BMU

The Academic Skills I module introduces students to university study, developing their skills in finding, understanding, and evaluating sources, and presenting information and arguments in written and spoken form. It introduces practices of independent learning and study that will enable students to succeed over the course of the BMU undergraduate programme. 

This module introduces students to the theories and practices of business ethics, environmental and social responsibility in national and global contexts as well as individual ethical dilemmas that people in organizations can face within such contexts. Students will also learn about professional standards in business ethics with the aim to promote, guide and direct professional practice that will help students increase their employability and workplace effectiveness.

The Business Research Methods course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the research process in the business environment. This course equips students with the tools and techniques necessary to conduct systematic research, analyze data, and present findings that support decision-making in business contexts.

Key topics covered include research design, both qualitative and quantitative research methods, data collection techniques (such as surveys, interviews, and focus groups), and the application of statistical analysis tools. Students will also explore ethical issues in research, the importance of critical thinking, and how to develop research proposals and reports.

By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in conducting business research, understanding data-driven insights, and making informed decisions based on empirical evidence. This course is ideal for students pursuing careers in management, marketing, finance, and any field that requires the application of research to improve business practices.
