Ideal for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to get a head start in the business world and gain key insights into how success is built, students are taught in small class sizes of 11. Students will learn to evaluate business behaviour from the perspective of a range of stakeholders including owner, shareholder, manager, employee, customer, supplier, lender and government.
Students are taught through a combination of subject theory, practical sessions and group project work. Practical sessions include investigating case studies of large companies and practicing corporate social responsibility when developing a business plan for a new product.
Each week, students also have the opportunity to be inspired to take on a career in Business & Enterprise through visits to destinations such as Cadbury World where they will learn about a multi-billion pound global business.
Students also participate in Skills Elective sessions to give them the best opportunity to build a career in Business & Enterprise with sessions such as interview techniques, a cv workshop and independent learning skills. Weekly projects also aim to improve a student’s English language capability through team-work, public speaking and debate.
To ensure our students have fun, make friends and get to know the UK, we have an exciting programme of on-site activities and days out. Days out of the school are split into two types: ‘excursions’ and ‘study-in-action days’.
Study-in-action days take the learning outside the classroom. Students visit destinations related to engineering that provide real-life experiences connecting language, practice and profession.
Excursions are a fun way for students to visit famous landmarks and attractions with all students attending a Young Professionals course, providing an opportunity for students to mix with others from different subject streams.
