Introduction

Students enrolled in this course are required to apply their knowledge to a variety of assignments and activities, with a focus on the holistic development of practical, interpersonal and higher level thinking skills. Assessment reflects not only what the student knows but also what he or she can do to succeed in employment and higher education in an ethical manner.

Employers are looking for recruits with a thorough grounding in the latest sector requirements. They are also seeking employees with work-ready skills. Higher education students must have experience of research, extended writing and meeting deadlines. This course addresses these various requirements through a robust curriculum with learning outcomes mapped against Professional Body standards — where applicable, and a core of skills and understanding that is common to all students and aligned to the Framework of Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ).

This qualification is recognised by Higher Education providers as meeting admission requirements to many relevant business-related courses. Students should always check the entry requirements for degree programmes at specific Higher Education providers.
