Study and Modules
Structure
You and all of your fellow students in the Norwich Business School’s range of BSc programs will take the same modules during your first year. You’ll get a broad view of business and find out which areas you're most interested in during your first-year studies. If you wish, this format offers you the flexibility to swap to another BSc degree at Norwich Business School after your first year.
You’ll explore the essentials of modern business through six core modules. You’ll develop an excellent grounding in financial accounting, corporate finance, economics, quantitative methods, digital business and other related subjects. By the end of the first year, you’ll have a firm understanding of all the key disciplines of business.
Compulsory Modules
Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, the University will endeavour to consult with students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will inform students.
Teaching and Learning
Teaching
You’ll build your skills and gain knowledge through a combination of lecturers, seminars and workshops.
You’ll obtain the latest research and real-world business experience from our leading teaching team as well as industry guest lecturers.
We believe that one of the best ways to learn is by doing, so selected modules include a project where you can hone your business analytic skills.
Independent study
You’ll also spend time learning through self-directed study. You’ll research in UEA’s library, write coursework and undertake IT lab work.
Teamwork and communication
During your study on this course, you’ll work together with students within your degree and students from other Norwich Business School degrees. This collaborative work will help you to build your teamwork and communication skills. It'll also give you the opportunity to learn other business disciplines.
