Teaching & Learning

Learning, Teaching and Assessment Methods

The objective of the course is to develop knowledge, skills and analytical ability of students to enable them to enter a successful career in business organisations. The general approach to the learning process involves:

  • Lecture
  • Workshops/Seminars
  • Self-study and directed research

The assessment strategy is designed to ensure the learning outcomes are achieved and that there is progressive development of knowledge and skill.

This Level 6 course places significant emphasis on independent learning and requires students to undertake critical analysis and evaluation to attain a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.

The assessment strategies within the specialist modules provide more challenging opportunities for developing critical analysis and evaluation through problem-solving, case studies and the dissertation.

Formative assessment is a key feature of the programme enabling early feedback to be given on progress and to help students improve performance. Assessment at all levels is by coursework, practical tasks and group work, with some modules being assessed by 100% coursework. The course is designed to give students the opportunities to undertake work-based learning and enterprise activities which can form part of the learning and assessment of the programme.

Students at level 6 will also engage in the following:

  • Dissertation
  • Negotiated Work-Based Learning

The dissertation is an independent research project which is based on an approved topic to be investigated, and the outcome is likely to answer a set of research questions. The dissertation is expected to be submitted in the form of a thesis. Formative feedback is provided by regular discussions with the dissertation supervisor and through comments received on draft chapters.

The Negotiated Work Based project centres on each learner’s personal development and growth as a business school graduate. Sessions focus on building subject knowledge through class discussions, seminars, case studies, and practical immersion in the learner’s chosen field or role. Learners are encouraged to complete personal and career development activities for graduate employment which may inform their summative assessment. Additional module activities, led by lecturers or learners, offer further opportunities for field immersion or leadership development. Small teams will engage in practical seminar tasks including simulations, problem solving, teamwork, debates, and peer-to-peer teaching.
