Business Management and Geography

Businesses need to prioritise sustainability, whatever sector they’re in, whatever their size, wherever they are in the world. Making progress towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals is key for protecting people and the planet – and it’s up to future leaders like you to make it happen.

Oxford Brookes was one of the first universities to embed responsible management in our business courses. Combining your study with geography, you’ll prepare to become a change maker, whether that’s within an organisation or working with businesses to help them make a difference.

We'll challenge you to make connections between environmental risks and business activity. In business modules, you’ll look at business problems and responsibilities through a sustainability lens. At the same time, you’ll explore the geographic and social impact of climate change.

From field trips to a placement year, you won’t be short of opportunities to boost your employability. You’ll find our graduates in a range of roles at multinational businesses, charities, governments, and more.

With this degree on your CV, you’ll be able to show employers you understand the practices of business and management as well as the issues around environmental change, globalisation, urbanisation, and sustainability.

Our graduates go in a range of different directions. You might apply your skills to roles in:

• environmental management
• conservation
• leisure and tourism
• consultancy
• geography teaching.

Many of our students go on to graduate training schemes in international companies such as Aldi, AC Nielsen, IBM, Virgin Mobile, Intel, Yell, O2 and Dell. Our graduates find they’re also a great match for roles in advertising, banking, the Civil Service, the arts and media, and services management.
