Course summary
Overview
Are you aspiring to be a manager of the future? Are you passionate about business?
This course aims to develop independent-thinking professionals who can meet the demands of business employers and adapt to a constantly changing world. The HND in Business Management is a recognised qualification for anyone wanting a career in business or wider business services across a range of sectors and can also be used as a stepping stone to higher level degree studies. The majority of students on successful completion of this course join an honours degree at level 6 (final year).
What's covered in this course?
Students will study business skills, knowledge and understanding associated with professional practice in the international business environment. Subjects studied as part of the course will develop skills for leading, managing, and responding to change as well as tackle a range of complex business situations. Studies involve different aspects of business such as the global environment, human resources, marketing, leadership and management as well as accounting and finance.
Business and business practices change rapidly and so successful managers require the skills to be able to work in an environment where there are both opportunities and challenges that are presented by a global market place, work across multi-cultural and diverse teams equipping students with the knowledge and understanding of culturally diverse organisations.
Enhancing employability skills
Learning at a vocational college means the emphasis is always on your employability and future career. The course content is focused on developing personal and business skills to prepare you for a range of careers and jobs. These might include accounting work, management traineeships, marketing, purchasing, retail management and selling.
Youll develop a knowledge and understanding of business and management concepts, theories and current issues facing businesses today. Youll look at the connections between leadership, management and what makes a business effective from a range of perspectives and environments.
To help you forge your career youll learn to analyse, research and apply what you know to form practical solutions to business problems. Pitching, presenting, communicating and having good IT skills are all areas employers are looking for and we help you to flourish in all of these areas.
Graduate jobs
People who complete an HND with us can go straight into a career, but many choose to continue learning and often complete a full degree. For example, Jasdeep Dhillon went on to do a degree in business and management with us when she finished her HND. From there she went straight into a graduate scheme position as a Project Management Officer at Capgemini.
