Undergraduate Courses in Business, Finance and Law
Business management

Salford Business School offers a practical university education. We will prepare your child for a future career where abilities with digital technology, creative thinking and soft skills are as important as subject knowledge.

Studying with us, your child will enhance their professional expertise by networking with our industry partners, applying knowledge during work placements, and accessing various hands-on opportunities. We'll also support them in developing the soft skills employers are looking for, including teamwork, communication, leadership, technology and ethical practice. 

Business management is a fascinating and varied area to work in. Wherever a student's interest lies, we have a programme to nurture their passion and challenge them. Career opportunities are growing across the sector, and good digital skills are consistently identified as being in short supply. Our programmes consider how technology is changing the way we work and creating new job opportunities, and will prepare your child for a successful career.
