Assessments rely heavily on the application of understanding and skills in a work context. Students are likely to be employed in an appropriate business sector, or find a suitable work placement which the college can provide assistance with.

Core knowledge and understanding is mainly acquired through lectures and seminars and directed independent study. The latter will normally make specific use of individually accessed key texts as well as lecturer-designed course materials. Use will also be made of a range of accessible supplementary texts, articles, reports and other designated sources.

You will also benefit from outside speakers who are invited in from the business environment to provide active case studies and to discuss their experience with you.
