Content

This unit aims to provide students with an authentic experience of working as a consultant with an international organisation. In an increasingly global commercial environment, the ability to work with clients and teams situated across the world is an important and desirable graduate attribute.  Students will develop their skills in liaising with external stakeholders in order to identify, understand and attempt to resolve real-world business problems, and develop an understanding of the processes and skills required to be a consultant in a global business environment. By undertaking this unit, students will practise ethical behaviour and develop their problem solving, self-management and interpersonal skills.

Students will critically reflect upon their experience, relevant graduate attributes and employability competencies through a progressive assessment process.
