Business & Economics
Curriculum Aims:
By the end of their chosen course within the Business and Economics department, students will be able to analyse real business events and issues to support them within their workplace and other areas of their life.
In order to achieve this, students will obtain knowledge about businesses, but also their place within both the domestic and international economy.
Students will learn core competencies within each functional area within Business, including Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Production.
As a department, our ethos is to ensure the curriculum is accessible by all students.
