For the dissertation module, taken in the final year, you will draw together aspects of material studied elsewhere, both theoretical and empirical, through the study of a particular topic or issue in depth. Teaching, Learning and Assessment Teaching and learning methods range from formal lectures through small group discussion-based seminars to individual tutorials. Self-directed study tasks, undertaken both individually and in teams, are also an important component of the learning experience, and these are supported by specially prepared study guides and an excellent library and IT facilities. The importance of information technology in business is reflected in our approach, and we will encourage you to develop your IT skills through the use of relevant computer applications. There are opportunities for student exchanges with business schools in Copenhagen, Denmark and Siena, Italy.
Assessment is by coursework and examination.
You have considerable scope to vary the assessment 'mix' through your choice of option modules. The Business School at Oxford Brookes University has an excellent international reputation and an impressive record of graduate employment. There is a strong global demand for graduates with a sound academic background and also for those whose degrees are vocationally-based. Oxford Brookes graduates in Business Economics, with an ability to offer both, are therefore particularly well-placed in a highly competitive market. As a graduate of Business Economics, you will be well equipped for a wide range of management roles.
