Introduction to Work and Organisations

This module aims to introduce students to the concepts and theories relevant to an understanding of the behaviour of people in organisations. It distinguishes between formal and informal organisations, considers the principles and role of management, the influence of technology and motivating staff at work.

Principles of Marketing

This module provides a basic grounding in and understanding of the theory and practice of marketing as a business management discipline. Through exploration of relevant theories, underpinned by their practical application, you will be able to work with core marketing concepts such as market research and buyer behaviour.

Introduction to Accounting

The module is designed as a 'non-technical' introduction to the basics of Financial and Manangement Accounting. It will look at various types of organisations from an information needs point of view, as well as consideration of the management uses of accounting data.

Introduction to Law

This module will help to facilitate an understanding of the principal legal issues relevant to people in business. As an introductory module available to students who have not previously studied law, information will be provided on the major sources of law, namely; case law, statute, and delegated legislation and will provide an overview of the court structure.

This module will also consider the law of contract including rules of contract formation; contract terms and representations; discharge of contract and remedies for breach of contract. Brief consideration will also be given to principles of company law including company formation, company operation, the contractural capacity of companies and statutory books, records and forms.

This module also considers briefly the nature of liability in neglience, with particular reference to liability for professional advice.

Quantitative Methods

This module introduces the ideas of statistics and financial mathematics within a business and organisational context. This module aims to provide students with the basic quantitative techniques to be able to summarise and present data in a meaningful way.

To assist with this, appropriate computer software will be used. In addition, it aims to enable students to apply financial mathematical techniques to simple, but realistic problems.
