The BSc Retail Management course was one of the first of its kind when it was introduced in 1989, and it remains at the forefront of the sector. Equipping you with a combination of specific retail industry knowledge and essential business management skills, our academically rigorous and practically relevant programmes provide you with a thorough education in the art and science of retailing. At Surrey Business School, we’re renowned for our world-class research, dynamic learning environment and strong industry links. You’ll study core business and management topics as well as specialist modules that will develop your understanding of the working realities of retail management and operations. You will learn to apply and evaluate the techniques and frameworks that lie at the heart of successful retailing, while a range of optional modules will give you the opportunity to specialise in areas of particular interest to you. Study tours, guest lectures and regular visits from senior-level graduates now working in the retail industry keep our programme up-to-date, relevant and applicable to real-world business situations. There is great demand for graduates of our BSc Business and Retail Management course.
