Learning Perspectives This module will encourage you to become a collaborative, critical and reflective learner. Using the distinct lens of your course, you'll examine core questions about how and why we learn the way we do and develop skills essential for university study.
Organisational Culture and Reputation Organisational reputation is significantly driven by the organisation’s culture and capability to take care of their key stakeholders, such as customers, suppliers, industry and financial analysts, and current and potential employees. A good reputation will strengthen a brand and lead to greater stakeholder trust, customer loyalty and employee retention.

This module will help you to understand the key characteristics, the types of management and the intertwined nature of organisational culture and reputation. The module will cover concepts and theories of organisational and consumer behaviour, from employee motivation and retention to customer engagement and satisfaction.

Money, Finance and Decisions In this module, you will discover both theory and practical application of business techniques to come to successful and informed decisions. You will be exposed to approaches that satisfy professional standards, enabling you to learn how to use these tools to accomplish business goals. The professional analytical skills and techniques will support you in making better business decisions and presentations.



This module will equip you with the knowledge and skills to make effective use of key budgeting, financial reporting, mathematical and statistical techniques applicable to business, finance and management. You will develop the ability and confidence to use numerical and problem-solving techniques and take advantage of information technology tools in the context of business and finance to enhance your future employability.

You will explore the relationship between business environments, markets and law and, in doing so, discover key aspects that inform business transactions.

You will learn to understand how competitive consumer markets operate within the context of economics. By exploring the decision-making process and its impact on profits, you will develop an appreciation of how to gauge the macroeconomic performance of a country as well as how a legal system can impact on economic performance.

Global Perspectives This module asks you to reflect on one of the most important questions we face: how can we work together to improve the communities we live in? You'll explore a range of contemporary intercultural, political, ethical and social issues that demand collective solutions – working in groups with students from different disciplines and from diverse cultural backgrounds to generate solutions to local dilemmas and global challenges. You'll be required to reflect on this process and develop your understanding of how teams work and how our individual contributions and choices affect the dynamics of the team. You'll consider the benefits of practising empathy and explore the increased potential for arriving at creative solutions when working with people who have different perspectives.

This will give you an insight into the culture, practices and commercial contexts of an industry, field or sector within which the project is situated.

The focus of this immersive experience will be on process, as you engage in team building, collaboration and project management, researching and testing concepts and presenting your concepts to address the industry challenge.

Year 3

Core modules

Business and Management
Leadership in Context The focus of this module is on experiencing the complexity of leadership in diverse settings – exploring various models and perspectives on the theory and practice of leadership. There’s no universal leadership approach that will result in effective leadership in all circumstances but, in this module, you’ll learn to consider and analyse the influences and contexts that impact styles and behaviours.

You’ll learn to appreciate leadership as a complex relationship and consider the characteristics of the workforce and the job requirements – evaluating personal, cultural and creative approaches and applying leadership principles to company specific needs.

You’ll also learn how to develop a compelling vision for a company or project and create a culture that enables employees to feel motivated and engaged. Inevitably, leadership involves change, so you’ll also experiment with different approaches to change and change management.
Disruptive Strategies and Models In an increasingly connected and turbulent world, it is essential for organisations to be able to respond to change strategically.

Strategy is about helping organisations understand what is going on both outside and inside the organisation, where they want to be in the future and how they get there. Organisations evolve business models that optimise the needs of current customers, balancing resources and capabilities with market demands. However, this can overlook the impact of potential new technologies and approaches. Today, disruptive technologies (for example blockchain and nanotechnology) are fundamentally challenging the business models within many industries.

In this module, you will explore how organisations can harness technologies to disrupt and create new business models. You’ll develop the confidence to think strategically, distil the frenzy and identify new and profitable opportunities. It will expose you to the latest strategic approaches so you can think more creatively, innovate and adapt by considering how businesses can create, capture value and disrupt.
Major Project l The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You will study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project.

The Major Project is a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You will have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to work you’re completing on your other final year modules.

In Major Project I, you will start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project.
Major Project II Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you will realise and complete your work in Major Project ll.
