　Accounting is concerned with the production and reporting of financial information for both external and internal purposes, in order to assist decision-making by managers, investors and other interested members of society. Finance is concerned with corporate decisions involving the supply and best use of funds, considering cost and risk as well as the resulting value of the firm. Both disciplines specialise not only in the application of numerical techniques, but in the interpretation and communication of financial information.

　The BA (Hons) in Business Management is a full-time, three-year general business degree, with the option to take an extended work placement element at the end of the second year. You will follow a broad management and business programme, rather than specialise in one business area. However, after completing the core foundation modules at Level One, there is the opportunity to transfer to another more specialist course if you wish.
　The distinction between the Business Studies(BABS) and the Business Management (BABM) is, first, that the work placement is compulsory on BABS and, second, that students on BABS have to pursue their studies of all the main business functions into Level Two, whereas students on BABM may choose to start specialising in their area of interest at this stage. Also, the modules in Quantitative Methods and Decision Making play a more prominent part in the BABS course than in BABM.
