others, will provide a basis for students to consider when selecting a topic for the major business

project or minor research project in management.


This module aims to introduce the issues, theories and key concepts associated with

international marketing. Students will develop an understanding of the role of international

marketing for an organisation in the global business environment. Students will be able to

appraise the range of market entry strategies that an organisation may employ. In addition,

students will evaluate the importance of adapting the elements of the marketing mix for

international markets.

competitive, economic, environmental, legal, political, social and

technological;

A4 understand and evaluate the strategic operation and functioning of

markets at a local, national and international level to meet customer needs

and expectations.

Learning methods will value and use prior knowledge and skills to

social context and understand the relevance of their own experience.

Methods used will provide the flexibility to meet the needs of an

individual student or group as appropriate.

Formal methods of teaching will include lectures, seminars, tutorials

and workshops. This work will be enhanced by access to the wider

range of technological and support facilities available within the

College and from external speakers.

Active/participative learning will cover simulation, role play,

This module offers students the opportunity to consider the range of research methodologies

that could be employed in the major project in semester two. The module will enable students to

explore the research philosophies and methodological approaches that may be appropriate to

their area of interest and from other aspects of their course, for example, Business, Sport and

Events Management. There are, therefore, natural links and opportunities for further study with

International Marketing, International Strategic Management, National and International

Development, organisational psychology and Enterprise and Innovation which may provide a

basis for students to explore within the major project.


This module aims to enable students to develop the knowledge, skills and techniques pertaining

to research methods necessary for the major project in semester two.

This module provides an opportunity for students to select a specialist topic within their chosen

pathway of business management. It enables research, with guidance, but mostly as an

autonomous project. It is discrete but utilises skills developed in the students’ Level 6 core and

elective modules studied.


The project aims to enable students to demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills

gained during the undergraduate programme of study in an independent, self-motivated,

enquiring and problem-solving manner. This serves to extend, underpin and enhance learning

through the identification of a business management problem which requires theoretical

research, structured data collection, subsequent critical analysis leading to conclusions and

recommendations. After consultation and agreement with the tutors students will be required to

undertake a Literature Review in the area of their choosing within the context of the programme

studied; formulate a research proposal with research question/s and carry out the research as

proposed. Students’ specific development will be determined by the research project undertaken.


Successful admission to the programme.
