BSc Business Management (logistik och drift)

Detta är ett treårigt heltidsprogram, bestående av 120 poäng per år. Alla studenter, oavsett väg, tar ett gemensamt årskurs 1, vilket inte räknas till den slutliga examensklassificeringen. I slutet av årskurs 1 har du möjlighet att antingen stanna kvar med BSc Business Management (Logistics and Operations)-examen eller att flytta till något av de andra Business Management-programmen om du har utvecklat ett intresse för ett annat område.

In Years 2 and 3, compulsory modules are determined by the choice of route but you also choose optional modules from an approved list enabling you to further tailor the degree to your interests.

The modules shown are an example of the typical curriculum and will be reviewed before the 2024/2025 academic year. The final modules will be published by September 2024.

Optional Modules for Year Three

The University is committed to providing a wide range of module options where possible, but please be aware that whilst every effort is made to offer choice this may be limited in certain circumstances. This is because some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
