Why this course?

Business analysis applies advanced analytical methods to business problems to help managers make better decisions while technology is at the heart of all modern business.

Organisations need business graduates with expertise in business technology.

Business analysts have an excellent general awareness of how a business works. They’re also able to apply advanced analytical methods to deal with specific management issues.

In business law, you’ll study commercial law and business legal regulations. These include company law, competition law and human rights law.

Business law can only be studied as a second subject as a joint Honours option.

A range of assessment techniques are used including:

• business reports
• case studies
