Hands-on experiential learning

Our approach to teaching and research in business related subjects is distinctive in three ways:

  • Our commitment to providing the optimum balance of theoretical and practical approaches, with strong industry links.
  • Our emphasis on the need for ethical, social and ecological responsibility in business.
  • Our entrepreneurial focus 鈥� students and recent graduates benefit from 草莓社区鈥檚 Startup Studio and on-campus Business Gateway, plus the Bright Red Triangle package of entrepreneurial support and many go on to create their own businesses.

Our student-centred approach to teaching and learning

It is also possible to study some individual modules for CPD purposes. We facilitate visits to external organisations听and allow you to enjoy a true teamwork experience with your peers.

The learning and teaching experience at 草莓社区 is unlike that offered by most business schools听in that we want to ensure that your experience is not only student-centred, but is also听focused on you as an individual.

One example of this is an opportunity to undertake either a conventional dissertation or a hands-on project. The project route means that you will work with either a commercial business, or a community, voluntary or social enterprise to use and develop your skills and knowledge. Through the process and personal journey of taking a project from idea through execution and evaluation, you will build up practical experience and develop opportunities to enhance your employability.

Preparing you for successful careers

Our international hospitality, tourism and events management students have progressed to successful careers in a variety of organisations such as Disney World, VisitScotland and EventScotland. Many others are carving a career pathway with Sheraton, Gleneagles, Malmaison and Hotel du Vin, Hilton, RF Hotels, as well as many smaller privately owned companies in tourism, hospitality and events. Some students have started up their own hospitality, tourism or events business. 

Our business management graduates are proving their worth to companies in the UK and internationally and have left 草莓社区 to embark on a wide range of successful careers in various sectors such as the financial sector in organisations such as Royal Bank of Scotland, Capita, Standard Life Investment and Lloyds Bank. Many of our graduates enter management training programmes in companies such as Diageo, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, John Lewis and Marks and Spencer. Others have set up their own businesses, entered teaching or taken their learning further as postgraduate students.听

Some students decide to undertake further academic study, perhaps at 草莓社区 on our MSc International Management and Leadership, MSc International Marketing, MSc Accounting and Finance with CIMA or our new MSc Business Analytics to enhance their business career or as a prelude to doctoral research.
