Course summary

Business and related subjects (such as the ‘FAME’ group – finance, accounting, management and economics) are among the most popular fields of study worldwide. On this course, students consider business in a variety of contexts (e.g. large/small, UK focused/global, service/manufacturing). The course encourages the practical application of business concepts by exploring events in the business world and relating these to theories and practice. The course is assessed purely by examination and covers topics such as Decision Making, Leadership and Strategy across Finance, Operations, Marketing and Human Resources. Students will also look at the wider influences on businesses, including competitors, legislation, the environment and the economy. In addition, they will have the opportunity to complete group work and conduct independent research ahead of the final year exam, enabling them to develop transferable skills.
