The Business Education Team at Queen Mary’s College is made up of teachers who bring their knowledge of employment to the classroom to enhance your understanding of major topical issues and the ways in which businesses respond.
Businesses operate in a competitive, dynamic environment. QMC has links with several businesses in the local area and organises useful visits and trips to help you understand the world of work.
