Learning & assessment
You’re in for an engaging and rewarding experience, where you’ll be encouraged to think creatively, work with real data, and apply insights to solve complex business problems.
You’ll be learning in active, applied, and collaborative environments, through a mix of lectures, seminars, computer-lab sessions, and real-world projects.
You will engage with a wide variety of scenarios drawn from real organisations across sectors such as marketing, operations, entrepreneurship, HRM, sustainability, and strategy. These cases will challenge you to work collaboratively to analyse issues, debate alternative perspectives, and generate solutions that connect theory with practice.
You will have plenty of opportunities to test your knowledge in authentic business situations, such as live briefs, consultancy-style projects, simulated business environments, enterprise activities, and opportunities to contribute to social impact or civic engagement initiatives.
You will undertake a capstone project, where you will choose from a range of pathways from research to sustainability-focused interventions.
We will empower you to take ownership of your learning journey and develop the mindset to be a lifelong learner. We will facilitate your learning through reflective dialogue, structured feedback, and mentoring that will enhance your personal growth and academic independence.
You’ll gain key skills in resilience, adaptability and professional self-awareness and put yourself in a confidence place for future study or employment.
You will learn by doing, allowing you to apply classroom knowledge to modern business scenarios and prepare for a variety of professional roles. You will also have opportunities to work on simulated live briefs, campaign design tasks, and group-based strategy projects, helping you develop both independence and collaboration skills.
How you'll be assessed
You’ll be assessed through real-world tasks that mirror industry practice.
From data reports to digital campaigns, you will complete a range of practical and written assignments that develop your skills and reflect on how marketing and business professionals work today. No traditional exams, just applied, career-focused assessment.

- Academic and industry style reports
- Data-driven marketing reports
- Digital portfolios
- Posters and infographics
- Live presentations and pitches
- Reflective writing and career development portfolios
You will receive regular formative feedback to help you improve as you go, and we focus on coursework-based assessment giving you time to research, create, and apply ideas rather than relying on memory or traditional exams.
