Business

This degree is designed to fast-track careers of non- business graduates who otherwise may not have gained an entry into management in, specifically, multinational organisations.

We train non-business graduates in the broad, core aspects of business management whilst allowing for a deepening of ability in specific areas, with a focus on the international community.

Students are expected to develop the skills and in-depth understanding of business to become a productive employee of any organisation. Knowledge and skills are further developed within the second semester’s three compulsory modules: Business Analysis, International and Cross Cultural Management and International Business Environment.

There is a strategic theme within the programme to give knowledge and skills which will be relevant to middle management and more senior roles.
