EDUCATIONAL AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
The BA (Hons) Business Management programmes aim to develop confident, responsible and
innovative managers and leaders of the future who are able to meet the challenges of managing and
leading sustainable businesses in a complex and global economy.
The programmes are designed to enable students to explore the principles underlying business
management, the dynamic inter-relationships between different aspects of business and
interactions with the external environment. Core themes of responsible management and ethical
leadership are embedded throughout the programme and, throughout the programme, students are
encouraged to identify and reflect on their own personal values and beliefs and how their
behaviours and decisions impact others.
Throughout their studies, students’ critical thinking and analytical skills will be developed enhancing
their innovative capability and ability to interpret data to inform strategies and decisions for
sustainable business development.
The programmes aim to build student awareness and understanding of multi-cultural perspectives in
business and society, through critical appraisal of international organisations and their operations.
This is supported by opportunities to study abroad as part of an exchange programme.
Students are able to pursue personal learning goals and career aspirations by selecting their own
journey through the programmes from a range of business disciplines. Students will learn through a
combination of theoretical and experiential learning, which include project and consultancy based
work with professionals from a variety of specialisms and may opt to undertake a work placement as
part of these programmes.
In addition, the BA (Hons) Business Management programme with Enterprise and Innovations seeks
to build specialist knowledge and skills in areas such as entrepreneurship, enterprise development,
and creativity and innovation within business.
3.1
The aims of the Programmes are:
a) To provide students with a broad and holistic knowledge of business organisations, and the
changing external environment in which businesses operate.
b) To produce graduates who have an appreciation of the moral and ethical responsibilities of
business, including an awareness of the need to generate sustainable value for their businesses
and society at large, and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy.
c) To equip students with the ability to critically evaluate and apply a range of theoretical
approaches, methods and practices, found within the areas of business management.
d) To provide opportunities for students to experience the inter-relationship between theory and
practice, thereby assisting in their personal development, self-awareness and reflection.
e) To prepare students for the challenges of employment, enhancing employability through the
nurturing of student’s innovative, intellectual, analytical and practical skills that will meet the
requirements of a dynamic and vibrant business environment.
The BA (Hons) Business Management programme is offered as a combined subject with Law,
Broadcast Television and Media Production, Politics and Global Studies, Psychology, Sports
Management and Modern Liberal Arts. During their business management studies, combined
honours students will study modules relevant for their combined areas of study. Business, contract
and commercial law is a significant area of legal practice and general business management modules
give a context to more specialist law modules. Broadcast Television and Media Production includes
aspects of operations and project management, and these are reinforced by more general
marketing, people and financial management. The emphasis on responsibility, governance and
globalisation within the BA (Hons) Business Management programme makes it well suited for
combination with Politics and Global Studies. Psychology is a key discipline within business
management and areas such as organisational psychology and consumer psychology are important

service operations management, marketing and project management.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ENHANCEMENT
Page 12 of 22
6.1
Mechanisms for review and evaluation:
Quality assurance and enhancement at Module Level
Students provide feedback to module tutors through Module Evaluation Forms, reviews and other
responses. The tutor collates the evaluation forms and produces a response for discussion at
Programme Committee. The response identifies good practice and proposes remedies for any points
of concern. The response is made available to students at the next running of the module.
Quality assurance and enhancement at Programme Level
The Programme Committee evaluates the success of the programme, paying particular attention to
student feedback and student representatives. Minutes from the Programme Committee and the
External Examiners report will inform the Annual Programme Evaluation which is submitted for
approval to the Faculty Academic Development Committee. Issues for attention are identified and
included in the action plan for the following year.
Quality assurance and enhancement at Department Level
The Annual Programme Evaluation is submitted to the Department for discussion and to draw out
department objectives.
Quality assurance and enhancement at Faculty Level
The Annual Programme Evaluation is submitted to the Faculty Academic Development Committee
which has oversight of learning development in the Faculty, including via the Peer Observation of
Teaching.
Quality assurance and enhancement at University Level
The quality of the programme is monitored by an External Examiner appointed by the University’s
Senate Academic Development Committee. The External Examiner’s Report is distributed to the
Vice-Chancellor, First Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Director of Academic Quality and Development, the
Faculty Dean and Faculty Head of Quality. A summary of all external examiner reports is received at
Senate Academic Development Committee. An annual audit of Faculties is conducted by Senate
Academic Development Committee.
Quality assurance and enhancement for Staff
The quality of learning and teaching is supported by the Peer Observation of Teaching and Staff
Development, by Staff Development and Review, by attendance at conferences and curriculumfocused staff development, by external involvement such as external examining and by involvement
in research and knowledge exchange activities.

Engagement with Work Based Learning and Placements Approved Procedures
The work based studies modules at levels 5 and 6 enable students to apply learning to practice. The

performance; as well as reflecting on their role within the organisation and their individual
development needs. Thereby increasing their potential for success in the workplace.
The year-long work placement is an option for students who wish to undertake meaningful and
relevant employment experience. A placement co-ordinator is responsible for approving host
organisations; ensuring that host organisations and students are aware of their responsibilities; and
monitoring/ evaluating the placement in line with university policy. The student is supported during
this period by a work place supervisor and will be required to maintain a record of their work
experience, how they have applied their learning, and a reflection on their experience to identify
skills they have developed and any further development needs.
The programme also offers students the opportunity to engage in work based learning through the
Volunteering modules in which students acquire placements to work with the voluntary sector. The
module tutor works in collaboration with the appropriate faculty or central university staff, such as
the Volunteering Co-ordinator, in approving these placements in line with university policy.
