The BA (Hons) Business Management course provides you with three pathways: Business Management, Business Management with Finance and Business Management with Marketing. No matter which one you choose, you will enjoy an academic experience with strong emphasis on development of business knowledge, skills and capabilities relevant to an ever evolving professional environment. The course will help you develop an enquiring, critical and reflective approach to ideas and issues and will enable you to pursue a successful career in the public or private sector, in business related professions or in setting up your own business. During the course, you will also develop a range of intellectual and professional attributes as well as transferable skills such as problem-solving, research, critical and creative thinking, team working and communication that will all assist you in gaining employment and adding value to an organisation. You will also get critical understanding of diversity in business practice, culture, social responsibility and ethics.

How you will study

You will attend lectures, interactive classroom activities and seminars. There will also be visits from speakers in the form of guest lectures, as well as workshops and practical sessions. You will take part in activities such as problem-solving exercises, cooperative student projects, informal group work, simulations, case studies and role playing. All of these activities involve higher order thinking and development of transferable graduate-level skills.

You will be encouraged to learn independently throughout your studies. This may be in the form of case analysis/briefing, literature review, or research to support your assignments and projects.

As an international student at WIUT, my experience was indeed very productive. Not only were we provided with theoretical insights in the form of lectures, but also real life case examples and the application of those theories in tutorials. WIUT encompasses a wide ranging student experience that enables you to grow both professionally and socially. The WIUT MUN, for instance, is one of the finest in Central Asia and signifies diversity and inclusion. These are values that WIUT strives for and instills in its students, thus the WIUT experience is one that will transform you into a viable professional, equipped with the skills to succeed in the corporate world.

Saying that Westminster has changed my life would be an understatement. I studied Business Administration which encompassed all spheres of business like marketing, finance, HR, etc. Consequently, it made me comfortable in all areas that business can be part of i.e. versatile. University helped me to develop my leadership skills, interpersonal skills, research, creativity and discipline. My approach towards work has always been different from other employees, they always highlight my passion, enthusiasm and work ethics towards the job I'm doing. It’s a pleasure to hear someone say “The company you’re working for has become so much better after you. I can see the changes”. The thing that WIUT embraced in me is differentiation.
