Course structure

Throughout the course you will focus on learning by doing and reflecting. One technique is problem-based learning, where you’ll work within a small team to explore issues or decide how to manage a situation. This helps you to dissect, challenge and debate issues. Other learning techniques include cutting-edge e-learning technologies. A typical week for you will include lectures, seminars, debates, tutorials and workshops.

Your progress will be assessed by coursework, assessed case studies and business simulations, presentations, reports, essays, tests and time-constrained assessments.
