Entry Requrement

A strong proficiency in Mathematics is required. If not taken as an A level, a grade 7 (or grade A) in Mathematics at GCSE is required. We welcome the Core Mathematics Qualification and accept a grade 5 minimum (or grade B) in lieu of our GCSE Mathematics requirement.

A level offer – AAB

BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma/OCR Cambridge Technical Extended Diploma – DDD

IB Diploma score – 36 With 665 in higher level subjects. If Mathematics is not taken at higher level, then it is required at standard level 5.

In addition to satisfying the University’s general entry requirements, please note:

  • We consider each application holistically, on an individual basis and against the other applications we receive. Whilst academic achievement is important, it is not the only factor that we consider when assessing applications and applicants who have achieved, or are predicted to achieve, close to our typical offer, but who have not met it exactly, will be welcome to apply if they have a strong application in other key elements, for example if they can demonstrate merit and potential through their personal statement or their reference.

  • We welcome applications from those with other qualifications equivalent to our standard entry requirements and from mature students with non-standard qualifications, please email us for more information.

  • We are willing to consider applications for deferred entry from those who have well- structured plans for work or travel, for example. We may, however, need to restrict the number of deferred entry offers we make because we have to be careful not to fill too many of next year’s places in advance. However, if you do apply for a deferred place and are unsuccessful, you are welcome to reapply the following year.

  • You are welcome to apply if you are taking resits; we do not make higher offers to students who declare resits.

  • If you do not satisfy our general entry requirements, the Foundation Centre offers multidisciplinary degrees to prepare you for a range of specified degree courses.

English Requrement

a. IELTS: 6.5 (no component under 6.0)

b. TOEFL iBT (internet based test) and TOEFL iBT Home Edition: 92 (no component under 23)

c. Cambridge Proficiency (CPE): Grade C

d. Cambridge Scale (CAE or CPE): 176 (minimum of 169 per component)

Thông tin khóa học

  • Quantitative Methods

Year 2

  • Managing in a Global Environment

  • Principles of Business Law

Year 3

All of our degrees offer you the option of spending your third year gaining practical experience on a business placement. Business placements are a great way to develop your employment marketability and to engage with employers early in their recruitment pipeline. We actively encourage you to explore this as an option within your degree. A placement requires a minimum of forty weeks of work experience and the placement begins in the summer following completion of the second year, and this then becomes the third year of a four-year degree programme. This allows you to really explore and understand your job and to find out if the career or company is for you.

  • You will develop your practical skills, confidence and maturity.

  • You can focus on a specific career path - many employers recruit graduates from their placement programme.

  • You will be able to contextualise your studies better, be more mature in your attitude to work.

  • You may decide to draw on your working experiences and access a more fulfilling dissertation research subject.

  • You will gain invaluable job search and graduate research skills by engaging in the competitive placement recruitment process.

To ensure you are getting the most out of your experience, we support your placement in a number of ways:

First Year Bootcamps and Workshops help you to develop your Placement Strategy and to identify and develop those skills and competencies that will be critical to ensure you are attractive to potential placement employers. These typically involve Employers, Placement Mentors, representatives from Colleges, Societies and the Volunteering Community in Durham.

Second Year Workshops support you through the placement application process and allow you to develop into a supportive student group to travel along the road of gaining a placement together. They enable you to get to know those students who will return with you in the fourth year. Workshops typically involve employers, and former placement students.

The DUBS Placement Programme includes a series of employer-led events which take place throughout term 1 and 2 and is open to all first year and second year placement students. The skills sessions and networking events allow students to develop essential employability skills as well as providing valuable insight into the recruitment process.

Placement Mentors: We have a mentorship scheme whereby former placement students share their experiences of the application process and placement with first and second year students and those out on placement. . If you become a placement mentor on your return to University you can continue to develop your interpersonal skills and slide back into your University life with another key role which may well develop a new sense of belonging as well as another valuable contribution to your CV

Placement Tutors: Whilst you are on placement you are assigned a tutor who will visit you, liaise with your employer and ensure you gain the most from your experience.

The Business Placement year fees are set annually by the University.  For the definitive amount of the Business Placement year fees payable please contact our Placement Team.

The offer of a place on a ‘with placement’ degree does not imply that Durham University Business School guarantees to find you a placement. The Business School, in association with the University, will assist you in finding and applying for placements, but it is your responsibility to apply for and to obtain a placement (which is subject to approval by the Business School). In the event that you are unable to obtain a placement, transfer to the equivalent ‘non-placement’ degree is guaranteed provided you are eligible to transfer on academic grounds. In line with Home Office rules, is you are from outside the EU you will transfer onto the ‘with business placement’ degree only once you have successfully secured a placement (normally at the end of your second year of study). Therefore due to visa requirements, we recommend that if you are an international student interested in the business placement year you apply for this programme when making your application to us via UCAS.

Year 4

Moving to a more research-led teaching orientation in the fourth year, you are required to produce a double module Dissertation in area of accounting and management. Additionally, you will study three compulsory modules exploring:

  • Contemporary Issues in Accounting

  • Contemporary Issues in Management Research

  • Financial Planning and Control

And choose one module from a selection which in previous years have included, for example:

  • Corporate Governance

  • Strategic Management

  • Corporate Responsibility

  • Islamic Economics and Finance

  • A foreign language

We review course structures and core content (in light of e.g. external and student feedback) every year, and will publish finalised core requirements for 2020 entry from September 2019.
