When I accepted my offer to study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/courses\/ba-business-management\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/study\/undergraduate\/courses\/ba-business-management\/\">BA Business and Management<\/a> at York, I wanted a degree that was practical yet would challenge me, while still offering support. Now that I\u2019m halfway through my second year, I can honestly say that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ve experienced. In this post, I want to share what the course has been like for me, what a typical week looks like, and a few things I wish I\u2019d known before starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1527.jpg\" alt=\"Central Hall at twilight with blue lights reflecting on the water below.\" class=\"wp-image-35020\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why I Chose Business and Management at York<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I picked Business and Management at York because I wanted a course that mixes practical skills with real\u2011world experience. York stood out because it doesn\u2019t treat business as something separate,\u00a0it links it to society, ethics, and real\u2011life impact. I really liked that approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campus, the college system, and the overall atmosphere made it feel like a place where I could grow both academically and personally. I also liked that the course covers a wide range of business areas, which gave me space to figure out what I\u2019m most interested in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_0930.jpeg\" alt=\"A student ambassador in a blue hoodie holding a Langwith College sign on a campus walkway.\" class=\"wp-image-35018\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Surprised Me About the Course<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I expected the course to be very lecture\u2011heavy, but it turned out to be much more interactive. Seminars and workshops make up a big part of the learning, and you\u2019re encouraged to question ideas, discuss concepts with your group, and apply theory to real\u2011life examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The staff are also incredibly approachable. If you\u2019re unsure about something, they genuinely want to help you understand it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_0492-2.jpg\" alt=\"A historic stone church lit up at dusk beside a red\u2011brick building with a Barclays sign.\" class=\"wp-image-35021\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Modules I\u2019ve Enjoyed the Most<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few modules have really stood out for me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Marketing Principles &amp; Practice<\/strong>\u00a0was relative, engaging, and full of real\u2011world case studies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Organisational Behaviour<\/strong>\u00a0helped me understand how people work in teams and what motivates them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business Accounting<\/strong> is surprisingly satisfying once you get the hang of it; it\u2019s logical and teaches genuinely useful skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teaching style in the School for Business and Society is very collaborative. Lectures cover the main ideas, and seminars bring those ideas to life through discussion and group work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What a Typical Week Looks Like<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I usually have around 10 contact hours spread across the week. The rest of my time is a mix of independent study, reading, group meetings, and my part\u2011time job. Having a routine helps me manage everything without feeling overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My favourite study spots are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Library<\/strong>\u00a0is perfect for quiet, focused work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Link Caf\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0is great for lighter reading or meeting friends for group projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I try to get most of my work done during the day so I can relax in the evenings. Swimming and hiking are my favourite ways to switch off \u2014 they really help me clear my mind, especially during busy weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2.jpg?resize=726%2C1024\" alt=\"The front of York Art Gallery with a statue in the foreground and an empty stone fountain.\" class=\"wp-image-35022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2-scaled.jpg?resize=726%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 726w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2-scaled.jpg?resize=213%2C300&amp;ssl=1 213w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1083&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1089%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1089w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1453%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1453w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1186-2-scaled.jpg?w=1816&amp;ssl=1 1816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Group Work: Challenging but Worth It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Group work can definitely be challenging. Everyone has different working styles, and coordinating schedules isn\u2019t always easy. But when it comes together, the results are often better than what any one person could do alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s taught me a lot about communication, patience, and teamwork. Even when it feels tough, there\u2019s usually a sense of accomplishment at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studying Business and Management at York has been a mix of challenges, learning moments, and personal growth. The course pushes you to think about real\u2011world problems, not just textbook examples, and the support from staff makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m proud of how much more confident I\u2019ve become, especially with presentations and group discussions. Balancing uni, work, and my hobbies has shown me I\u2019m more capable than I thought, and I\u2019m excited to see how the rest of the course shapes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"935\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2.jpg?resize=935%2C1024\" alt=\"Clifford\u2019s Tower on a grassy hill covered in blooming yellow daffodils under a bright sky.\" class=\"wp-image-35023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2-scaled.jpg?resize=935%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 935w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2-scaled.jpg?resize=274%2C300&amp;ssl=1 274w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C841&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1403%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1403w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1870%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1870w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/03\/img_1282-2-scaled.jpg?w=2000 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0Read more\u00a0student stories from the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/category\/study\/business-society\/\">School for Business and Society at York.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting university is a big deal, and choosing the right course can feel even more overwhelming.
