15 Our aim is to be a leading Faculty of Business and Law, exemplified by our academic scholarship, professional recognition, and research respected for its relevance and impact that adds value to organisations and society. To help achieve this aim the Department of Management offers a suite of generalist and specialist undergraduate programmes that are modern and progressive and meet the demands of our students and employers in an ever-changing world. Our portfolio of programmes are designed to offer stimulating, relevant and appealing curricula that will be valued by students and employers both nationally and internationally. Our range of programmes are specifically designed with the following aspirations in mind: to prepare socially and environmentally responsible graduates for successful careers in management and the professions; to gain relevant and good quality professional body endorsements to help our students improve their employability; and to encourage our graduates to value knowledge, skills and innovation and apply these to the challenges they will face. The design of our programmes are constructed around a suite of units that will offer students at levels 4 and 5 foundational knowledge and skills in various subject disciplines and then at level 6 provide a choice for them to develop specialisms and distinctive areas of competence in various aspects of business practice, and in various functional areas of expertise. Our programmes offer a balanced integration of academic thinking and knowledge that can be applied in the business context. We aim to develop students that will become (1) confident independent thinkers and learners, (2) who wish to expand their subject knowledge and develop their employability skills and (3) who will be sensitive to personal, cultural and social issues. The vocational and practical nature of the programmes will enable students to develop the transferable skills required to develop and navigate careers within and across many sectors. Our programmes are delivered using a range of appropriate teaching and learning strategies that feature blended learning and face-to-face delivery and will include lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials as appropriate to the knowledge and skills and how they can best be assimilated. Our units are all supported online through the creative use of new and existing technology and innovative software. It is anticipated that the embedding of on-line technology will allow courses to be offered across to a wide range of markets across the world. The Department of Management programmes offer core elements in the understanding of business and management, therefore the programmes are designed to give both a thorough understanding of the subject area, as well as, develop the student personally and professionally. Integrated Masters The Department also offers Integrated Masters (IM) Programmes for Business and Human Resource Management (M. Bus (Hons) Business and M.HRM (Hons) Human Resource Management). The programmes are four years full-time, integrating three years of study at undergraduate honours level with one year of study at master s level. The M. Bus (Hons) Business programme presents an innovative option for potential business management students. It offers students integrated accredited work experience through levels 5, CASQE Page 14 of 74 Programme Specification

16 6 and 7 alongside their studies. It utilises the close links between the University and professional and business partners to offer industrial experience throughout the degree programme to enhance employability. The M.HRM (Hons) Human Resource Management Programme provides the opportunity for students to gain Intermediate and/or Advanced CIPD accreditation alongside their studies. Advanced level is the premier qualification for human resource management professionals and the only route to entry into Chartered status. The integrated masters provide an extended and enhanced study experience with increased emphasis on industrial relevance. In addition, integrated master s degrees are now explicitly covered in the UK Quality Code for HE and are fully funded for students. 25 QAA Benchmark Statement(s) Business and Management QAA 2007 Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism QAA Programme Specific Outcomes Assurance of Learning (AoL) refers to a process used to continually improve student performance through improving student learning. The Faculty of Business and Law has established a common set of outcomes for all programmes that are business-specific skills and knowledge appropriate to the mission of the School. These are referred to as programme level learning outcomes (PLO). Each award has its own clear goals whilst maintaining the overall mission of the School. The learning outcomes for each programme are expressed in the Programme Specification. They underpin what employers want as part of professional preparation and that we believe students will need for career advancement.

26 28 Structures, modes of delivery (eg FT/PT/DL etc), levels,, awards, curriculum map of all units (identifying core/option status,, pre or co-requisites) potential entry/exit points and progression/award requirements Faculty of Business and Law Level 6 Options The Faculty of Business and Law offers a wide variety of options, which are offered to all generalist programmes e.g. Business Management and Marketing Management. Certain specialist programmes benefit from accreditation from professional bodies (such as CIMA, CIM, etc.), therefore, it is important that the units within these programmes reflect the specialist nature and include the content, which allows for the formal accreditation from the appropriate professional body. These programmes have a specialist unit instead of a language unit to ensure that there is complete coverage of the learning outcomes required for this specialist area. However, this should not prevent students from still taking advantage of the exchange year within certain countries. Exchange and foreign language competence are unrelated. All other general business programmes have the language option as the generalist curriculum allows for this within the timescale of the programme and therefore, students can benefit from a language within this general approach. OPTION UNITS Option units listed in the following curriculum structures are all approved for delivery but may not all run in any one academic session. Foundation Year The management of the Foundation Year is undertaken by Marketing, Operations and Digital Business department. The structure of the Foundation Year can be found in the Marketing, Operations and Digital Business Undergraduate Programme Specification. BA (Hons) Business Management Full-time BA (Hons) Business Management with Placement BA (Hons) Business Management with Overseas Study A common 30 credit core unit Ideas Creativity and Entrepreneurship will be reduced to 15 to accommodate the new personal and professional development unit. ICE includes some personal and professional development input, however, this is quite minimal and is not directly assessed. The unit leader believes that students would benefit from a dedicated delivery of the PDP element and consequently would enable the ICE unit to concentrate on the entrepreneurial elements of the unit. This proposal will ensure that all PLOs remain fully met.
