Facilities
You’ll be based in our Business School building which provides state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities.
This impressive facility, set in the heart of the campus, features modern seminar and meeting rooms and social spaces which encourage a more informal and interactive style of learning. During your time at Edge Hill, you’ll also get to enjoy our relaxing, landscaped roof garden and atrium and our impressive 100-seat lecture theatre.
The interactive Bloomberg suite offers real-time market data around the clock which is used by trading floors globally to provide industry insights, company credit information, currency exchange and share prices. This suite provides students with the opportunity to learn how to analyse the markets, assess economic scenarios and interpret key data sets to review how these can impact on trading and the global economy.
When you become a student here, you’ll be allocated a Personal Tutor. They will be your main source of support in your academic department. They’ll be with you as you progress throughout your degree, supporting you in three areas: professional/career-related support, pastoral support and signposting you to information you need. But they aren’t just there when you need support. They are also there to celebrate your successes, help with planning your progress and much more.
The most memorable part of my degree was completing a semester abroad in the United States. It was amazing to experience business in another country and expand my knowledge and skills.
Not everyone goes to university straight from school. Sometimes after a taste of the working world and discovering the right career, it’s an opportunity to use that knowledge to plan your studies. It’s a strategy that’s worked out well for Edge Hill graduate Ben Gill, who now works as a tax advisor at one of the “Big Four” accountancy firms.
My placement at Brownlow Utilities has greatly developed my communication, organisation, teamwork and IT skills. From blending my Accountancy degree with working in a practical environment, I was able to demonstrate professionalism and gained valuable experience that contributes towards securing financial employment.
The University’s reputation for student support and its smaller, more personal learning environment really appealed to me. On top of that, the degree offers exemptions from professional accounting bodies like ACCA and ICAEW.
“My advice to those considering studying at Edge Hill, is to be proactive, be productive, and be open. Learn from your fellow students and stay engaged.”
My degree has opened doors I hadn’t even considered, like internships, leadership roles in student societies, and the chance to connect with professionals in the field. I’m going to be studying abroad, I’ve set up a society and I’m completing an outreach placement.
I love to learn, and what I love most about studying business is how it allows me to explore so many different areas, it’s not just about numbers and strategy. It dips into psychology, sociology, and even ethics
I enjoy the wide variety of career pathways that business management opens. This includes more creative careers such as marketing or more analytical jobs such as finance.
The main opportunity my degree gave me was my application for the University Entrepreneurs Grant. This grant is a highly competitive competition where students across different universities send their business idea to be judged, and the most successful ones present their idea in front of panelists.
Edge Hill University offers exceptional courses and degree courses encompassing numerous industries. Engage fully to maximise the opportunities this will generate.
During my second year of study, I completed a module which ensured that all students had an opportunity to gain valuable first-hand experience in the sector of their choice. Without this module I would not have completed my nine-month paid work placement at ‘Pennington Silver Chartered Accountants’ in Southport.
I had access to a variety of resources through careers such as the opportunity to have a practice interview. This prepared me for interviews with the big four accountancy firms.
