OVERVIEW
The BA (Hons) Business Management course aims to equip students with a solid education in business and management theory as an excellent foundation to pursue their professional aspirations. The course allows students to develop a range of practical skills and analytical techniques across several business areas.
The programme covers a variety of business fields including marketing, finance, human resource and leadership and management. The course aims to prepare students for the world of business and all modules are aligned with contemporary business practices.
LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT
The course emphasises active learning and facilitative teaching methods, through which students are expected to construct their own knowledge and understanding by engaging in supported processes of enquiry – often carried out in small groups – giving the opportunity for frequent and informal feedback. The course also encourages a participative approach to learning, including collaborative learning and peer review. Students explore business and management issues that are set in realistic contexts, allowing theory to be explored through interesting and challenging situations, thereby marrying critical enquiry with practical insights. Students are at the centre of the learning process, making their own connections between ideas and synthesis is encouraged, with the integration of knowledge from multiple subject areas.
Assessment is carried out at key points during teaching. Formative assessment with either verbal and/or written feedback is offered during each module. Written feedback is provided following summative assessment. Assessment tasks are linked to the objectives of each module and are normally completed by the end of each module. Types of assessment evidence can include assignments, projects, in-class tests and presentations.
