Management Programme is

offering undergraduate

degrees from HWU. Four

HWMP Degrees are offered

at B&B. These are the BA

in Business Administration,

Accountancy & Finance,

Business & Finance and

Management & Psychology.

Each degree option is struc-

tured in three progressive

stages, with each stage com-

prising four common

streams called module sets.

Module sets are comprised

of either a) two linked sub-

jects covering a particular

topic that is worth a total of

30 credits, or b) Two “stand

-alone” subjects that are

worth 15 credits each. Stu-

dents are required to com-

plete two of these “stand-

alone” subjects to gain the

30 credits required for the

completion of a module set.

Students who have achieved

360 credits over the period

of study are awarded the

degree. For all degree op-

tions, students may choose

any combination of mod-

ules in a stage and between

stages, providing that the

pre-requisites for that par-

ticular module are met

(there are no pre-requisites

for Stage I). As such, it is

possible to do as little as

one and as much as four

(the maximum allowable)

modules in any one year.

Exemptions can be offered

for modules based on the

submissions to HWU of the

tertiary-level qualifications

held and an assessment by

that body. However, the

total number of exemptions

granted is limited to a maxi-

Heriot-Watt University Student Testimonials

Natalie Jones,

Barbados

I chose the Heriot Watt

University programme based on

three criteria: flexibility, popularity

and range of programmes available. I

liked that this programme did not

require me to submit periodic as-

signments, only self-study and ex-

aminations as frequently as my work

schedule would permit. Good pro-

gramme, great flexibility, with online

and electronic study resources to

help me along the way.

Alfred Okot Okidi,

Uganda

“I have found the Heriot

Watt programme to be unique, prac-

tical, relevant and so enriching.

The programme was quite taxing, as

I had to blend my reading with a

demanding work schedule. The

beauty of the programme to me was

in the flexibility of the course and

concise course materials presented in

stimulating language. I treasure the

programme more than all my earlier

qualifications and courses.

Jason Julien,

Trinidad & Tobago

The HWU experience far exceeded

my expectations. The quality of

the teaching materials was first-

class, as they were well written and

effectively communicated the com-

plex concepts. In addition to pre-

senting theory and practice, the au-

thors fostered critical thinking with

their narrative. I highly recommend

HWU for anyone seeking to equip

themselves for the challenges of

today’s competitive world.

“Completing this Programme has truly made me proud of myself. For all my accomplishments so far I think this is the one that tops

them all. I always dreamed of obtaining a tertiary education and I’m happy I did it when I did. It has certainly made a positive change in

my life and I ‘m excited to take my career to the next level.” Graduate BA in Accountancy and Finance - T&T

Psychology studies and analyses human functions and behaviour so as to predict and shape actions. A large part of manage-ment science is about guiding and shaping our “people assets” to produce the desired behaviours. The marriage of the two

areas in the BA in Management and Psychology is then a perfect complement that gives you knowledge of a wide range of the issues that affect a business environment and how you can develop and implement the right action plans for success within that environment. Graduates will be well-prepared for careers in business management, teaching, counselling, nurs-ing, social work, probation work and market research, as well as careers within the psychology profession itself.

Class Structure and Schedule

Lectures in the available degree options will be held on weekdays during the daytime be-tween the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and in the evenings between the hours of 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Lectures will also be held on Sundays (depending on the number of registrations) between 9:00 am-4:00 pm. The lectures will focus on the review, discussion and practical application of key concepts and material. This learning style is designed to deepen the

knowledge of an area by encouraging a critical-thinking approach revolving around an un-derstanding of the material, rather than a detailed “rote-learning” regurgitation of the sylla-bus. The lectures would be followed by a tutorial at the start of each month (weekly for the

day programme). This will be focused on solving problems related to the issues covered in the lectures for the preceding month. A breakdown of the allocated times is shown below:

Experience in

tertiary

education…

For over 20 years,

B&B has been

seen as the

established leader

in the teaching of

tertiary-level

professional

certifications,

such as the

Certified Public

Accountant, the

Certified

Professional

Secretary and the

Professional in

Human

Resources...

The norma l en t ry requirements are two CAPE/English A-level subjects at grades D or above. Persons who pos-sess a recognised Di-ploma, Associate Degree or professional qualifica-tion from a recognised institution are welcome. You may obtain up to six exemptions depending on the type of qualifications you possess.

Mature applicants who do not have the minimum qualifications but with have appropriate work experience or other non-standard qualifications may also be accepted on merit. These persons would not receive any exemptions.

Applicants must submit a reference on their suit-ability for the degree.

Choosing a subject to study at the tertiary level is one of the most important deci-sions you will make in your life. It sets a foundation for the rest of your professional life and to quite an extent your personal life too. It is important to choose a course of study that suits your requirements and needs. Thinking about your studies in advance is crucial to making the right deci-sion. Before com-mitting to a course of study, we suggest that you ask yourself the following ques-tions:

• Why you have chosen a

particular course of

study? Am I really do-

ing this for me?;

• Will this Degree improve

my chances of follow-

ing my chosen career?

• What are the Course

options within the sub-

ject? Do they interest

me?

• Will my Degree be

recognised locally and

internationally?

The time spent answering these questions will be well spent!

The most important factor in your choice is that you find a subject that you enjoy. Everything else is secondary!

Specially designed interac-tive and text based course materials have been devel-oped for the HWMP. These are provided to students as part of the course cost. The textbook course materials provide information on:

• Expected learning out-

comes;

• Subjects to be studied;

• Self-test questions, prac-

tice and tutorial ques-

tions with solutions.

The course texts contain all of the required content to-gether with self-assessment exercises. The course texts have been designed to pro-vide a progressive learning experience through sequen-tial modules which build upon the information and knowledge learnt in previ-ous modules of the course.

The materials assume a zero-base knowledge of the sub-ject. There is no formal re-quirement for additional reading; however, some of the courses do contain a reading list, which may be useful to students wishing to deepen their understand-ing of the subject. The course texts form the core resource for students and the teaching programme is built around the course con-tent as provided in the texts

Students have access to the HWMP website providing online learning resources developed by HWU. These include past examination papers and solutions, exam tips, student guides, discus-sion forums, interactive questions and email ex-changes

Classroom tuition is also available through B&B, an approved Approved Learn-ing Partner (LLP) of HWU. Whilst students on the HWMP are matriculated students of Heriot-Watt University, they are also registered with an LLP which provides local con-text and tutorial support. These academic centres and their tutors are proved by

HWU to offer the award and the University ensures that quality and standards are comparable to those on campus within the UK.

Review classes in a particular subject will be held once every two

weeks. Students have enough time to review material and prepare

for new topics, which deepens the benefits gained from the class

discussions…..The classes will focus on the review, discussion and

practical application of key concepts and material. This learning

style is designed to deepen the knowledge of an area by encouraging

a critical-thinking approach revolving around an understanding

of the material, rather than a detailed “rote-learning” regurgitation

of the syllabus....
