Overview
This is a 6 credit point unit that is designed to give students real world work experience through participating as a consultant (with academic guidance) on an actual business or organisational sourced project. Businesses and organisations identify an issue that they need to find a solution for and students work to identify how this may be managed or solved. As organisations are increasingly turning to outside consultants to help solve business problems students will get first hand experience in this important area of business.
