Business Management Top Up

If you already have a good foundation of business and management from your Higher National Diploma (HND) or equivalent qualification, and you are interested in extending your studies to obtain a full degree, this business management top-up course is for you. In this one-year programme you are offered the same opportunities as our current business management students and have the opportunity to specialise in areas of interest for your career pathway.
