covers finance, marketing, operations and people management before you pick a specialism, which suits applicants who have not settled on one yet.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

This is the widest graduate market in the country and also the most competitive, which means the degree opens the door and the internship decides who walks through it. Structured graduate schemes recruit a year ahead, so applications start early in the final stage.
