Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Business and Management Studies] From Cardiff Metropolitan University

Graduates ofÊBA (Hons) Business and Management Studies at Cardiff Metropolitan University will be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge for a multi-disciplinary approach to diverse business and management problems.

The assessment strategy covers a wide spectrum of approaches. Each module has its own aims, objectives, learning outcomes and methods of delivery and assessment. Assessments may therefore take the form of assessed written papers/essays/reports, oral presentations, group and individual research projects, posters, reflective papers which may involve compiling scrapbooks, case studies as well as open/closed book formal examinations.

The work based placements at level 5 require the submission of a CV, reflective logs/diaries, employability presentation. Individual lecturers may use class-based peer assessment if they consider this appropriate.

Preparation and support is available for assessment through various activities designed by module leaders, personal tutors and library.?

Employability & Careers?:

Knowledge and understanding of business management, in conjunction with the development of graduate employability skills required from employers is paramount. From the moment of induction, to completion of your final year, employability is an important aspect of your degree programme.

?As well as a compulsory work experience module in year two, which we can arrange for you, we hold careers fairs and social networking events with employers. Alternatively, if you intend to become a young Entrepreneur and start your own business, the Centre for Student Entrepreneurship will aid you in business practice and help develop your business idea while you are a university student. The work experience module in year 2 (level 5) seeks to offer you real world experience. A module is also available between years 2 and 3 where students take a placement in industry for one year which is awarded 20 credits in their third year. Our work placement officers can assist in finding year long placements.

Most of our students enter the business world after graduation and will find employment in a wide range of organisations, in both the public and private sector. For example students have found employment as business sales executives, marketing associate professionals, financial account managers, managers and directors in retail and wholesale, estate agents and auctioneers, and human resources and industrial relations officers, to name a few.
