The Business Management BA (Hons) Top-up Level 6 is awarded by the University of Derby and is designed to provide an excellent progression route and develop the knowledge you’ve already gained on your HND or Foundation Degree in business with a further stage of study which results in a full honours degree.
Gain valuable knowledge on the global and strategic management issues, with a focus on the specialist areas of management and leadership. Engage with current case studies and examples, benefit from guest lectures from industry speakers and professional bodies, and develop the skills employers look for in graduate employees to prepare for the workplace – from report writing and analysis through to presentation skills.
As a University of Derby partner student, you will have access to the university’s virtual learning environment, including University of Derby Online (UDO) and online journals and texts, as well as library facilities.
The Business Management BA (Hons) Top-up Level 6 is a progression route from the Leadership and Management HND Level 5.
CSA offers all Level 4 to Level 6 programmes through face-to-face teaching supported by online materials and support. This gives you the best of both online and on-campus study. You’ll spend a day and a half on campus enjoying the benefits of engaging, hands-on activities during face-to-face sessions. Our flexible approach is ideal if you’re balancing work, family or other commitments but still want to progress in higher education and develop your career.
Online and On Campus – the best of both worlds
Online, you’ll join live, interactive evening sessions from home using your laptop or tablet which will offer you further group and individual support. Each session lasts around two hours (with a break) and includes discussions, activities and plenty of opportunities to get involved. You’ll also have access to practice questions, downloadable lesson materials, digital resources and case studies to support your learning.
At CSA, we’re committed to supporting you throughout your journey. During on-campus sessions, you’ll meet regularly with lecturers or tutors who will revisit what you’ve studied online, answer your questions and offer guidance and feedback. You’ll also work with classmates in a friendly, supportive environment that brings key ideas to life.
To make the most of your studies, we recommend setting aside 3–6 hours of independent study each week. With a combination of guided contact time and flexible self-study, you’ll experience a learning model designed to fit your life and help you succeed.
