Academic and Business Communication Skills (Year-long)

Foundation course consists of five compulsory modules.

WHAT MODULES WILL I STUDY?

This module focuses on the skills needed to effectively communicate in academia and in the professional international business environment. Students will foster their communication, presentation, research skills and the ability to write academic pieces (summary, essay) and an array of documents
(CV, cover letter, business emails and letters) commonly used in the professional business world.

Contemporary Global Issues (Year-long)

This module focuses on the skills needed to effectively communicate in academia and in the professional international business environment. Students will foster their communication, presentation, research skills and the ability to write academic pieces (summary, essay) and an array of documents
(CV, cover letter, business emails and letters) commonly used in the professional business world.

Economics and Math for Modern World (Year-long)

The aim of this module is to show that economics, mathematics and data analysis are an integral part of this decision-making process. Students will learn to apply mathematical concepts to a range of entrepreneurial decisions and will develop essential numerical and analytical skills and knowledge required for Data-Driven Decision-Making and Economics for Entrepreneurs modules on Level 4.

Introduction to Organisation, Enterprise and Management (Semester 1)

This introductory module is devoted to the creation of a common understanding among the students of key contemporary topics in management, organisation and enterprise. These include but are not limited to concepts of external and internal business environment, principles of management, basic introduction to marketing theories and practices. Students will develop their competences in developing an organisational structure, managing information and communication in a business setting. The module serves as an initial exposure to the entrepreneurial context to equip the students with the background knowledge and skills to contribute to their successful professional experience.

Digital Basics (Semester 2)

The main principle of the module is based on the fact that students will be able to understand the importance of ICT and IM in creating small and medium-sized businesses and for the development of entrepreneurship. Moreover, during the seminars students will be able to learn how to analyse these principles and apply the necessary ones to create their own startup. Students will gain valuable insights on ICTs, which will allow them to work productively with experts from this field. Regardless of the business sector, this module will help them build a solid ICT foundation for more effective entrepreneurship.

HOW WILL I BE TAUGHT AND ASSESSED?

The language of instruction for the course is English. Your classes will be delivered in the format of seminars, workshops, tours, group discussions and virtual learning activities. Your lecturers will engage you in problem-solving tasks, assign activities for group work, involve you in games to improve your digital literacy skills and create opportunities for improvement of your presentation and public speaking skills. When it comes to assessment, we use a broad range of tasks such as portfolios, presentations, reports, in-class tests, and projects.
In your second term of studies, you will be working on one big project that will require you to consolidate and use all the knowledge and skills from all the modules you studied on IFC. To accomplish this task, you will be asked to work in groups with a mentor being assigned to your group. The mentor will be a person from industry who will guide and facilitate your learning together with your lecturer. We believe that such tasks will help you build the connections between all the modules that you will study.
