Additionally, students are given the opportunity to specialise further in certain recognised areas of business. Marketing, accounting, information systems and operations management are all areas in which options may be chosen as the first steps towards a career in such fields. The wide range of options on offer provides plenty of choice for students who are still unsure about their career, or for those wishing to follow a more general course of business study. During stage two, students are prepared for placement, with skills sessions, advice on applications, interview techniques and other related activities. The final year of the course is the placement year.
Students normally spend the year working for a single employer.
Multinationals, large domestic employers, small and medium-sized business and public sector posts all provide valid and valuable placement opportunities. Students are assisted in their search for placement via our dedicated Placement Office. Many opportunities are advertised through the Placement Office but students are also encouraged to find positions for themselves, which reflect their own individual interests and aspirations. The final stage brings students back to the campus with the opportunity to build further on the theoretical knowledge and work experience gained. Greater emphasis is placed upon options, with plenty of opportunity to specialise.
