Your first year will be a Foundation Year course, designed to provide you with a strong fundamental understanding of business and management before moving on to your degree studies. Year 1 of your Bachelor’s studies will expose you to several key areas including the Business Environment, Managing People, Marketing & Communications in a Digital World, Global Business Aspects, Business Finance and Economics.

Year 2 will build on the previous year of studies with a more intense curriculum and more emphasis on your ability to learn and think critically. You will learn about effective Research Methods, Business Decision Making, Organisational Behaviour, Business Planning and Analysis, Project Management and International Business Law.

The curriculum during the final year is geared around exploring advanced areas of business management, and preparations for your final major project of the course. Your final year covers topics including Global Leadership and Organisational Behaviour, Building a Sustainable Business, Innovation Management and Global Management. After covering these four topics, you will either choose to take a Dissertation, Consulting Project or an Internship as your final major project.

This GBS Global Business (Business Management) with Foundation Year course will provide you with opportunities to test your knowledge and understanding informally through ‘formative’ assessments. Formative assessments will be completed before your formal ‘summative ’ assessment, which will determine your final marks.

Each module normally contains at least one piece of formative assessment from which you will receive feedback from your course team. Formative assessments are purely for developmental purposes and do not count towards your final module mark. They are designed to help you to gain more knowledge and confidence in the module material and approaches to formal assessment. Students who do not engage with informal assessments often struggle with Foundation Year progression, as well as with the academic levels above.

The formal summative assessment usually occurs towards the end of each module. Assessment methods may include written examinations and a range of coursework, including reports, portfolios, essays and presentations. The marks awarded for summative assessments count towards your final module mark. Assessment methods at GBS are reviewed annually and may be updated in consultation with students, for example in response to student or External Examiner feedback. An External Examiner is an independent academic expert from another higher education provider, and they are appointed by the University of Suffolk to provide external assurance regarding the academic standards of your course.
