9.EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF THE PROGRAMME
Specified in terms of the general intentions of the programme and its relation to the subject
The aims of this programme are aligned to those of Newcastle Business School. As such the programme aims to
1. provide programmes of study that enable students to develop their knowledge, understanding and transferable skills through exposure to the theory and
practice of business and management and their specialist subject area;
2. develop students’ independent learning skills;
3. develop students’ employability;
4. provide high quality teaching and learning;
5. utilise teaching and assessment methods which provide learning opportunities appropriate to the learning outcomes and levels of study;
6. provide an appropriate learning environment by incorporating effective support and guidance;
7. provide appropriate learning resources;
8. provide a physical environment that is conducive for effective learning;
9. support the mission of the University by providing access to students from a range of backgrounds.
The programme provides students with an opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of the full range of business and management disciplines in
preparation for a career in management with multi-national enterprises. The first two years of the programmes provides exposure to the main functional
areas of business and related subjects and then allows students in the final year, should they choose, to broaden and deepen their understanding in one of
those functional areas.

10. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
specified in terms of performance capabilities to be shown on
completion of the programme
a. Knowledge and understanding
By the end of their undergraduate programmes of study students will be
able to demonstrate the acquisition of knowledge and understanding of
theory and practice related to business and management and their
specialist subject area;
Graduates will be able to demonstrate a knowledge and understanding
of
a) organisations
b) the external environment in which they operate; and
c) the way in which they are managed
11. LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS
Specified to enable learners to achieve and demonstrate learning
outcomes
NB the methods referred to below apply to each of the learning Outcomes
sections 10 a) – c). Where more specific Learning, Teaching and
Assessment methods apply, these will be referred to opposite the relevant
sections 10 b) –c).
1
Programme subject content is delivered via modules. The module
descriptor describes the content of the module and its teaching,
learning and assessment approaches, together with the notional
student workload divided between lectures, seminars, workshops,
tutorials, directed and independent learning and assessment.
2
At the start of a module teaching and learning plans are routinely
distributed. The teaching and learning plans will include the aims and
learning outcomes of the module being studied. Additionally, the plans
will provide further details of the objectives, the material to be covered,
additional reading and suggested independent learning activities for
the contact sessions. Such information aims to help students to use
independent study time more effectively and to monitor their own
progress against objectives. To ensure consistency across module
delivery, Module Tutors are responsible for co-ordinating the production
and distribution of all module material to the teaching team.
3
For taught modules, lectures are the primary medium utilised to deliver
the basic knowledge input required to meet the module learning
outcomes. The teaching and learning plans discussed above will
identify additional reading required to supplement the materials covered
in lectures.
The inter-relationship of these three main outcomes will be developed
throughout the programme. The issues and factors underlying these
outcomes will be dealt with in the discrete modules making up the
programme. The discrete modules constituting the core of the
programme will demonstrate knowledge and understanding in the
following areas; markets; customers; finance; people; operations;
information systems; CIT; business policy and strategy; ethical and
contemporary issues.
Level 4 modules provide a foundation to the programme and an
introduction to the specialist subject area. The first year of study seeks
to:
a) provide for the transition from school to higher education;
b) investigate areas of knowledge that provides an introduction to and
the foundation of a business and management programme; and
c) develops key skills, particularly in relation to numeracy, information
technology, CIT and interpersonal skills.
Level 5 modules broaden and deepen students’ knowledge and
understanding. The second year of the programme seeks to expand the
students’ knowledge in the key functional areas that represent the core
discipline within a business and management degree. At the end of this

year students will have a broad based appreciation of the functional
areas and will have an opportunity to reflect on the inter-connectedness
of the functional areas.
The learning outcomes of the modules studied in the second year seek
to develop the critical intellectual skills of analysis and evaluation. This
is supported by the assessment regime.
At Level 6 students’ knowledge and understanding is enhanced by
specialist subject modules, strategic management modules and the
undergraduate dissertation.
Lectures are supported where appropriate by seminars and workshops
that allow a range of teaching and learning approaches to be used, in
line with aim 5. Seminars are used to develop understanding and
application of the knowledge delivered in lectures. As such students
may expect to undertake a range of activities within seminar sessions.
Such activities may include case study analysis, group discussions,
individual or group presentations, problem solving and exercises related
to the subject. The teaching and learning plans will provide guidance on
the activities to be undertaken both within and prior to the seminar.
Specific seminar briefs may also be used to provide further details of
activities. The smaller size of group in seminars enables students to
benefit from formative feedback given during the seminar sessions.
The final year of study provides students with;
a) an opportunity to specialise in the key functional area of business
practice at a level that may attract appropriate professional
exemptions where relevant;
b) an opportunity to develop the key intellectual and personal skills
through a year long business related project;
c) an opportunity, through advanced modules in business policy and
strategy, to consider the inter-related nature of the functional areas
studied in the second year; and
d) in the context of the business ethics modules, consider the social
and political context in which management decisions are made.
The learning outcomes of the modules studied in the final year seek to
develop student’s critical faculties and their ability to apply appropriate
solutions to business issues.
The programme is designed to meet the general business and
management benchmark statement. It has been constructed to ensure
that by the end of the second year students will have covered all of the
major functional areas relevant to a study of organisations, the
management of such organisations and the external business
environment. The core subjects in the final year (Strategic Management
and Business Ethics) broaden and deepen student’s understanding of
the issues of Management and the societal context in which a company
operates.
Workshops are utilised, where appropriate, to develop understanding
and application of Information Technology in relation to the module
being studied. As with seminars, workshops involve smaller group sizes
and will utilise a range of activities to develop the skills required.
5
Tutorials are used to give one-to-one support for projects and
dissertations.
6
Increasingly, modules make use of ICTs in their teaching and learning
approaches. A number of modules provide students with electronic
resources made available via internal networks or the Internet. E-mail
contact between staff and students is common.
7
Independent and directed learning is incorporated within each module
and supports aim 2. This increases as students progress and
culminates in a final project or dissertation at both undergraduate and
postgraduate level.

