Glasgow Caledonian University Course Redesigns

The Caledonian Business School (CBS) is the largest Business School in Scotland offering over fifty career-focused programmes across a variety of levels and modes of study. During 2005/2007 CBS undertook re-engineering activities in the core modules of six of the School's eight divisions as well as sharing experiences across the whole Business School.
