BA Hons Behavioural Aspects of Commerce
Following on from the global financial crisis, it has become evident that a different approach to finance and business practices are needed at senior level to ensure that the human factors associated with decision-making are fully taken into account.
The innovative Behavioural Aspects of Commerce course immerses the student in studies which will enable them to engage in practice in commerce while having a firm foundation in human behavioural studies, social factors, cognition and the mechanics of brain science. The final dissertation, based on sound research methods, will allow the student to apply their studies to a case study. This will provide them with current and topical knowledge with which to enter the world of work.
The Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences is known for its innovative courses designed to encourage student and staff interaction, and collaboration across subjects and disciplines, including politics, English and psychology.
