Learning

Outline

Times are changing. Business is moving fast. Thanks to the digital age, more and more people are setting up their own companies. Yet, start-ups need a great deal of investment – both financially and strategically to succeed. Learn what you need to know to skyrocket your business on our extensive Business and Entrepreneurship course. From competition and globalisation and macroeconomics to the marketing mix, you’ll be well prepped in a range of commercial areas.

Teaching methodology

Learn the Oxford way with tutorial-style teaching. Your expert tutor will foster self-directed learning and critical thinking through interactive seminars in small groups (no bigger than 8). During your course, you will complete two pieces of independent work (essays or problem sheets), which your tutor will then evaluate in either a 1:1 or 2:1 tutorial. Tutorials will provide you with the opportunity to discuss your work and feedback with your tutor and learn new perspectives from your classmates. On completion of the course, you'll receive a certificate and letter of recommendation from your tutor.
