Modules will cover topics such as organisations and the business environment; economics and globalisation; managing data. Year two - Focus on the inner workings of businesses. Use business techniques to solve problems and start developing the skills that employers look for. Modules cover key themes including creativity and innovation in business. At the end of the year, you can choose to embark on a ten-month business placement or a ten-week summer placement - applying what you’ve learned so far in the real world. Year three - Develop and explore your business learning, with a focus on management accounting. Undertake an in-depth business research project in accounting.
