Business School: What Business students ACTUALLY learn at uni?

Hi folks,

Many wonder what a day-to-day will look like if you pick Business, Marketing or Management courses. So, we have a real example from DMU recently.

Students visited a company called Morgan Motor, they hand-built cars in the UK, and it was a very information tour understanding how a business survives long-term by sticking to its values. You will understand how branding drives competitive advantage, operations, and decision-making.

This is the kind of thing that helps answer the interview questions such as “tell me about a business you admire”

Furthermore, we also offer BizSpark, where students learn to work on real life business problems. This practical way of studying the course has enabled some students to create their own apps. Hikind and KindHours, which focuses on accessibility and wellbeing.

However, studying business courses isn't about ‘let’s start a business. It provides you with an opportunity to try ideas in a safe space, to understand the tools needed to run a business, and the various operational elements that you can support after graduating:call2:

Therefore, when choosing a uni for Business courses, it’s worth checking if the university provides support after graduating, mentoring, opportunities to work with real-life businesses, career guidance, interview support, etc.

Happy to answer more intel on our business courses! Wish you all the best with your application😊
