Summary

This dynamic and wide-ranging programme is suitable for graduates of all disciplines and is a fantastic platform to launch or progress your business career at a top business school.

You’ll benefit from a detailed insight into many areas of business, from strategy to operations and from marketing to accounting. You’ll also gain key leadership and management skills. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to go into a variety of roles for a range of organisations, including international companies and those operating in the voluntary and community sectors.

You will graduate with essential core business skills, enabling you to think critically about business strategy, understand the corporate skills of management, understand the key mechanisms behind the concepts of management, and gain an in-depth knowledge of vital areas of business, such as finance and marketing. Throughout the course you will be supported by lecturers who can translate their knowledge into the teaching experience, and help build your skills, getting you ready for the business world.

Improving our students’ learning experience and wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do, and that is why we are implementing an innovative learning approach known as block teaching. This will enhance our students’ educational journey and emotional wellbeing.

The benefits of block teaching are numerous: it supports a balanced study-life experience, reduces the stress of multitasking across various subjects, and fosters a better understanding of each topic by concentrating on it fully. Students are more engaged, motivated, and resilient, which can lead to better learning outcomes and a healthier environment.

How you will learn In addition to learning key theories and concepts, you'll engage in practical activities to deepen your understanding of the subject area. These include a variety of hands-on activities, such as case studies, business simulations and skills workshops, where you can apply what you've learnt to solve commercial problems. We also utilise technology, including gamification and augmented reality, to enhance student engagement. This applied approach not only improves your understanding but also enhances your employability.

Our online learning platform supports your studies with all the necessary digital resources, including lecture slides, access to e-books and online journals, and video recordings of teaching sessions. Additionally, your lecturers will be available for one-to-one support to help you with any challenging topics.

In the Aston Global Advantage module, you will gain a competitive edge by honing your professional skills and preparing for success in a fast-paced global environment. You will tackle real-world challenges, dive into entrepreneurship and work on team-based business simulations.

At the start of your course, you will be allocated a personal tutor who can offer individual study advice and guidance. You will also benefit from access to the University Library's extensive collection of over 25,000 books and electronic journals.

Our postgraduate programmes use a block learning structure. Block teaching condenses traditional semester-long courses into focused, consecutive blocks of learning. The ethos is to give students more time to engage with their learning by studying one subject at a time, instead of several at once.
