In addition, group assignments will give you the chance to work together with your fellow students, and some will have an element of peer assessment to help you develop your skills in teams. Some modules conclude with an exam and the course will conclude with the completion of your individual dissertation.
You can also apply to join one of the international study weeks to gain an awareness of international business culture through first-hand experience. In recent years, we have offered study weeks at Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, Madrid, Rome, and the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business. Places on these study weeks are optional and limited, and students will be able to partake in an application and selection process to take part once they have begun on the course.
