2 Introduction This handbook summarises the most important aspects of practice and procedure in the management of the department of Business and Management s Undergraduate taught courses, and is designed to provide you with: a clear outline of what you should expect in the management of your degree course; a clear indication of what is expected of you during your time in Business and Management; a convenient source of information about the mechanics of some of the more common administrative procedures used during a student s progress from admission to examination. Message from the Head of Department & Director of Studies Welcome to the University of Sussex. I hope that you will enjoy studying with us and that you will learn a lot that will be of use to you moving forward. The modules that you will be taking will be taught by nationally and internationally recognized scholars from around the world and by our network of successful local practitioners. This will enable you to learn about both the theory and practice of your chosen area of study. You should find your studies challenging at Sussex but hopefully also rewarding as they prepare you to make an impact in whatever you chose to do after you complete your degree. You will also be studying with students from different backgrounds and there is a wealth of opportunity to interact with other students on the Sussex campus. I hope that you will take the opportunity to interact with people who are different to yourself and so develop your social skills, so important in global businesses today. I wish you every success in your studies in the Department of Business and Management at the University of Sussex. Prof. Sue Newell Head of Department & Director of Studies Message from the Course Convenor Welcome to the International Business (IB) course. As an IB student you will enjoy exploring your educational journey that ensures prosperous career opportunities in the near future. The IB program is full of the challenges and opportunities that help you understand the importance of building a make-adifference mind-set. This course provides the opportunity to sharpen your knowledge of modern business with the experience of another culture. The course will also facilitate the development of your creative and strategic thinking and strengthen the ability to foster strong leadership. I hope that you take this opportunity to transform your potential value into your actual value through our innovative and excellent course and I look forward to personally welcoming you in Brighton! Dr Norifumi Kawai Course Convenor of BSc International Business 2
3 Course Outline There are two versions of the BSc (Hons) International Business Course, one of which includes a Professional Placement Year. Students on both versions study the same course, so this handbook is relevant to all. Students who take a placement will do so in Year 3, before returning to the University to study their final year in Year 4. Students on the Professional Placement version of the course should continue their placement preparation throughout the autumn. A programme of events and activities is jointly organised by the School and the Careers and Employability Centre to support students with their placement applications. Students who do not take a placement usually complete the course in three years. Your final classification is awarded according to your grand mean. The grand mean is calculated by combining stage means from the second and final year at a weighting of 40% and 60% respectively. Modules and Convenors You will normally study four modules per term. Each module carries 15 credits, therefore you will study 8 x 15 credits = 120 credits per year. Each module is organised by a Module Convenor a member of faculty who designs and delivers the module, and manages the assessments. Module material (including a handbook and lecture slides) is provided by the Convenor on Study Direct. To progress on to the second year of your studies you will need 120 credits. This usually requires you to pass all modules, but there is a provision within the University exam Regulations for compensation in two modules. Assessments are held in the teaching block in which the module is delivered for coursework, and in the assessment block following for exams. Electives are a feature of UG courses at Sussex and give students an opportunity to study modules which are outside of their subject specialism. This can give a valuable new perspective, and contribute to the inter-disciplinary flavour of UG provision at our University. 3

11 Assessment Criteria Exams, Essays and Reports Markers of exams, essays and reports will refer to the following criteria when marking your work. They may also provide additional criteria specific to certain assessments. Mark % High Distinction Distinction Merit High Pass Pass Assessment Criteria A mark in this range is indicative of outstanding work. Marks in this range will be awarded for work that exhibits all the attributes of excellent work but has very substantial elements of originality and flair. For quantitative assessments, marks in this range will not be given simply for providing the right answers; in addition, the answer should provide a coherent mathematical argument. A mark in this range is indicative that the work is of an excellent standard for the current level of the degree. The work will exhibit excellent levels of knowledge and understanding comprising all the qualities of good work stated above, with additional elements of originality and flair. The work will demonstrate a range of critical reading that goes well beyond that provided on reading lists. Answers or written works will be fluently-written and include independent argument that demonstrates an awareness of the nuances and assumptions of the question or title. Written works will make excellent use of appropriate, fully referenced, detailed examples. A mark in this range is indicative of that the work is of a good to very good standard for the current level of your degree. Work of this quality shows a good level of knowledge and understanding of relevant course material. It will show evidence of reading a wide diversity of material and of being able to use ideas gleaned from this reading to support and develop arguments. Written work will exhibit good writing skills with well organized, accurate footnotes and/or a bibliography that follows the accepted style of the subject. Arguments and issues will be illustrated by reference to well documented, detailed and relevant examples. There should be clear evidence of critical engagement with the objects, issues or topics being analysed. Any quantitative work will be clearly presented, the results should be correct and any conclusions clearly and accurately expressed. A mark in this range is indicative that the work is of a satisfactory to very satisfactory standard at the current level of your degree. Work of this quality will show clear knowledge and understanding of relevant course material. It will focus on the written work title or question posed and show evidence that relevant basic works of reference have been read and understood. The work will exhibit sound written work and/or analytical skills. It will be reasonably well structured and coherently presented. Written work should exhibit satisfactory use of footnotes and/or a bibliography and in more quantitative work it should be possible to follow the logical steps leading to the answer obtained and the conclusions reached. Arguments and issues should be discussed and illustrated by reference to examples, but these may not fully documented or detailed. A mark in this range is indicative that the work is of an acceptable standard at the current the level of your degree. Work of this type will show limited knowledge and understanding of relevant course material. It will show evidence of some reading and comprehension, but the written work or answer may be weakly structured, cover only a limited range of the relevant material or have a weakly developed or incomplete argument. The work will exhibit weak written work or analytical skills. It may be poorlypresented without properly laid out footnotes and/or a bibliography, or in the case of quantitative work, it may not be possible to follow the several steps in the logic and reasoning leading to the results obtained and the conclusions reached. 11
