Choosing the right university degree is a critical decision in shaping your career. If you aspire to have a successful career in business management, choosing an accredited degree can provide you with a great advantage. The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) accreditation indicates formal recognition of a university course by the professional body. This guarantees graduates the skills and knowledge to excel in various business roles.

Why choose an accredited business management degree?

  • Boost your employability: Employers often prioritise candidates with industry-relevant qualifications. An accredited degree demonstrates your degree meets professional requirements, making you a highly desirable candidate in a competitive job market.
  • Accelerate your career: Many accredited degrees offer exemptions from professional qualifications, such as the CMI’s Chartered Manager status. This can speed up your career progress, saving you time and money.
  • Gain in-depth industry knowledge: Accredited programmes prioritise up-to-date industry trends and best practices. You'll graduate with a deep understanding of the business world, enabling you to adapt to this ever-evolving industry.
  • Unlock global opportunities: Accreditation often carries international recognition, expanding your career opportunities. You'll be equipped to succeed in various business environments worldwide.
  • Build a powerful network: Accredited programmes often help you to develop connections with industry professionals. These networking opportunities can lead to mentorships, internships, and job placements, broadening your professional circle. BCU's strong focus on employability and opportunities like year-long placements, the Link Agency, and the STEAMhouse ensure you graduate fully prepared for the business world.
