About our courses

You will be taught through a balanced mix of conventional lectures, small groups, project teams, and one-to-one tutorials.

Our teaching is underpinned by internationally recognised research and benefits from contributions by leading practitioners from industry. As one of the first business schools to sign up to the UN’s Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), our commitment to sustainable business practice is evident and integrated into all our programmes.

You will have many opportunities to broaden your skills and experience by attending talks and workshops, gaining new networks and by taking part in community projects, programmes and competitions while studying at Nottingham University Business School.

Assessment

Methods of assessment vary, with some modules assessed by formal exam, some by coursework and some by a combination of both. The nature of coursework also varies and includes individual essays, group and individual projects, case studies and assessed presentations

We actively seek to develop your practical business, leadership and management skills through a range of professional development programmes.

Increasingly, graduates are required to be cloud and data-ready for the workplace with 66% of employers wanting to see graduates achieve professional qualifications as well as their main degree (CMI 21st Century leaders report). The school works with some of the world’s leading business software providers including SAP and Microsoft, offering the option to take their globally recognised professional digital qualifications alongside your course. Our Digital Centre of Excellence will support you so that you can develop the digital skills necessary to pursue your chosen career and stand out to future employers.

Placement year

A placement year is available to the majority of undergraduate students studying at Nottingham University Business School, allowing you to gain essential industry experience before graduating.

Our Professional and Academic Development module and strong support from our Careers Service ensure you are well prepared and help connect you with top employers, including Unilever, IBM, Atos, GSK, PWC, and Aldi. Find out more about placements here.

I learned to work in a pressured environment, which was overwhelming at first, but I got used to it. I now have a better understanding of what role I’d like to be in, and I’m much better equipped to apply for graduate jobs and have much more confidence. Chelsea Harwood, BSc Management

Graduate outcomes

Graduates from the Business School are highly sought after in the job market, going on to work in accountancy, banking and other financial services. Many others develop careers in management consultancy, marketing and human resource management.

Recent graduates have gone on to work at organisations such as Accenture, Amazon, Apple, Barclays, Deloitte, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Morgan Stanley, PwC, RBS, Samsung, and Santander.

90.7% of business graduates were in sustained employment, further study or both five years after graduation. These graduates earned a median salary of £50,000 (LEO data from 2022/23 tax year, published in 2025).

On our courses (except BSc Accountancy), you can apply to spend up to a year studying abroad at the university's campuses in China or Malaysia, or a semester at one of our partner institutions in locations such as Australia, Sweden and the USA.

You will get the opportunity to broaden your horizons and enhance your employability by experiencing another culture. You can choose to study similar modules to your counterparts back in Nottingham or expand your knowledge by taking other options. Teaching is typically in English; however, there may be opportunities to study in another language if you are sufficiently fluent.

BSc International Management students will spend their second year at the university's campuses in China or Malaysia, or at one of our partner institutions in locations such as Australia, Sweden and the USA. This is dependent upon satisfactory performance and subject to availability.

Offers are usually made without interview. Please note that students with non-standard entry qualifications, including mature students, may be invited for an interview.

We follow the university's flexible admissions policy and take educational and personal circumstances into consideration.
