  • Teaching

    • The approach to learning combines academic literature, management knowledge, experiential forms of work-based learning, and critical self-awareness of the scope and limitations of management practice. The emphasis is on identifying core principles from relevant management research, theories and practices, and applying these to cases drawn from students' personal experience in the workplace.

      You will be expected to engage in both individual study to develop a critical awareness of a range of core management concepts and principles, and to take part in a number of group learning forums outside the classroom.

      We also offer student support and study facilities.
