All our courses are designed to focus on giving you the real-life skills to make a difference in your future careers. Through the range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses on offer, you will be challenged to think independently, to find solutions and to work as a team. You will need to make real decisions about how you would react in given situations and will focus on those issues that impact on practitioners in your field of study on an everyday basis. These courses are developed to make you career ready, or to take the next step in your career.
Our degrees are widely recognised by professional bodies, the world of business and commerce, as well as the public sector. But this isn’t just about your future career. It is also about how you will shape your life as a human being, about how these courses will lead you to question the decisions you make, what are the best steps forward, and how to reflect on what others have discovered and learned by experience. This will, in turn, impact on your own learning. It will change the way you think, the way you solve problems, and the way in which you use the strengths of all those around you.
The team at the Bristol Institute of Business and Management are ready to welcome you. They are ready to challenge you, to insist that you are brave in your decision making and learning, and to provide you with all the support you need every step of the way.
