On Claverton Down, the hill above Bath's Georgian terraces, the School of Management has a newer building of its own on the university campus. Its undergraduate degrees are built around a year-long placement, which many students spend at large firms in London or abroad. Postgraduates come mostly for one-year MSc programmes in management, finance, marketing and analytics, or for the full-time MBA.
