The overall aim of the programmes is to provide an inspiring, challenging course of study that will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to enable you to contribute effectively to the leadership and management of organisations within a rapidly changing business environment.

Developing professional skills is key to graduate employability and teamwork, communication, planning, problem solving, time management, leadership, negotiation, compromise and conflict resolution are key transferable skills.  You will be given opportunities to listen to, value and challenge your peers; you will also be able to explain your own ideas.  You will have opportunities to develop your group work skills at all levels.

Developing professional practice is an integral part of your course.  Developing your professional practice enables you to put theory in to practice by participating in relevant tasks within a real business and management context.  These activities will expose you to the realities of the workplace and enhance your graduate employability skills by further developing your knowledge, skills and competencies required to perform effectively in a work environment.  A significant benefit of work-related learning experiences is that they improve your academic performance as you will see, at first hand, how organisations operate.  You will be able to expand your professional networking throughout the course.
