Description
This module will provide an immersive experience for all students in the programme in the form of a bootcamp. The bootcamp will take place in the first week of teaching, at the beginning of the programme and combines a business and management primer course with the aim to support students in developing an understanding of all functions of the firm. While discussions, exercises and practical work is developed around the function of the firm, students will also develop key skills like cross-cultural management, networking, and career planning. This unique week-long bootcamp will set the scene for the modules that will follow while exploring the experiential learning and hands-on education.
