They will be encouraged to become responsible, socially aware and inclusive in their understanding of business and society as they develop as honest professionals.
- Graduates will be encouraged to achieve excellence in personal and professional development and activity. They will recognise the importance of working to high standards to realise and retain excellence and quality in their chosen profession.
- Graduates will be encouraged to be confident and determined in their abilities. This will be grounded in an ability to critically analyse issues within their context and develop sound, rational solutions to problems identified. Such confidence will be grounded in ability and competence.
- Graduates will be encouraged to be creative and innovative. They should be constructive risk-takers: adaptive and forward-thinking with an understanding of existing and emergent industry trends. Graduates will be ambitious and enthusiastic.
- Critical thinking and analysis. Graduates will be encouraged to develop their ability to critically analyse both theoretical and applied material through a range of learning techniques.
- Applied thinking. By working in collaboration with a series of industry partners, graduates will have the opportunity to apply theory to practice. This will arise through several opportunities such as: guest lectures, seminars, case studies, applied dissertation, collaborative module provision with industry partners, simulations, internships, and professional training.
- Reflective. Graduates will be encouraged to reflect not only on their learning experience but on their personal and professional development throughout the course of their studies.
- Problem-solving. By working independently and in teams, graduates will build experience of both theoretical and applied problem-solving.
- Team work. Through group work graduates will be encouraged to develop the efficiency of their verbal and written communication skills, interpersonal skills, negotiation and time management skills. In doing so, they will be required to balance independent working with working in groups, to achieve deadlines to the highest standards possible.
- Communication skills. As indicated above, graduates will have a range of opportunities to refine their verbal and written communication skills. For example, presentation skills, ability to contribute constructively to discussions and debates both within group work and in class-based discussions, and use of technology (e.g. podcasting and website construction). They will develop written skills through essay and report writing in a range of contexts (e.g. theoretical essays through to devising business plans and industry-led projects). Such opportunities will also refine skills of editing, design and formatting that are essential in a professional career.
