Teaching, Learning and Assessment

The degree commences with an intensive week-long induction programme. In this we cover advanced library skills, guidance on web-based resources, and practical help with presentation skills. Using business case studies we also introduce you to the problems of decision-making in international organisations and the challenges of working in teams. Thereafter, most of the formal teaching on this programme takes place in weekly seminars, in which there is a high degree of student participation.
