Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The objectives of the course are for the student to be able to develop an understanding of the relationship between government and business and how this has impacted on current developments within the business community. This understanding will then be applied within a European context in terms of policy environment and industrial sectors.
The course is intended for those contemplating working inside the European Union or for those involved in the market developments of the European Union. The course is a specialist course and is not a general introduction to international business. However students from other departments doing courses on European issues are welcome to join the course. |
