Programme Specification

0 Brief Overview

(i) Brief Descriptive Summary

This programme specification covers undergraduate programmes, both single and Combined Honours in Business and Management at the Faculty of Business and Law. Within the Faculty of Business and Law there are full time and part time degree programmes in general business; these being Business and Business Management as well as more specialised degree programmes in Accounting and

Business School Undergraduate Programmes

Finance, Business Information Technology, International Business, Human Resource Management, Sports Management, Marketing, Retail and PR and Digital Communications.

The degrees can be taken as either part time or three year full time programmes or as four year programmes including either a placement or exchange. The Faculty also provides entry to degree programmes from foundation degrees, HNC/D and some international qualifications. Foundation Year study is offered in some subject areas. Students who begin with the Level 3 Foundation Year pursue a 4 year course of study (FT) and proceed to Level 4 of their degree programme on successful completion of the Foundation Year.

With the exception of Foundation Year, all programmes include core and option study.

(ii) Articulation of Graduate Prospects

The Faculty of Business and Law programmes have been designed to enhance employability skills in the following ways: 1 The programmes have been designed to articulate to the appropriate Professional Bodies and conform to these requirements in relation to curriculum requirements. This ensures that graduates are able to top up their degree to achieve professional qualifications which are frequently demanded by employers.

2 Many programmes assessments are based on live or real business cases. These may be in the form of projects, case studies with clients, client briefs etc. This gives an opportunity for students to engage with industry during their studies and build skills in networking, negotiation and interaction with businesses.

3 The placement year is offered on the four year version of all programmes. The placement year has always been a strength of our business programmes and is very attractive to organisations wishing to recruit talent. A bespoke Placement Office within the Faculty of Business and Law has been designed to assist students in securing a placement with specialist support for CV writing, assessment centre training and general advice. Placement year salaries usually vary from between £12,000 to £21,000 per year. All placements are vetted and academic visits support the student during the placement and the compilation of their portfolio.

4 The Professional Development Portfolio is included within each programme to enhance employability skill. This is supported by an on-line portfolio completion and personal meetings with Personal Academic Tutors.

5 Industry speakers – each unit engages at least one guest speaker from industry who may be an alumni.

6 Specialist Careers Events - ProDev Day is an example of a specialist Professional Development event, which is run every year with local creative industries and careers department for all Faculty of Business and Law students.

7 Enterprise skills units – these are taught within most programmes either as a core or option. These units equip the student with the necessary business and entrepreneurial skills to commence their own business.

8 Within each programme, an international perspective is considered – this may be via a language within some programmes or by adopting global material within the units. This assists in offering a cultural and international awareness to all students which is important for most organisations looking for appropriate skilled recruits. Many of the programmes also allow for an exchange year, this allows the student who attends an exchange to embrace an international culture.

Business graduates are supported as described above to secure a career in business or a related area of business. Most students make the transition from their degree programme to a first level

Business School Undergraduate Programmes

graduate role such as executives in a wide range of areas such as logistics, buying, sales, marketing, analysts, accountancy, etc. Many students choose to start their own business and a number have set themselves up within the MMU Incubator – Innospace.

24 Teaching/Learning and Assessment Strategy

Option Units Option units listed in the curriculum structures (section 25 below) are all approved for delivery, but may not all run in any one academic session.

(i) Curriculum Design

All programmes including Combined Honours are built on a model of the learner that develops students so that they are empowered, challenged, invigorated and continue to develop From Level 4 as Dependent to Level 5 as Interdependent to, Level 6 as Independent 21

Units will be presented and assessed in a way that engages and enthuses students.

Students will be taught and assessed with a variety of approaches to support both team and individual development. We recognise that students have different learning needs and learning styles. The curriculum is structured in a flexible way and units may be timetabled in linear or block mode. Block units normally have fewer classroom contact hours but additional use is made of online facilities to support learning. A blended learning approach is used, with appropriate use of e- learning. Use of MMU’s extensive on-line Library facilities is encouraged throughout the programme. The Programme teams are committed to exploring the potential of new approaches to learning, teaching and assessment.

Some units of study are taught across programme areas as there is a common core of knowledge and skills. At level 4 each programme has a single unit that is responsible for the PDP assessment. Skills are shared across units at level 4 and these are mapped in the skills matrix in Appendix 1. The curricula in all programmes has taken into account MMU’s graduate outcomes and employability framework and assessment has focussed on these areas. Units in all programmes have identified ‘sustainability’ curricula where appropriate.

Summative assessment is very varied and we aim to achieve a balance between group and individual assessment and in the use of examinations. Students have the opportunity to apply their learning in the workplace through specially designed units and/or through projects and dissertations. Individuals with special learning needs can be accommodated through specially designed assessment.

