COMBINED HONOURS MODULE PRE-REGISTRATION HANDBOOK FOR 2012/13 AS OF 16/3/12 MODULE PRE-REGISTRATION GUIDELINES All students must take 120 credits in total per year and no more than 70 credits in any one semester. CURRENT STAGE 1 STUDENTS You must decide whether to continue with all three subjects, or whether to drop one subject and only study two. If one subject is to be dropped there is a further decision to be made in regard to whether an equal credit split (60/60) is studied, or whether a major/minor route is studied (80/40). For example: History (40); Politics (40); Sociology (40) = 120 credits History (60); Politics (60) = 120 credits History (80); Politics (40) = 120 credits Combined Honours degree Joint degree Major/Minor degree Please note: You may replace modules with up to 20 credits of Career Development/Combined Honours Graduate Development modules listed below. You must take the same credit split in Stage 3 as you take in Stage 2. Your degree title is defined by your module credit split as detailed above. CURRENT STAGE 2 STUDENTS You must take subjects previously studied at Stage 2 with the same credit split. See above for degree title information.

Accountancy is concerned with the provision and analysis of information for a variety of decision-making, accountability, managerial, regulatory, and resource allocation purposes. It is practised, in part, within a professional service context, allowing students to gain exemption from the foundation level professional accounting examinations. Accounting as a degree subject requires students to study how the design, operation and validation of accounting systems affects, and is affected by, individuals, organisations, markets and society. This study is informed by perspectives from the social sciences. Such perspectives may include, but are not restricted to, the behavioural, the economic, the political, and the sociological. Economics is the study of the factors that influence income, wealth and well-being. From this it seeks to inform the design and implementation of economic policy. Its aim is to analyse and understand the allocation, distribution and utilisation of scarce resources and their consequences for economic and social well-being. Economics is concerned both with how present allocations arise and with how they may change in the future. Studying economics requires an understanding of how resources are used and how households and firms behave and interact. This understanding is required at both the individual (micro) and the aggregate (macro) level. Economics is a key discipline in the social sciences. Its subject matter engages with other subject areas such as psychology, politics, sociology, anthropology, geography, history and law. It also uses mathematics and statistics and is engaging increasingly with sciences such as biology, environmental science and medicine. Furthermore, since knowledge of economics is essential for an understanding of business behaviour, strategy and corporate performance, it is one of the central disciplines underpinning the study of business and management and related areas. Marketing and Management combines topics in both marketing and management to provide students with a broad understanding of business concepts and contemporary marketing theory and practice. This is supported by modules in core management theory that aid your understanding of the role of marketing in business and organisations. The programme has a strong vocational orientation, with emphasis placed on experiential learning. Students are given the opportunity to apply theory to practice through the use of case studies, practical projects and an optional work placement.
