What the college says

With Business being a living and fast changing subject, this course is ideally suited to those students who excel at research and independent study. Therefore, the most important attributes needed to take Business are a positive attitude, self‐motivation and organisation, a willingness to explore new ideas and an ability to communicate those ideas effectively to accept a challenge and take a risk. Critical and analytical skills are used to evaluate a student's own work and that of others. Business is front‐page news. The way companies operate is under greater scrutiny than ever before, while TV programmes like The Apprentice and Dragon’s Den have raised the profile of business to a new generation. Our aim is to bring the subject to life, enabling students to engage with, explore and understand business behaviour and develop a critical understanding of what business is, what it does and why it does it.
