Úsáidfear sainteanga an ghnó i gcás cuid mhór d’abhar an mhodúil seo, rud a chuirfidh ar chumas
na mac léinn iad féin a chur in iúl go muiníneach trí Ghaeilge i réimsí éagsúla de chuid an ghnó/
na tráchtála. Déanfar plé ar théamaí ginearálta comhaimseartha agus ar roinnt ceisteanna reatha a
bhaineann le réimse an ghnó agus na fiontraíochta. Cíorfar an gnó mar ghairm, agus tabharfar deis
do na mic léinn labhairt sa rang agus cur i láthair ó bhéal a dhéanamh ar bhonn rialta.
Déanfar na mic léinn a chumasú i rialacha gramadaí na Gaeilge freisin, i gcomhréir agus i
ndeilbhíocht na teanga, agus i gceartúsáid na teanga. Déanfar an cruinneas a threisiú trí mheán na
scríbhneoireachta ag díriú go sonrach ar théarmaíocht agus ar shainfhoclóir an ghnó.

Sa mhodúl seo déanfar buanú ar eolas na mac léinn ar rialacha gramadaí na Gaeilge, ar chomhréir
agus ar dheilbhíocht na teanga, agus ar cheartúsáid na teanga sa scríobh agus sa labhairt. Bainfear
úsáid as na foinsí agus na huirlisí teanga agus téarmaíochta is tábhachtaí a theastaíonn chun
téacsanna scríofa a ullmhú, ag úsáid théarmaíocht an ghnó mar is cuí.
Déanfar buanú freisin ar chumas na mac léinn sainteanga an ghnó a úsáid, agus cuirfear lena muinín
an sainteanga sin a úsáid go muiníneach agus iad ag labhairt na Gaeilge. Déanfar plé cuimsitheach ar
cheisteanna a bhaineann le réimse an ghnó agus na tráchtála. I measc na dtéamaí a phléifear beidh
Fógraí agus Margaíochta, Cúrsaí Fiontraíochta agus Eacnamaíocht na hÉireann.

Regulations for First Year
8.1 Requirements to Pass
The First University Examination in Commerce must be passed within two academic years
from the date of entering the course, except that students who are permitted to transfer to First
Commerce, having failed in another College, must pass the First University Examination in
Commerce within one academic year of entering the Course.
8.2Language
After First Year, language is available only in the B.Comm. (International) and B.Comm.
(Gaeilge) programmes. However, a limited number of B.Comm. students who pass the First
Year examination in German, Italian or Spanish, at a minimum mark of 40% may be permitted
to transfer into the Second Year of the B.Comm. International programme (provided the First
Commerce examination is passed overall). In the event of demand exceeding the number of
available places, selection will be based on performance in the language at the First Commerce
examination. Decisions on initial selection and on transfer will be made by the Disciplines of
German and Spanish in conjunction with staff in the School of Business & Economics.
8.3Progression
Undergraduate degree programmes at the University are normally organized into Stages.
Students must successfully complete each stage before progressing to a subsequent one. Full-time
Undergraduate Degree Programmes will be organised on an academic year basis, where each year
represents a defined Stage. Full-time undergraduate students will be required to register for and
present for examination in a set of modules to a total credit weighting of 60 ECTS.
8.4Passing
The pass mark on all modules is 40%.
8.5 Carrying Forward Marks
A student will be given credit for modules passed and will not have to re-present for examination
in any module in which a minimum mark of 40% has been returned within the time-limit set out
in regulations for the successful completion of the particular stage. The normal time-limit for
carrying forward of marks to subsequent examination sessions is 2 academic years.
8.6 Compensation Provision
The pass standard for a Module is 40%. However a student with marks of less than 40% in one or
more modules will be deemed to have passed the Stage provided:
•the average mark for all modules of the Stage is at least 40%
•the mark in every module is 35% or more
16
School of Business & Economics
STUDENT GUIDE
•the module(s) with marks in the range 35-39% total 15 ECTS or less.
Note: Where one or more of these conditions have not been met each module where the mark is below
40% must be repeated. Marks of 40% and above are carried forward to the next session and are not
repeatable.
8.7 Award of Honours for Degree Examinations
At degree level, honours will be calculated on the basis of 30% of the aggregate mark obtained at
the second stage (second year) Examination and 70% of the aggregate mark obtained at the final
stage (final year) Examination. The standard will be based upon the following table:
H1
70% on the aggregate
H2.1
60% on the aggregate
H2.2
50% on the aggregate
H3
40% on the aggregate
9.
Bachelor of Commerce (International Experience) Degree
B.Comm. students can apply to extend their studies by an additional year after they have
completed second year. The additional ‘International Experience’ year provides students with an
opportunity to undertake a semester long work placement/internship in Ireland plus a semester
of study in the USA, Europe, Hong Kong or Australia subject to availability. Alternatively students
can choose to spend the full academic year studying abroad. Please note that entry to the
B. Comm. (International Experience) programme is competitive and only a limited number of
places are offered. The selection process is based on academic merit across first and second years,
interview and personal statement. The student’s personal development and attempts to broaden
their interests and improve their skills will be taken into consideration.
10. General Information
We encourage you to get involved in some of the many clubs and societies located on campus and
in particular we strongly encourage you to partake in the NUI Galway volunteering programme
ALIVE. Check out cki.nuigalway.ie/alive/ for more details. In the Business School we provide for
your academic development over the course of your programme. Elsewhere in the university there
are opportunities for you to engage in activities to aid your personal development and growth.

