Course Description

This course will help you to develop a wide knowledge of the range of business and marketing disciplines, the relationships between them and their application to practice.

Through specific modules you’ll be taught how to determine the impact of organisational, political, social, technological, cultural and ethical factors on the business and marketing environment.

You’ll examine and prioritise issues associated with management of business and marketing activities in a range of global business, industry and social contexts which allows you to understand a wide spectrum of opportunities both within the marketing and business world.

Thus, allowing you to enhance your knowledge on the methods and techniques that are used to develop evidence-based solutions to contemporary business and marketing challenges.

With that knowledge you’ll be able to critically interpret business intelligence and apply knowledge of enterprise management, brands and markets to propose, justify and implement effective business and marketing solutions.

Modules such as the Business Ethics and Social Responsibility will help you develop and apply values, skills, knowledge and behaviours that will enable you to contribute to the development of a just, peaceful and sustainable world.

Grading & Study Time

We want to ensure you have the best learning experience possible and a supportive and nurturing learning community. That’s why we’re introducing a new block model for delivering the majority of our courses, known as Education 2030. This means a more simplified timetable where you will study one subject at a time instead of several at once. You will have more time to engage with your learning and get to know the teaching team and course mates. You will receive faster feedback through more regular assessment, and have a better study-life balance to enjoy other important aspects of university life. A mixture of large group sessions, tutorials, on line resources and formative assessments are used. Students are given feedback throughout the course to develop and improve their technical knowledge, skills and understanding. Emphasis is placed on the application of technical understanding to case based and impact focused scenarios through the use of assessments.
