Integrated learning environment
We are convinced that an integrated curriculum enables students to better see connections between action and reaction. That’s why our curriculum shows you how actions taken in one functional area impact other functional areas within a business, a quality that is so important in the business world. In traditional curricula, students experience courses as separate entities, which rarely come into contact with each other. Subject topics, assessments, and even teachers are often siloed within their own area of expertise. Consequently, it falls to you as student to navigate this fragmented world and forge connections between disparate classes. In our new International Business (IB) programme, an integrated learning line curriculum has been chosen which makes connections between subject topics explicit and recreate the integrated world of business.
