You will build on your existing knowledge and develop real competence and critical judgement in a business context so you can progress within the industry.

This course is normally a one year full-time programme based at our Digbeth campus.

A variety of learning and teaching opportunities will be available on your course, approximately 30% of your learning will include lectures, tutorials and classroom based learning, supplemented by workshop activities. Studying can include individual and group working.

Independent study can also include working in the library or joining a study workshop at the College where you can gain support on study skills.
