The big questions

Will a business management degree get me the skills I need for a job?

A business management degree gives you broad, in-demand skills that open up many career paths. Employers value skills such as leadership, finance, marketing and strategy expertise.

Sheffield Hallam’s business management courses will help you build a flexible, career-ready skillset suited to today’s non-linear job market. You could become a business consultant, project manager, HR specialist, marketing manager or entrepreneur. Placements and real-world projects add to your employability – and 95% of our business school graduates are in work or further study within 15 months (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2022/23).

Why study business management at Sheffield Business School?

Our business management courses stand out for their friendly learning environment, small class sizes and the flexibility to move between courses - all while developing the real-world skills employers are looking for. You’ll be challenged through assessments based on practical, real-world tasks, and we’ll help your CV stand out with placements, study abroad, language learning, and much, much more.

Can I focus on a particular area of interest?

Yes, you can tailor your degree by choosing specialist routes or keeping it broad before focusing later.

At Sheffield Hallam, our business management courses include the option to study pure business management, which begins with a wide foundation before letting you specialise in areas such as law, psychology or finance. You’ll also have the chance to shape your learning further through sector-focused modules and tailored placement opportunities.
