Course summary

This option is for anyone with a passion and drive for Business. If you enjoy finding out how the Business world works and want a qualification that will give you skills for your working life then this could be a good option for you.

As part of the qualification you will have to complete at least 40 hours of work placement, which can be done across your course or in one block. The school and department will support you with this to ensure that you can gain enough evidence to complete your coursework.
