Single Honours in Business and Management

Joint Honours in Business and Management and another subject

There are no compulsory courses.  Students may choose to take a Dissertation in Business and Management or their other subject.  If completing a Business and Management Dissertation, students must take the Management Research Methods course in Year 3.

Principal Honours in Business and Management with a subsidiary language

Students on this programme spend Year 3 abroad as part of the language component of the degree.

Exchange programme

For Single and Joint Honours students, Glasgow has lots of partnership agreements, which allow students to spend a year of their degree, or one semester, at an overseas university – either in Europe or further afield.  Most students who choose to go abroad do so in their third year but it’s also an option for the second year.  Spending time abroad has many advantages in terms of broadening your horizons, challenging yourself in a different academic environment, enhancing your CV and employment prospects and, perhaps, learning a language.  More information can be found on the University’s Exchange Programme web pages.
