Module FairWednesday 11th March, Sports Centre, 1pm- 2pmYou are required to complete modules totalling 120 credits in Year 2, and there are 105 credits of compulsory modules. Your LLB Programme permits you to take up to 15 credits from a short list of Business School elective modules. You therefore need to choose one from three available ’core‘ LLB electives. Each of the three electives reflects a different contemporary issue in business and management. Your three 15 credit elective modules for the next academic year are: BEP2070 Social Enterprise Management (term 2) BEP2110 Workplace Wellbeing (term 1) BEP2120 Digital Technologies and the Future of Work* (term 1) *Please note BEP2120, in part because of the nature of the topic, is designed as a flexible mode of study whereby the majority of the learning takes place online. The online content and activity is supplemented by 3 classroom seminars. This Business School module is is open to students from all colleges and all campuses. It is recommended that you choose carefully and always read the online descriptor before making your selection.Please be aware of the terms all the modules are running in and think about balancing your workload across the two terms.
