You’ll gain insight into a broad range of areas that affect how businesses operate and build an appreciation of the ways in which the law impacts on both domestic and international business environments. You’ll take some time learning about the importance of financial analysis for a business and how finances are managed, too.

  Project management is a key skill for any business professional so we’ll focus on providing you with a sound basis for managing or working on projects. You’ll learn about the importance of risk management, costing and resource optimisation to understand how to improve on the success of future projects.

  From parties to festivals and mega-events, you’ll look into how events can be managed sustainably and consider issues such as social responsibility, impact and legacy. You’ll also take a broader look at sustainability as a whole, developing your understanding of environmentally, socially and economically responsible business practice.
   

  As part of your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to bring together everything you have learned on live brief assessments where you’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team addressing a current issue in business. Acting as experts in your field, you’ll channel your specialities to identify issues, determine solutions and present your findings back.
