The module will provide students with the chance to practice and conceptualise their own ecommerce business and consider the role of digital marketing in terms of how it contributes to the maintenance and development of an online business.

Decolonisation: The aims of decolonisation both complement and transcend efforts to create a diverse, inclusive learning environment. Its purpose is to reassess and restructure knowledge frameworks and received approaches to knowledge creation and transfer in Business and Marketing education. Our approach to decolonising the marketing curriculum is structured by our geographical and cultural context and allied to One Community values. As ecommerce businesses exist and grow in a global space it is increasingly important for marketing and ecommerce professionals to understand the where and how they operate acknowledging the local operating territory. The module will look to incorporate alternative worldviews around ecommerce business practices as well as ecommerce consumer behaviour. Success is difficult to measure for an emergent project such as decolonisation, which requires individuals to question what they think they know, and to change mindsets. Decolonisation of the curriculum and pedagogy cannot be reduced to a tick box exercise or simplistic curriculum mapping. It is an ongoing process which will continue to affect the reshaping of our curriculum and reconfiguration of our pedagogy in years to come. However, the Module will begin to be informed by the practices of revealing coloniality, informing of historic and present harms around ecommerce business practices with a view to educating ourselves around decolonial approaches at the level of business owner as well as the ecommerce consumer. We will give specific focus to supply chain, human resource, impact investment, social influence.

Students are expected to source their own paid placement, and support is available throughout the application process. No tuition fees will be due for this year, but students will be expected to cover their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs.

Students who successfully complete their studies with a year of work placement will receive the award title BA (Hons) Business and Management (with Work Placement). Those who choose not to complete a placement will receive a BA (Hons) Business and Management award, or equivalent exit award.

Students who require a Tier 4 visa to study BA (Hons) Business and Management (with Work Placement) will be issued a CAS with a course length that should be sufficient for you to complete the course without the placement year.

If you decide to undertake the BA (Hons) Business and Management (with Work Placement) and find a work placement as part of the course this will add additional time to your course and a new Tier 4 visa will be required either before or after the work placement to extend your stay in the UK.

There are also opportunities for relevant work experience and career development as part of the degree course itself, as well as through various other Lincoln International Business School and University schemes. For more information, please visit LIBS work placements pages.
