Carefully Selected Study Modules

Our programme has been carefully designed as the first step into a global business career, via a University degree, with choices from a wide range of Universities.

Core modules

Our selected NCUK modules will enable your studnets to be effective in their chosen degrees from day one. These modules are specifically designed to equip them not only for functional business careers but also for senior roles requiring a comprehensive understanding of the external environment, the broader economy, and governmental influences:

1	The Business Studies module aims to prepare students for degrees in business and social sciences. It covers the external business environment and three core functions: Marketing, Accounting and Finance, and Human Resource Management
2	The Economics module aims to equip students with essential economic concepts and principles. It focuses on national and global economic environments, analytical skills, and the role of governments in market economies.
3	The Global Studies module aims to help students understand key 21st-century events and issues. It promotes effective research and diverse perspectives to grasp the global impact of these events, preparing students for an uncertain world.

Language module

Proficiency in English is crucial for your students' success in English universities or English-taught programmes abroad. Twin, accredited by the British Council, has been teaching English to international students for over 25 years - the preparation for university study is a vital aspect of this module that differentiates it from General English.

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) module is for non-proficient English speakers. It aims to improve students' English language and academic skills, introducing them to the linguistic demands of undergraduate study, including independent reading, extended writing, and accessing academic texts, hence transitioning from school study to full participation in university-style study.
