Method of assessment
In your first year there are two examined modules, one of which is based on material that you will study in advance of the exam. This pre-seen material is focused on solving problems in the areas of finance, marketing, production and people management. In the second year you will sit two exams, one of which will be based on material that you will see in advance of the exam.
Why choose this course?
Business Studies underpins many career decisions that you will make and therefore combines well with most other subjects. Many of the skills you learn will include some practical elements of study with the discipline of an advanced academic programme. In assessing the reasons why some businesses are more successful than others you too could be a business leader of the future.
What will I study?

What issues of employment law are relevant to your own career decisions? You will look at putting together a marketing strategy to increase sales, which requires creative thought, teamwork and research.
