Professor Yvonne Moogan, Director of the University of Bradford’s School of Management, said: “Come to us as we are friendly and, being a small campus, we get to know all of our students as people and not as numbers since we care and support all of our learners. Our staff are truly global and experienced academics.”
More on the Business and Management programme
One of the programmes available through Clearing is BSc (Hons) Business and Management. The four-year full-time programme, which starts in September 2025, includes a placement year, taken in year three, which helps to develop the students’ confidence and employability.
In the first year, students learn more about areas including accounting, marketing, business economics and operations and information systems management.
BREE success
At the heart of the University’s School of Management, one of the first business schools in the country, is the Bradford-Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem (BREE), a £2.5m initiative to help nurture business start-ups, is open to students and the public and offers cash grants and business mentoring for entrepreneurs.
One of BREE’s success stories is I-Diagnose, the brainchild of physician associate Aaron Walshaw and pharmacists Sania Bibi, both former Bradford students, who developed their idea through the University’s Accelerated Student Entrepreneurship Programmes (ASEP).
Aaron said: “The support from the University of Bradford has been instrumental on our journey.”
Interactive assessments
All of the course’s assessments are interactive, with the School running a Career Booster Programme, available to all students in the Faculty of Management, Law & Social Sciences.
The Programme includes two, week-long sessions of more than 60 workshops, masterclasses, webinars, presentations, lectures and panel sessions which are all free for students. It provides students with transferrable skills to maximise their employability.

Graduates from the School of Management go on to thrive in a wide range of careers, from traditional roles in Economics, Accounting and Business Management to cutting-edge opportunities in AI and digital sectors.
