Students are actively encouraged to critically evaluate a broad range of management, law and business concepts, developing their understanding for strategic and operational entities. For the Business elements, in Year 1 students explore several principles underlying business management - examining the dynamic interrelationships between different aspects of business including markets, people and organisations. In Year 2, students engage in critical analysis of people resourcing, business leadership and globalisation. The final year enables students to consider the complexities and ethical implications of business strategies, and the emerging issues confronting organisations, in an era of increasing globalisation and ethical, social and environmental concern.The Law elements encourage students to develop their ability to analyse and critically evaluate problem scenarios and to present students written and oral arguments in a clear and concise manner. The course provides opportunities for students to focus on the development of practical skills - which may include role-play, presentations and negotiation - along with other transferable skills such as research, problem solving, teamwork and independent learning.Please note this BA is not a Qualifying Law Degree as you do not cover all of the required core subjects in law.
