The Mediterranean College Business School is one of the first Business Schools to be established in Greece (1977) and the first to offer an MBA, back in 1989. The BA (Hons) Business Management has been designed by the University of Derby, a TOP10 UK University for Management studies, according to the Guardian University Guide, 2020.

Developed in close consultation with the premier UK professional body for managers, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), this course puts you on the fast track to success. It is one of the few where you’ll graduate with a highly regarded BA (Hons) Business Management as well as the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership. With these qualifications on your CV, you’ll signal to prospective employers that you’re suited for senior leadership roles and rapid promotion. The Diploma is the benchmark qualification for full CMI membership and takes you a step towards Chartered Manager status. There is no need to take extra exams or coursework to achieve the Diploma: our combined module and CMI assessments give you a smooth route to both qualifications.

What you will study
All Business Management students study the same modules in the first year, so you’ll gain insights into the major business disciplines. After your first year, you can choose to transfer to one of our specialist pathways, combining Business Management with Marketing, Finance or Shipping.

Through this course you’ll develop your understanding of the external economic & business environment, by discussing recent and relevant case studies. We put emphasis on entrepreneurship so that you’ll know how to start your own business or how to expend it internationally. Up to date digital marketing skills will make you productive from the start of your career, while business ethics will direct your business practice.

We take a ‘scaffolded’ approach to learning, so you’ll have full support in the early stages of your course and can gradually move towards stronger understanding and greater independence. It’s a smooth transition to ease your way into both university-level study and business management practice.
