Accounting & Economics

A world without waste

Much of the world’s waste is not managed properly. What’s the solution? We identify the principles, fundamentals and characteristics of a circular economy, showcasing the business benefits of transitioning to a circular business model.

Robots, tech and transformation – how fintech will rule the world

Students develop an understanding of the benefits and impact of emerging digital technologies. We explore the evolution of business objectives, critically compare and evaluate threats and opportunities caused by digital innovation, and examine business models.


Business Management & Enterprise

Are you ready to be a responsible leader?

Students look at different types of leaders using examples from films, books and business to identify the skills required and define what makes a responsible leader. We discuss tensions between profit and people and discuss the responsibilities of business to society.

Business enterprise

Students get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to prepare a business idea. They dive into the concepts behind idea generation, creative thinking and understand the components needs to get others to buy into it.

Enterprise and digital transformation

Students research and apply current digital innovative technologies to an SME of their choice, offering suggestions as to why digital technologies should be included, and the impact they will have on the enterprise’s ability to maintain market competition.

Green marketing

Students learn about the three pillars of sustainability, identifying sustainable and non-sustainable behaviour. We also critically evaluate the marketing practices of local businesses and their impact on the environment.
