The Fieldwork in Management course is designed to provide students the opportunity to gain meaningful work experience by exploring jobs in various industries and work environments. This allows students to apply their academic knowledge and skill sets to a business setting and real-world projects.
The fieldwork course provides students with opportunities to:

- Apply newly-learned skills in a business setting while working on real-world projects.
