Watch this short film of Dr Maxwell Chipulu (Programme Lead for Business Analytics) for a welcome to your programme and tips on what you can do over the summer to prepare. We've also provided some quick activities below to get you started...
What you can do to prepare for your programme...
1) What to expect from academic study
This short online activity will help you to reflect on what you want to get from your time at university and prepare you for the types of learning you can expect.
2) Recommended reading
We want you to enjoy your summer! Don't worry too much at this stage about reading academic texts as there will be plenty of time for that when you arrive. Reading good quality business news regularly is a good way to adjust to reading at university level. We recommend The Financial Times, The Economist, and the business sections of the major broadsheet newspapers (Times, Guardian, Independent, Telegraph).
