How can the businesses of tomorrow function better ? What is the best way for organisations to manage their resources and break into new markets ?

You can opt to study for an honours degree over four years or an ordinary degree over three years .
Modules
A degree in Business Management has been offered by QMU for decades . We regularly review course content and options to ensure students are provided with an up-to-date learning experience which is relevant to current trends in business management . At the time of print ( March 2022 ) we have not yet confirmed all final modules for each named route for 2023 entry . This information will be posted on the course entry on our website when available .
Careers
You will already be employed , so you won ’ t suddenly hit the job market like most graduates do . You will be able to take the theoretical understanding you have learnt in your degree and apply it directly to challenges in your workplace . From there , your goal will be to use your new skills to step your career up to the next level .
Why QMU ?
• Learn the higher level management skills that tomorrow ’ s companies will need , and consolidate that knowledge with real-life work experience .
• We use a range of innovative teaching methods from work-based learning to an online virtual learning environment , which will support the GA course .
• Your learning fits around your work commitments .
