Educational aims and learning outcomes of the programmes
Each of the programmes within the fields of Economics, Management, Finance and Social Science aims to offer a challenging, flexible scheme of study invigorated by research, which advances a student’s ability to develop academic and practical insights into the subjects studied. Students will be encouraged to develop a broad range of transferable and in some cases technical expertise.
Graduates of the programmes will have a sound basis for careers in a wide range of areas from major corporations to small businesses, government organisations, the voluntary sector, international organisation and the media.
Successful completion of a degree, with Honours, may allow a student to progress to postgraduate study in the degree field or a related area or to undertake further professional qualifications
Within the programmes there is a natural progression between the levels. A student who passes the 100 courses (FHEQ Level 4) will have the essential introduction to that subject. The 200 and 300 courses (FHEQ Level 5 and 6) build on the 100 courses and provide opportunity to develop a more detailed understanding. Although the courses may not in themselves be more difficult, students will develop a greater understanding and a sophistication of thinking as they work through the courses. The programmes aim to:
• promote independent critical and evaluative skills, and intellectual curiosity for life long learning;
• expandknowledge and understanding of the chosen discipline;
• promote analytical, creative and imaginative engagement with theory, research and practice in the chosen discipline;
• encourage self-development into professionally organised and interactive individuals by practicing skills of selection, assimilation and communication
