Methods of Teaching and Assessment:

Modules are taught using a variety of teaching methods such as lectures, workshops, groupwork and student presentations.

The Induction module is taught intensively in the first 2 weeks of the degree programme, and thereafter the core and optional modules are taught throughout the year of study.

A feature of the programme is the Distinguished Visitor and Enterprise Gym Lecture Series. Distinguished practitioners in the field are invited to the University to hold seminars highlighting critical aspects of Business Finance and Marketing. It offers students a unique opportunity to meet with business leaders.

All modules (including the Induction programme) are assessed by coursework (including oral presentations) and final examination. Coursework may account for as much as 40% of the overall degree.
