The course has been designed with your future career in mind, opening up possibilities in leadership and management, and giving you the skills to succeed in these roles.
Topics you will study may include:
Typically, each module will include 2 assessments, spread out over the semester. The course includes a variety of different assessment methods, including seminars, written reports, exams and presentations.
There will only ever be one module assessed by an exam per semester, and some semesters will have no exams at all. The exam itself will only ever be worth 40% of the overall grade for that module, and are usually open-book, so you can take your notes in with you.
