In all subjects you will be encouraged to assume progressively greater independence in your studies, although, of course, help and advice are always at hand if you need them. All our courses are designed to develop both your subject knowledge and skills. We aim to produce graduates who are not just subject specialists but who are able to communicate effectively, who know how to find information and it use it to answer questions and solve problems, and who can think analytically, imaginatively and independently. The skills you will acquire during your academic study are explicitly linked to the requirements of your future career through a four-week work placement which is organised at the end of the second year. Our students have gone on to enter a wide range of different careers in business and organisations of many kinds.
Many students go on to study for further qualifications and higher degrees.
