Welcome to your Business Management course

You will be taught through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops. Seminars enable you to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller groups. In addition, you will have meetings with an academic mentor at least twice a year.

The course will provide you with opportunities to engage with formative modules and engagement activities to help us to gauge your understanding of your subject informally before you complete the formal assessments.

There is a formal or ‘summative’ assessment at the end of each module. This includes a range of coursework assessments, written reports, presentations, and independent supervised projects.

You will often be given independent learning tasks to do on your own. They are designed to consolidate your learning and give you opportunities to complete tutorials or practice what you have learnt from your scheduled sessions.

Assignments are given required support and facilitated as and when required during your term time with designated assessment support sessions run in each module.

You will be taught in our state-of-the-art learning spaces throughout your course. The consultancy module will help you develop collaborative management project with an organisation of your choice to identify an area of research beneficial to both you and the organisation.

You will be involved in real-time problem solving, develop a set of recommendations based on your research findings and present those findings to the organisation. You will also get an opportunity to engage with industry experts and gain insights from them on contemporary management trends and how to deal with related issues.

There are a multitude of resources available online for students at Staffordshire University, such as Microsoft Office 365.
