Why study at the School of Management?
One of the oldest established business schools in Britain, the
School of Management has a long tradition of excellence in
teaching and research and an international reputation for the
quality of its programmes.
Our academics produce world-class research and teach on our
undergraduate degrees, meaning the content of our programmes
always reflects up-to-date thinking in the management discipline.
The School’s innovative mix of theory and practice in its teaching
are reflected each year in the rankings.
Studying the field of Management involves learning about
organisations and the people who work in them. It is both a
theoretical and practical subject. There are subjects within our
degrees that require creativity and literacy, and there are subjects
that require numeracy and the ability to think logically. By taking a
degree at the School of Management, you will demonstrate your
capacity to use both sides of your brain.
Our degrees will give you access to the latest research into
business and provide you with practical skills of the kind that are
highly valued by employers.
All three of our undergraduate programmes offer you the chance
to work on placement in a real business environment, enabling
you to put your knowledge into practice - a real advantage when
entering the graduate job market.

The IMML degree is cleverly
structured so that there is
not only an equal balance
of language and business
studies, but you also have the
opportunity to learn business
theory in both English and
whichever language you
choose to study, as well as
enhancing your linguistic
capability and learning about
the cultural and historical
background of that country.
During my year abroad,
I spent a full 12 months in
Frankfurt, Germany working
for Continental AG, a worldleading
automotive supplier. It
was a brilliant experience, which not only gave me the chance to
put what I had learnt in my first two years at Bath into practice,
but I also had the chance to immerse myself in the German
language and grow professionally and personally. I had a great
time, made some brilliant friends and I liked it so much, I’m going
back to Germany to start a graduate position there!
