Business Management and Geography

About this programme

Businesses must prioritise sustainability, no matter their sector or size. Progressing towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is essential for protecting people and the planet—and future leaders like you will help make it happen. Our BA Business and Geography with a Foundation Year begins with essential business-focused study, equipping you with the skills needed for degree-level learning. Passing this year guarantees your place on the BA Business and Geography programme, where you'll explore the relationship between business, sustainability, and environmental impact. Oxford Brookes was one of the first universities to embed responsible management into its business courses. You'll connect business challenges with environmental risks, studying business problems through a sustainability lens while analysing the geographic and social effects of climate change. With field trips, guest speakers, and an optional placement year, you’ll gain real-world insights and hands-on experience—preparing you for careers in multinational businesses, charities, government, and beyond. We’re signed up to the UN’s Principles for Responsible Management Education so you can be confident you will learn business the right way. Across the course you will interact with different businesses and business leaders. You'll have the opportunity to go on work placement with the likes of BMW or IBM. Gain an understanding of both business management and geography, drawing on expertise from both the Business School and the School of Social Sciences.
