Core modules for business route students
Students will begin their academic study in this area by considering how business works. How is management and leadership important, how are organisations structured, what types of business are there, and what principles are important to success?
Areas of mathematics covered include: pricing; evaluating the acquisition of assets and investing in business opportunities and maintaining quality. This module will provide essential tools and theories in mathematics as a foundation for later modules, such as Introduction to Finance and Accounting. The mathematics content will provide business students with a base for them to evaluate the potential benefits to a range of business opportunities and the process of evaluating the most beneficial.
Report writing and handling academic conventions is a critical skill to study in these areas. In the UK there are very specific expectations, in terms of academic integrity, citations and referencing – the fundamental principles of this module.
This module will introduce important concepts in both micro and macroeconomics – both the economics of business and society, and of global trade. Understanding the working of supply and demand are critical to further study in business.
This is an introductory module intended to provide students with a basic knowledge of accounting and finance, and to prepare them for further study at undergraduate level in business/finance related degrees. Students will explore how firms record and use financial data, how they manage their financial operations – looking at issues such as decisions on methods of obtaining capital, evaluating the acquisition of assets and investing in business opportunities.
What is an entrepreneur? This module will introduce ideas around entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship, encouraging students to think outside the norm. Students will work on a project that expands on the ideas they have encountered.
