If you think studying in the Business School is just about learning how to make lots of money, let us show you what else can be involved: from developing an understanding of accounting and finance that is applicable to real world jobs, to exploring how people make decisions, to discussing sustainable business practice.
Your time will be split between four different disciplines – Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship and Management – giving you a valuable insight into what they are all about and how they are taught at university level. Each session will be delivered through lecture and/or seminar-style teaching, as well as through group work, so you can experience first-hand what being a Business School student at Exeter would be like. You will also meet current Business School undergraduates, who will share their insight into student life, how learning differs from school and college, and where a Business School degree could take you in the future.
So, thinking of studying Business at University? Come and see what is really involved.
