Course Description

Make an impact on global business organisations with the practical skills, industry experience and entrepreneurial spirit you'll gain on our BA/BSc (Hons) Business & Management degree course at UCA Epsom.

This course is designed to make you a world-leading creative professional, preparing you for a range of career opportunities in the creative business sector, and you'll have the opportunity to specialise in one of five industry areas - Fashion, Games, Music, Cosmetics and Beauty or Lifestyle.

As well as the fundamentals of business and management, such as marketing, finance, e-commerce, and accounting, you’ll learn alongside your Business School peers on a range of business bootcamps and, in the second year, elective units that will broaden your horizons.

Your final project forms part of your preparation for a successful career - which will either evolve from your experience working for an organisation or delivered as a business plan or consultancy project.
