Students hunting for a bargain should opt for the eBay module offered by the University of Central Lancashire's Business School.
The online auctions course, which can be completed in a few weeks or spun out for a whole academic year, teaches students to "buy and sell goods on eBay".
The writer of the course blurb is certainly good at selling. He or she states: "Students will... perhaps even develop a profitable auction business to help support a 'student lifestyle'."
