MMUBS is offering students with a business background (through study, employment, or both) the opportunity to undertake a short period of study in Business English. The aim is to enable students with a basic level of English to improve their language and business communication skills whilst undertaking a short course of study in Marketing.

In addition to the formal teaching schedule there will be a number of business and cultural visits, and a series of industry seminars from experts in the field. Student performance throughout the summer school will be monitored and assessed through presentation exercises and group discussions, as well as a final assessment at the conclusion of the course. English language and communication skills will be reviewed and developed through the use of our video recording and editing suite.
