Graduates with a broad knowledge base in finance, marketing, management, and economics are well-placed to embrace opportunities in a range of exciting business contexts. Business Studies at Lincoln combines elements of all of these disciplines. It offers students the opportunity to develop the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills needed to enter the competitive world of business. The course takes an international perspective to help prepare students for the global nature of modern business practice, offering the opportunity to specialise in areas of particular interest and acquire workplace experience. The University of Lincoln is proud of its approach to nurturing entrepreneurialism in its students. Lecturers and visiting practitioners provide insights into current practice and global issues, while real-life projects help challenge students to develop problem-solving skills. As part of this course, students can choose a one-year work placement following the second year. They are expected to source their own paid placement, and tutors can provide support during the process if required. Students who successfully complete their studies with a year on work placement will receive the award title BA (Hons) Business Studies (with Work Placement). Those who do not will receive a BA (Hons) Business Studies award, or equivalent exit award. There are no tuition fees for the work placement year, but students will need to pay for their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs.
