Assessment

The assessment process is an integral part of teaching and learning and, as such, supports and complements the learning strategy, in order to ensure that the required outcomes are achieved.

The aim is to achieve learning through which knowledge is based on both understanding and application.

Both the task and the assessment criteria are clearly explained to students within the module handbook.

Assessment strategies used within the course include methods such as practice-based assignments, case studies, presentations, projects, problem-based scenarios, and negotiated learning contracts.

Entry requirements

This programme is predominately offered to those students who wish to continue their studies after successful completion of an HND in Business, FdA in Business / Business Management or other relevant discipline. The standard entry requirement is a Merit grade profile at HND level or an average grade of 50% or more at FdA level from a UK Institution. Students not achieving this requirement will be considered on an individual basis with consideration of tutor references.

For those not in employment discussions will take place before being accepted on to the course to determine the relevance of previous work experience.

International qualifications will be assessed against these criteria. Speakers of other languages will need to possess an IELTS band score of 6.0 (with no-less than 5.5 in any one element) or a recognised English Language Level 2 qualification.
