The subject area is staffed by four experienced and well-qualified staff, who are committed to establishing a positive environment that promotes high quality learning. Students enjoy Business for a variety of reasons, including learning in a dynamic and stimulating learning environment, an accessible and clear specification to help and guide their learning, the range of topics that they study to keep their interest levels high, and the opportunity to develop skills of critical analysis and critical evaluation right from the start of the course. The subject area is well-resourced and there is a commitment of staff to sharing ideas and contributing to making Business even better for students.