Formative assessment takes a wide variety of forms e.g. interaction in class; peer feedback on in- class presentations; workshop activity with feedback ; on-line quizzes; tutor feedback on group, project and dissertation work.

Foundation Year students study a balanced curriculum consisting of a mixture of Business units, an academic skills unit to enable students to develop their skills for HE and manage the transition to HE level study. Students will also study a Foundation of Economics unit which will provide a complementary perspective for their studies.

Programme Structures

25 Programme Structure(s)

(i) Engagement with the University-wide provision (e.g. Uniwide Language, EdLab)

Students are eligible to sign up for language units (and associated 15 credit units) on specific programmes and levels. This offers students an opportunity to study languages if they wish to do so.

UNIWIDE is not available to Foundation Year students

All Faculty of Business and Law 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 our Exchanges are within the European Union and internationally are taught in English and whilst a basic knowledge of the local language might be beneficial when communicating outside of class, the Exchange itself is a broadly cultural rather than language based experience. Our students travel to the USA, China, Australia, Czech Republic, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Germany etc. We are currently talking to new partners in Cyprus and Lithuania. None of these partners require a language competence other than English. Therefore, access to a foreign language does not help or hinder a student going on Exchange. Moreover, students on specialist programmes such as HRM do have access to language options at levels 5 (which take place before the exchange year) and/or 6.

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.

The language provision has not been included in the Combined Honours route due to the requirement for specific routes to cover the learning outcomes thus not affording the ‘space’ for a language to be considered in the new framework.

26 Personal Development Planning

Faculty of Business and Law: A model has been developed that identifies the Professional Development Planning needs appropriate for our students from levels 4 through to 6. These have been mapped, where appropriate, into the curriculum with a specific unit at each level taking responsibility for PDP, but with development of skills and knowledge being across the curriculum.

Progression levels 4-6

Level 4 Embedded in units Process of PDP

Level 5 Embedded in units Reflection & review eportfolio

Level 6 Independent Self managed PDP Support from Academic Tutor Academic from Support

At level 4 PDP is delivered through specified units for all students of the Faculty of Business and Law. As the PDP assessment resides in a programme unit, skills development is tailored to specific programme/discipline needs. At the same time an employability skills framework provides a focus for goal setting. The emphasis in the first year is on the process of managing personal learning through a five stage cycle; diagnose need, set goal, design action plan, implement and review cycle. The first year PDP assignment is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute if students wish to gain a professional award; Personal development as a manager and leader.

At level 5 PDP is embedded within units across each programme of study. The emphasis is on wider goal setting than level 4 and the development of the skills of reflection in the context of a programme related unit.

At level 6 PDP will be student-driven through key units, such as Research Project and Business Project.

The PDP process will be supported through level 4-6 by the Personal Academic Tutor as well as the unit tutor in levels 4 and 5. An e-portfolio system will hold the skills framework and will tie the process together for the student throughout the undergraduate experience and help to generate a professional CV.

Combined Honours: For combined honours each student has a different programme of study and a unit at level 4 and level 5 will include a PDP.

Foundation Year: Foundation Year students will develop the skills necessary for effective PDP through the Academic Skills for HE unit. This will allow them to develop those skills effectively from level 4 onwards.

27 Placement and/or Work-based Learning activities 69

Sandwich awards: Placement learning is required for the sandwich awards which are offered on programmes across the Faculty of Business and Law and are undertaken in the third year of study. Placement learning is an aspect of the sandwich awards and learning may be at a wide variety of organisations. Students provide a portfolio of evidence to support their working experience. A dedicated Placement Office is available at the Faculty, which supports students throughout the application, recruitment of placements and monitors the work experience. Guest lecturers and workshops are also embedded within all programmes, which are managed by the Placement Manager and the Faculty Employability Champion.

Work Based Learning: All awards at The Faculty of Business and Law include the opportunity to study work based learning units at each level. The unit specifications indicate the specific hours and nature of work required to undertake these units.

Exchange: All awards with an Exchange route (identified in section 2 above) provide the opportunity for students to undertake a year of study overseas between their second and final year of study through the University’s International Exchange scheme. Additionally, students on designated programmes (where there is an agreed appropriate alternative curriculum at the partner institution) may undertake their level 5 study as part of the University’s International Exchange programme.

All of the above learning opportunities have been designed and comply with the University’s Institutional Code of Practice for Placement Work based Learning with the Sandwich Placement identified as requiring specific adherence to this Code.

28 Programme Specific Admission Requirements If these are standard University admission requirements indicate this by including “Standard University Admission Requirements”. If different from standard, provide details for each award in addition to programme level requirements. Standard University Admission Requirements; number of UCAS points required (or equivalent) is revised annually, locally.
