Introduction

Overview

In an increasingly cutthroat global economy, we aim to create reflectively, socially and ethically aware specialists in operations management.

You’ll learn to identify problems, gather relevant information and analyse your data to make decisions and take action.

More mathematically rigorous than the equivalent BA, the BSc in Business and Management is a well-balanced degree that will prepare you to make complex business decisions in a volatile global marketplace.

Course content

Our business and management, accounting and finance degrees share some common elements in Year 1 to introduce you to the core concepts underpinning these key disciplines.

As you progress, you'll develop the knowledge and skills acquired in your first year, giving both depth and breadth to your learning, with an emphasis on mathematical skills and statistical analysis. You'll be able to choose optional modules to widen your knowledge or bring your specialism into focus.

Study abroad

Year abroad

All of the York Management School's three-year courses give you the option to add a year abroad between years two and three of your course.

Summer abroad

Immerse yourself in another culture for a few weeks or the whole summer on a short course, volunteering programme, or career-related summer school.

Year 1

In Year 1, you'll study seven core modules, which introduce some of the key concepts and techniques used in business and management. The modules give a broad overview of topics you may want to specialise in in later years, with assessments designed to develop your academic skills. You'll enhance your understanding of accountancy and statistical research methods.

Year 2

In Year 2 you'll develop your understanding further, and explore some new areas of study. Modules build on the concepts introduced in Year 1, expanding your understanding of key topics, research techniques and practical skills.

Year 3

In your final year, you'll take three core modules. You can then choose option modules to develop new skills, take a closer look at topics you're familiar with, or investigate an interesting subject in detail.

You can take three option modules, or one option module plus a dissertation based on an original research project.
