Overview of Course

This course provides the practical skills and conceptual understanding required for managing in organisations. It will help you gain personal and management skills throughout your studies and in dedicated skills-related modules to help build your professional profile. As well as gaining an understanding of the world of business and management through practical case studies on a range of international organisations, you’ll also acquire research skills using academic and industry focused texts, articles and reports.

All modules are strongly career-focused and have been designed with industry experts. All the basic functional areas that are deemed to comprise the business discipline namely Marketing, Operations, Accounting, HRM, Business Strategy, Economics, and other Contemporary Issues are included and their relevance to the context of rapid contemporary change is covered in-depth. Therefore, in order to enrol in this degree, you don’t need to have a chosen career path in mind. However, when you graduate from this programme, you’ll do so as a well-rounded, highly employable and self-motivated individual ready to enter the work industry, in whichever pathway you choose.

Assesment for Course

Assessment takes a variety of forms, including essays and reports, portfolios, individual and group presentations (individually assessed), case studies, research proposals and exams. Many of the assessments tend to be focused on employability thus tend to be based on real case studies, project work, and other employability focused activities. Most units include elements of individual and group work to reflect the type of work undertaken in business and management. Assessment focuses on tasks that develop vocational skills, underpinned by subject knowledge, requiring higher levels of cognition in the later years of the course. Assessment becomes more nuanced and more demanding in Levels 5 & 6 with the expectation that students will be increasingly able to create their own subject specific knowledge.
