    Cumbria’s BA in Business Management is ideal for those who want to forge an exciting career in business or in the not for profit sector, either within the UK or globally. It will ensure that you get a well-rounded business education, receiving both the academic skills you need to excel and the practical skills you’ll need to make a name for yourself in business once you graduate.

    You’ll learn practical leadership, operations management, economic analysis problem solving, communications and decision making skills from expert tutors and industry professionals. 

    This degree program is delivered by Cumbria’s world famous Business School within the Lancaster Campus. That campus also hosts the Centre for Regional Economic Development, where industry, government and Cumbria’s own researchers work to understand and improve the economy of the North of England. That means you’ll be learning from and in many cases working with the people who have their fingers on the pulse of business and industry in the UK.
