Oxstalls campus – Business, Law and Social Science courses

Check in at the Business School.

A warm welcome to your day, outlining what to expect.

Meet the lecturers and hear from them about the modules you’ll take and study methods and styles you’ll use.

Accounting and Business Management
Accounting and Finance

Financial decision making (Session title TBC)
Pricing only works when the owner’s instincts are anchored by the accountant’s math. The owner brings clarity on who the customer is, and what it’s worth paying for; the accountant brings ruthless truth about costs, margins, and cash flow. Together, they price it by first locking in the real cost of doing business, then setting a profit target that supports growth—not survival. How much will you price your product?

Think global! Business in the news
Explore current affairs and geopolitics that affect all businesses globally. Discuss global international business challenges, the role of culture in the success of MNEs and how current political and economic upheavals affect global, regional and local businesses. We will challenge you to think critically about current news stories, allow you to meet others who may be on your course, and bank some useful business case studies for use in future studies.

International Business Management
(Title and description TBC)

The effect of recent changes to US tariffs on international trade.
Further information coming soon.

Who owns ideas? A hands-on introduction to intellectual property
Intellectual property law helps protect ideas and creations by preventing others from copying or misusing them. But where do we draw the line between inspiration and infringement? From pop songs and patents to the famous Colin the Caterpillar cake dispute, join us for an interactive session to examine real-world examples relating to copyright, trade marks, patents, and more.

Welcome to the big table
You’ll innovate and disrupt the breakfast food market and promote a new breakfast product. Along the way, you’ll practice skills from product development to digital promotion; research to retailing. By the end, you’ll get a taste of some exciting and varied marketing careers. You’ll also pitch your idea, building confidence in presenting and communicating creative solutions — all key skills for university study and future careers.
