The range of modules offered may change each academic year.
The Integrated Business Stream offers five separate streams in various business and management disciplines:
- Accounting and Finance (ACC): These modules will provide the necessary background to understanding corporate accounts. This will assist in such management functions as decision-making and resource allocation.
- Economics (ECO/ACE): Economics is the study of the factors that influence income, wealth and well-being. Having gained an understanding of the basics, students can go onto studying economics in both a business and global context.
- Marketing (MKT/ACE): After an introductory module, this stream studies marketing from a variety of perspectives and within various business sectors, as well as considering marketing within the overall business environment.
- Management (BUS): Management is concerned with how businesses operate, considering not only the use of resources but other topics such as human resource management and decision-making. This stream also provides an opportunity to learn about small business start-up and innovation.
- International Business Management (BUS): This stream takes a business environmental view of globalisation and provides an opportunity to understand the effects of global trade on people and organisations.
