7 Reasons Why You Should Study Business and Management at UCEN Manchester

Tutor Rochelle Martinez explains why our Business & Management courses regularly lead to rewarding career opportunities for our students. In fact, research shows, business and management course graduates have some of the lowest levels of unemployment.  

As a Tutor/Lecturer on the UCEN Manchester Business and Management programmes, I’m often asked what we do differently from other Higher Education Institutions. 

In answering this question, I’ll refer to some of the frequent comments made by our existing students, alumni and staff members. 

7 reasons why UCEN is the best business and management course provider

1. Flexible learning programmes

Our curriculum offers learners the freedom to commit to  full-time or part-time studies alongside their employment, and we aim to consolidate teaching hours across two consecutive days (where possible). This is especially useful for students with children and students who may need to work around their studies. 

There’s a strong emphasis on combining theoretical knowledge with real-world practice and application throughout our curriculum offer.  

With this, we encourage learners to take up at least part-time employment alongside their studies as well as incorporating in class group discussion and practical examples to apply knowledge.  

Learners are also supported by our Future U Careers and Welfare team, who assist learners in acquiring relevant and valuable work experience when needed.   

2. Tutors experienced in the sector 

Another reason students enjoy studying with us is that we can share work experience insights with them. That’s because our staff are experts in their fields and hold a varied range of professional and industry experience.  

Our support and dedication ensure you are guided, supported and encouraged to learn and achieve within Business and Management. 

Learners also enjoy excellent wrap-around support provided by our dedicated FutureU colleagues, who offer services as diverse as proof-reading assignments to careers advice. 

3. Rewarding career opportunities

Our business management courses enables learners to progress into several career options, in areas such as human resource management, sales and marketing, and finance.  

Learning the fundamentals of business management provides our students a broad understanding of the business world from managing people, marketing principles, operations, and strategic planning. 

As an example, one of our Business Management students, Makile Moyana, secured a role at an investment firm just a couple of weeks after finishing studying with us.   

This isn’t unique either; many of our students get in touch with tutors after they’ve graduated with updates on their career successes and requests for employment references.  

4. Emphasis on practical skills

We equip our students with the in-demand skills necessary for success in today's dynamic business world. Our curriculum emphasises critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and leadership skills.  

Students gain hands-on experience with industry-standard software like Microsoft Office Suite, project management tools and data analysis software.  

To bridge the gap between theory and practice, we regularly invite industry professionals to share their expertise through guest lectures. Also, students get to engage in real-world projects with local businesses, providing valuable practical experience and valuable industry connections. 

5. Commitment to student support

At UCEN Manchester, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive support to our students throughout their academic journey. Our small class sizes foster a close-knit learning environment, enabling personalised attention from tutors and strong student-teacher relationships.  

Students have access to a wide range of support services, including academic advice, career advice, financial aid and mental health support.  

The vibrant student union plays a crucial role in enhancing the student experience, offering opportunities for extracurricular activities, social events and student representation.
