Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Business Studies

The programme is delivered via lectures, seminars, workshops, business games and simulations and directed independent study. This will be supported through

• The creation of a learning environment which fosters debate and constructive argument;
• Modules which encourage students to critically assess theory and leading edge practice with a view to creating new concepts and practices for the future;
• Practical projects which foster originality of thought and enterprise;
• Exercises which develop critical analysis of financial statements.

Students will be presented with increasingly complex business scenarios (case studies) and will be encouraged to gain a deeper and wider perspective of the business problem, while at the same time maintaining the strategic view which is the key concern of the MBA student.
