The course offers modules in a range of business disciplines. This has developed my commercial understanding and is an aspect of the course I have really enjoyed since it has allowed me to appreciate how accounting and financial activities can impact a range of business areas.

For my placement I worked as an Operations Analyst at Volkswagen UK head office. The role was very analytical in nature and involved translating data into actionable insights that Senior Managers can use to make strategic business decisions. I learnt how important it is for me to step out of my comfort zone by taking on new tasks and projects. This developed my confidence in the corporate environment and was an extremely important part of my personal development. Perks such as a new car every four months was also a novelty that never wore off.
