Business makes the news. Whether it’s about inflation, the economy or the evolution of e-commerce. Are you interested in getting the business know-how to succeed in any industry? From starting a new business and managing its finances, operations, marketing and people, to planning for long-term growth and global expansion, the course will prepare young adults for successful careers with multi-national corporations as well as providing a pathway to higher level and specialised study in particular aspects of business.
