This is a four year sandwich honours degree designed for Hastings campus

Students will be interviewed on application (via UCAS) but we are looking at BTEC National Dip/Cert Level 3 D D M or ABB at A level or IB 32 points with 16 at Higher level.

Mature applicants are welcome and each application will be assessed individually on their own experience & motivation

The course focusses on how you learn and how business problems are tackled – this is not taught through a series of lectures and seminars but through workshops, problem-solving task groups, digital resources and personal tutorials.

The main route to this degree involves three years of study and one year on business placement (third year).

Graduates can expect to apply for employment or start their own businesses with a strong background in developing, promoting and implementing new business ideas