Assessment
8
In support of aim 5, a range of assessment methods, linked to the
module learning outcomes, is used to support, inform and motivate
students’ practical and intellectual development. This includes, where
appropriate, the development of personal and interpersonal skills.
Examples of assessment methods include work-based assignments for
part-time students, group assignments and presentations, the use of
logbooks and traditional examinations.
9
Criteria are provided to enable students to understand what is expected
of them and how they will be judged on their performance. Informal
feedback on progress takes place, particularly in seminars and
workshops and through non-assessed tests, essays and assignment
preparation discussions. The use of teaching and learning plans
provides opportunities for students to monitor their own progress as
modules are delivered. Students are provided with feedback on
summative assignment work.
10 Assessments are moderated at both the setting and marking stage.
This takes place internally at level 1, and internally and externally at
higher levels. Feedback is obtained from staff, students and external
examiners and is used in both programme and module reviews.

16.SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR LEARNING
(i.e. Support in addition to University Central Support Services). Induction, study skills packs, guidance and tutorial systems, learning resources, professional body
requirements
Induction takes place before teaching begins and is organised on a programme basis. Its aim is to make students aware of the content and structure of the
academic programme, assessment regulations, formal and informal systems of support and guidance, University learning resources and, where appropriate, project
or dissertation processes. Students are advised of their Guidance Tutor and receive access to their Programme Handbook. International students are also offered
a specialist induction from the University’s Student Services Department
The Programme Handbook provides details of the academic programme to be followed. Students are then provided with module information at the beginning of
each module. Students are offered academic guidance and support at the module level by subject tutors, and across modules by their Guidance Tutor. Programme
Leaders act as Guidance Tutor to some students on their programme; on small programmes this may involve all students. Programme Leaders are also available to
discuss generic issues.
Where appropriate, group meetings for Guidance Tutors and their tutees are arranged during induction week or shortly afterwards. Thereafter, students and their
Guidance Tutors meet at least twice per year to discuss their progress on the programme. Students are encouraged to contact their Guidance Tutor at any time by
use of e-mail, telephone or in person. Students make use a Personal Progress File to record achievements throughout their time on a programme. Guidance Tutors
are supported in their role by Tutorial Advisors who also provide a link to services provided by the University.
Where appropriate, Guidance Tutors refer students to specialist services within the University for support related to both learning and pastoral issues such as the
study skills centre or services such as the Chaplaincy, accommodation, counselling, or health. At the time of writing revisions are being made to the induction
programme (offering a longer period of induction) and the guidance programme which will involve the creation of Year Tutors.
The Careers Service, Placements Office and Guidance Tutors work in partnership to provide support to students with the specialist business knowledge of Tutors
complemented by the guidance skills and comprehensive information resources of the Careers Service.
The Careers Service delivers an introductory session to final year undergraduate students on all programmes in the Autumn term. There is a careers adviser based
at Carlisle and regular visits are made to Longhirst. At City Campus students also attend a careers management module as part of their level 5 (year 2) studies.
The learning resources strategy is set within the context of the University’s learning resources strategy and aims to provide appropriate resources to support
students’ learning (aim 7).
Library service
Information specialists actively support teaching and learning. They attend formal programme committee meetings where issues of learning support are routinely
sought as part of the normal annual review process. Students are offered a variety of library information skills training including induction talks, self-guided tours,
resource packs, demonstration of electronic databases or hands-on workshops. In addition information specialists provide a subject enquiry service.
Indicative reading lists are provided as part of each module descriptor. These are used to inform the provision of library stock to support teaching and to control its
availability.
The Learning Resources Department is actively developing services, for example postal loans, to meet the demands of non-traditional students. The University’s
electronic information resources are accessible off-campus using passwords. Internet-based Hy-LiFe subject gateways have been developed to guide users to
appropriate electronic and printed information resources.

17. METHODS FOR EVALUATING AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY AND
STANDARDS OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
Quality procedures operate in accordance with the University’s quality assurance
principles, policies and practices.
Annual Academic Evaluation draws together the various review processes that support the
design and delivery of the learning process. Within this annual process, module review
feeds into subject and programme review; programme review feeds into programme
review. Module Tutors are responsible for the co-ordination of module review; Programme
Leaders for programme review.
18.INDICATORS FOR QUALITY AND STANDARDS
As with all other Higher Education providers, the Newcastle Business
School (NBS) provision is subject to external audit by the Quality
Assurance Agency (QAA). At both of the audits undertaken by the
QAA, NBS has been designated as 'excellent' in relation to its teaching
and learning. The first of these audits occurred in 1994, the second in
October 2001.
Feedback mechanisms that are utilised include: student feedback from module and
programme questionnaires and programme committee meetings each semester; staff
feedback from Divisional, module and programme review meetings. External Examiners’
comments are gained from Examination Boards, external moderation and through their
annual reports. Employer feedback is gained through practitioner External Examiners,
professional bodies, placement employers and part-time student feedback.
Changes arising from the review process are incorporated into module and programme
design on an on-going basis, and overall programme design is subject to an in depth
review every 3-5 years.

Programme Structure Please indicate any differences from main delivery eg restricted options. A diagram should be attached to demonstrate the
programme structure for this delivery.
MIS programme operates the Marketing pathway only. The programme structure is as originally validated, with the exception of module HR270 which
has been designed for the UK market and recently introduced to the UK programme structure. MIS students undertake BM201 which is considered at
this time more relevant although the HR270 module may be adapted in time for the overseas partnerships.
