Course Overview

This course allows you to gain a qualification in just one year and provides you with the core business knowledge and workplace skills that will boost your employability and career prospects. Through a range of engaging and practical modules, you will gain an insight into the world of business and how it operates, including understanding how key business functions such as HR, marketing, finance, and operations, as well as the external environment that impacts how businesses operate. You will develop your business knowledge by exploring important theories and concepts, but also through examination and application of real-world business case studies and by reflecting on your own experience and examples. This CertHE Business programme also places a strong emphasis on the development of key workplace skills that employers are looking for such as communication and research skills, IT and numeracy, teamworking and presentation skills, all of which can boost your employability and career progression in a variety of roles across the business and public sector or help you develop your own business.
