This course employs an authentic assessment strategy, immersing you in real-life scenarios within each module. This approach provides a structured pathway to achieve the learning objectives of individual modules and the program as a whole. Most assessments encourage you to apply your own business ideas, allowing for detailed feedback and opportunities to refine and develop your proposals.

The assessment design offers a range of ways for you to demonstrate essential knowledge, skills, and competencies crucial in the business world. Methods include essays, reports, real-life simulations, presentations, projects, and group discussions.

Independent work, such as research, assignments, and group projects, is essential for your success, and self-study will be strongly supported by lecturer guidance throughout the course.

Assessment methods are reviewed annually to ensure they remain relevant and effective, with updates based on student feedback or recommendations from an External Examiner—an independent academic expert who helps maintain high academic assessment standards.
