In today’s international market and ever growing eco/sustainability leading practice, businesses need employees who understand all elements globalisation, sustainability and intercultural communication. Learn more about these complex issues and their management through real-world case studies, lead by our lecturers who are experts in their fields and all have solid hands-on industry experience.

The final year “Major Project” encourages you to utilise both the skills and knowledge learnt during the course and combine them with current academic research that will further develop your professional expertise and career prospects. This allows you to gain a broad understanding of the key areas of business which will enable you to appreciate the importance of the different functions.
