About this course

This programme combines ATHE UK's Level 4 and Level 5 extended diplomas in business and management, and BIMT lists it under its Higher National Diploma programmes. ATHE UK is the awarding body. Two delivery patterns are published: a full-time route, Monday to Friday, over 12 months, and a part-time route on Saturdays and Sundays over 18 months. The 16 units start with the business environment, financial and management accounting techniques for managers, people in organisations, communication skills for business, resource management and the marketing mix. Later units include corporate social responsibility, entrepreneurship, business organisations in a global context, people management, finance for managers, a research project, marketing principles and practice, managing sustainability, information for strategic decision-making and business ethics. BIMT describes the structure as connected across units, with study skills and employability skills built in.
