WHY STUDY Applied BUSINESS?
This course gives students a wonderful opportunity to explore a range of aspects of the business world. Applied is a very practical programme and the style of study helps students who prefer to work on continuous assessment, rather than only studying for final exams.
Business Applied is challenging in itself but also a superb gateway to many jobs and future courses.
Each year, the business department visits a local business to see the theory that the students are learning being put into practice. For Applied, this may well focus on the marketing and budgeting functions of the business.
Applied programmes take advantage of visiting speakers to help our students to broaden their subject understanding.
The Business Applied teaches students to work and research independently. These studies will enable them to build a range of writing skills and creativity. The course units also develop analytical skills and the ability to present work using public speaking skills.
The Applied programme of study will prepare students for a wide range of business-related jobs. It will also provide the university admissions points required to study a range of degree level courses.
