Business

Course structure

• Before you start

  You may be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject. Check back in the summer term for more details.

• Course content

  You will study leadership and management and in particular how businesses develop strategies in relation to functional areas such as finance, operations, human resources and Marketing. Students will also learn to appreciate how

  important it is for businesses to analyse performance and to appreciate the wider external environment when drawing up future strategies.

  Each year, students have the opportunity to listen to guest speakers to the College, which have included representatives from Amazon and Manchester

  United FC, as well as those arranged by the department. Optional trips include an EU conference in Paris to provide students with a further insight into the world of business.

  You are also encouraged to supplement your programme with the Extended Project.

• Life After Henley
