Innovating Retail Businesses | Succeeding in a post-Covid world

The pandemic has hit many business sectors hard, with UK consumer survey respondents (Alvarez and Marsal) stating that they’re spending 36% less (on average) on products. With retail businesses in such seeming dire straits, we believe one of the best ways you can ensure future career success is through our Business Management (Retail) BSc course.

Statistics such as these can be demotivating, but they don’t need to be. The time for innovation and new ways of doing things has arrived, and some say it’s long overdue. Mike George (Chairman of the National Retail Federation) has said “We’ve done things in weeks that would have taken years to do in normal circumstances.”

At the University of Bolton, our Business Management (Retail) BSc course gives you the knowledge to understand the retail sector, and the skills to be a part of the solution. The University has a great reputation for both Teaching Quality (#5 in the UK, The Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020). We also ranked #1 in the North West for Student Satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2021, 2020, 2019).