STUDENT GUIDE
The Business Society
BizSoc aims to get more students in the university thinking about business
by opening their mind to new ideas and opportunities. It helps students
who want to get involved in any form of business in the future by allowing
students with similar interests to mix with each other, organise
high profile events and to hear and learn from successful people outside of the lecture hall.
It is also one of the best social societies in NUI Galway. The main events hosted by the
Business Society are trips away in Ireland, speaker engagements with well known business
people, the NUI Galway International Mystery Trip, and of course the occasion of the year:
The NUI Galway Commerce Ball.
The society is proudly sponsored by KPMG who are a leading international firm of chartered
accountants and business advisers, BizSoc is also sponsored by Electric Garden and Theatre.
The more people involved in the society the better for everyone. You can get involved at
committee or class rep level, or take part by simply attending and enjoying our events. For
more information and to sign up please visit: www.nuigbizsoc.ie or
email bizsoc@socs.nuigalway.ie.
10.1 Necessity of lecture and tutorial attendance
Students are required to follow a course of study by attendance and participation at lectures,
practicals and tutorials as timetabled. There is clear evidence to show that success in examinations
is linked to attendance and active participation at lectures and tutorials. Independent study,
wherever that may be (library/home) is also required.
10.2 Study Abroad, Internships and other Opportunities in Future Years of the Programme
Selection for study abroad, internships and other opportunities will be based on academic merit.
Selection will, in many cases, depend on the student’s performance in the first year university
examinations. Selection for teams to represent the Business School and university will also be partly
based on academic merit. First year university results are frequently a consideration.
10.3 Registration for optional first year module
Students can register online for their first year option, and all modules until 30 September 2015.
For further information go to the registration website www.nuigalway.ie/registration
10.4Blackboard
Blackboard is the NUI Galway virtual learning environment. On Blackboard you will find
information for each of your modules. These modules are maintained by the lecturers and are
the primary recourse for lecture notes and materials. Notes and module materials available on
Blackboard are not a substitute for lecture attendance.

STUDENT GUIDE
10.5Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking the credit for someone else’s ideas, and making out that you thought of these
ideas yourself. This is a form of intellectual theft. In third level colleges, plagiarism is a serious
offence. It merits a severe penalty. In some colleges, the student loses the entire marks for that
assignment. In other colleges, the student is brought before a disciplinary committee. You need
to be aware of how serious an offence plagiarism is, and take care to avoid it in your assignments,
and particularly in a thesis. The J. E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics has two plagiarism
advisors, Anatoli Nachev and Mairéad Hogan, who are responsible for dealing with suspected and
reported cases of plagiarism and acting in accordance with the University’s Code of Practice for
Dealing with Plagiarism. Please see http://www.nuigalway.ie/plagiarism for further details.
10.6 Code of Conduct
Please be advised that as a student of NUI Galway you are required to abide by the NUI Galway
Code of Conduct. The code of conduct applies to all university related activities whether located
on or off campus. You can familiarise yourself with the code of conduct on www.nuigalway.ie/
codeofconduct
10.7 Withdrawing from the programme
If at any stage you decide to withdraw from your course, you may do so by filling in a withdrawal form
at the Admissions Office. However, before doing so we strongly recommend that you speak to the
staff of the School Office or to the Programme Director. Please see School Office details under ‘Useful
Contacts’.
10.8 General University Advisory
There are several sources of advice that will be available throughout your time at NUI, Galway. Some
students may find the transition from school to University unsettling; it can be lonely at times and hard
to be away from home. Don’t feel you need to keep these problems to yourself. Talk to someone about
them. Often the best source of advice can be from fellow students. The Students Union at NUI Galway
are very active in assisting students in getting the most out of college life and we encourage you to
become familiar with your union. You will find a wealth of useful information on www.su.nuigalway.ie
and if you want to know what’s really happening on campus be sure to click on the SIN link.
