This module develops the practical aspects to which accounting can be used. It focuses on the useful internal accounting information, how it helps to manage and control the organisation. The module will enable students to understand how a business is based upon cash and how it is the basic building block of a business. It then looks at the use of accounting information for managerial decision-making purposes, such as Pricing, Contribution Analysis and Performance Measurement. Throughout the module the usefulness and practicality of the accounting information will be foremost.

BA2006 Research Methods
This level 2 module will develop the research skills of students in order to facilitate research-based learning within their programmes of study. On completion of the module, students will possess a tool-kit of research skills which will underpin various aspects of provision including:

BE2006 Business Planning and Decision Making
Introduce the nature of decisions and the models and processes that can be used in the decision making process. These will be used in a variety of decision-making situations from the simple to the complex, understanding the impact on and contributions from business functions. In addition to identification of information needs and sources, understand levels of decision-making and how these change over the lifetime of the business will be considered. The module will examine the constraints upon managers in meeting their objectives and look at the dynamic interplay of power involved in the business planning and decision making process.

Build upon the Financial Management elements contained in the Business Finance module. The module develops an understanding of the key aspects of financial management, of how companies are valued and how the management of finance is a key factor in the success of a company.

BE3017 Strategic Management in a Global Context
Today's organisations are expected to perform in a rapidly changing global environment. Success in this environment requires individuals who are innovative, flexible, capable of critical thought and able to craft strategic decisions given great complexity. This module is intended to provide a holistic and integrated approach to strategic management within the global context. A variety of different strategic themes are explored throughout the module focusing particularly on contemporary and pervasive issues.

The module is not intended to offer a prescriptive process for strategic management, recognising that “Strategy deals in complexity, ambiguity and fundamental issues that cannot be easily addressed” (Mintzberg).

EC3049 The Knowledge Economy
Further develop the ability of students to analyse, investigate and evaluate contemporary and emerging issues in business and management. The topics studied will vary according to the research interests of staff. The module is designed to help students commence with research relating to likely dissertation topics. In particular, the module will assist in the defining of key questions, identifying methodological issues and critically appraising relevant literature.

HR3010 Employee Learning and Development
The rationale for this module is to enable students to critically evaluate and analyse a range of concepts and academic frameworks embraced within Employee Training, Learning and Development.

An in depth understanding of Employee Training, Learning and Development ensures that the student is fully aware of a wide variety of activities and perspectives. Students will then be able to evaluate and justify interventions, which are most likely to support the learning ethos of the individual, team and organisation. They will be encouraged to examine learning and development through a range of critical perspectives incorporating recent academic underpinning research.

IM3015 The Information Age
Develop a strategic perspective applied to high level planning for Information Systems Management. The module further develops knowledge of the changing work and social environment within commercial enterprises. Importance will be placed on social, political and legal factors facing remote workers and management. The module will highlight the technology available to resource these initiatives.

MK3011 International Marketing
This module aims to develop students' understanding of international marketing theory and concepts. In studying this module, students will appreciate the complexities of international marketing in a changing environment and develop an appreciation of strategies and plans for a mix of world economies. The module will also develop the students' understanding of the international planning process and implications for implementation, planning and control.

BE3010 Undergraduate Dissertation
The academic dissertation occupies a very distinct and important position in your undergraduate programme, principally because it represents an opportunity for you to demonstrate a range of both intellectual and practical skills which will prove vital for any future career in business and management. In every respect, the dissertation is your own work and it therefore represents a vehicle which will permit you to demonstrate your ability to initiate and pursue rigorous independent analysis of a business-related issue and to clearly present the findings of your piece of academic research. It could, for example, subsequently prove useful as a tangible piece of evidence in support of a job application. Nevertheless, the techniques, insights and skills gained which either underpin the work or are acquired in the course of preparing and presenting the dissertation are a significant part of the learning experience and form an integral part of your undergraduate honours award programme.

The dissertation's requirements allow you to further develop and deepen the study of a specific topic, issue or problem that is of particular interest to you and is consistent with your chosen speciality within the general business area. Given that the research is conducted on an individual basis and is therefore not part of a normal taught module, it follows that vital personal traits are your time management skills (i.e. your ability to work on your own to a given time-frame and deadlines) and your organizational skills (i.e. initiating the research programme, determining the methodology, conducting the fieldwork, accessing and analysing the literature / data and presenting the results / conclusions / policy implications).
The dissertation also builds upon other taught modules that you have undertaken within your Award Programme – most notably the Level 2 Research Methods module – and you must present a thesis demonstrating a range of intellectual and other practical skills, especially:
