In addition, several regular themes have been inte- grated into the study and act as learning continuity pathways:
• Business Ethics & Sustainability
• Technology and Information
• Research Methodology/Critical Thinking.
As these subjects are an integral part of 21st-century business, they are not taught as isolated subjects but will recur in various modules throughout the study.