12 35-39 Marginal fail 1-34 Fail A mark in this range is indicative that the work is below, but at the upper end is approaching, the standard required at the current level of your degree. It indicates weak work of an inadequate standard. This will be because either the work is too short, is very poorly organized, or is poorly directed at the written work title or question asked. It will show very limited knowledge or understanding of the relevant course material and display weak writing and/or analytical skills. Written work will exhibit no clear argument, may have very weak spelling and grammar, very inadequate or absent references and/or bibliography and may contain major factual errors. Quantitative work will contain significant errors and incorrect conclusions. A mark at this level is indicative that the work is far below the standard required at the current level of your degree. It indicates that the work is extremely weak and seriously inadequate. This will be because either the work is far too short, is badly jumbled and incoherent in content, or fails to address the written work title or question asked. It will show very little evidence of knowledge or understanding of the relevant course material and may exhibit very weak writing and/or analytical skills. 0 Student absent from examination or no script submitted For many assessments you may also receive more specific guidance. This typically takes the form of indicating where marks can be earned. For example in the first year Introduction to Business and Management module students are required to produce a 1,000 word essay. The marks for this are allocated in the following way: The marks for your essay will be allocated in the following way 1. Clarity, style, layout and fluency: 20 marks 2. Reading and referencing: 20 marks 3. Understanding shown of your chosen managerial process: 20 marks 4. Appropriate application of your chosen managerial process to your chosen organisation and the evidence base: 25 marks 5. Evidence of the ability to make informed critical judgement: 15 marks Please note that as in criterion 1 above we expect our students to produce work which is clearly written and which is appropriate to the required format for the set assignment in this case an essay. We expect work to be proof-read and to show good attention to the 'basics' of grammar and spelling. This is something that comes naturally to many of our students but others need to develop their style and standard of written English. 12
13 Presentations and Posters Markers of presentations and posters will refer to the following criteria when marking your work. They may also provide additional criteria specific to certain assessments. Mark % Assessment Criteria Very well prepared, confidently and clearly delivered, at a pace and in a style that suits the needs of the audience. Well-researched. Difficult or subtle points put across with conviction. Excellent use of the time available, and of visual aids and handouts. Answers to questions well fielded. Well-prepared and delivered, appropriate to audience. Good use of time and of any visual aids and handouts, with competent answers to questions. Good preparation and delivery, related to the needs of the audience. The main ideas conveyed competently. Some weaknesses in time management, or in answers to some questions, but showing a sound knowledge of the subject matter, and some level of critical thought. Adequate answers to most questions. Adequate preparation and delivery, some ideas explained competently, if perhaps briefly. Questions understood and answered, at least in part. Fair knowledge of the topic. Inadequate preparation and delivery. Some points of relevance to the topic made, but presented in a muddled or unconvincing manner. Little evidence of relevant knowledge beyond the content of the presentation. Inaccuracies in key respects. May show poor time management, poor or no use of visual aids and/or poor fielding of questions. The standards by which criteria for exams, essays, reports, presentations and posters are judged depend on the level of the module. For example, for the work to be rated as excellent a higher level of understanding is demanded from a third year student, compared with a first year student writing on the same topic. External Examiners Each of the modules that you study are quality-assured by the involvement of senior academics from other leading universities. These are our 'External Examiners' and their role is to ensure that your degree from Sussex is of a standard that is in line with those from other universities. External examiners advise us on our marking standards and on the design of our assessments. They also participate in our examination boards. Here is a list of our current team of External Examiners: BSc Accounting & Finance Dr Oliver Marnet University of Southampton BSc Business & Management Studies Dr Lynne Baldwin Brunel University BSc Business with HRM Dr Arjan Keizer Manchester Business School BSc Finance Dr Lara Cathcart Imperial College London BSc International Business Dr Jonathan Murphy Cardiff University BSc Marketing & Management Prof. Edward Shiu Bangor University Research Projects and Placements Dr Jimmy Huang University of Warwick 13
14 Transferring to a Different Course We hope that you are happy with your choice of degree and that you progress within it by successfully meeting each challenge as it comes. However, one of the advantages of studying with us is that you may be able to transfer into any of the following degree courses for your second year - Business & Management Studies; Business with Human Resource Management; and Marketing and Management. As all students studying these degrees study the same modules in the first year, there are no barriers to this process and you can apply at the end of your first year. However, if you wish to transfer to the Accounting and Finance or Finance degree then you really need to apply during the first two weeks of the autumn term. If you have not done so by then, and decide later that you want to change, it is highly unlikely that your application will be successful as you will have missed some specialised modules. If you wish to consider transferring to a new degree, please make an appointment with your Academic Advisor to discuss the options available. Contact Details You should also keep in touch with your Academic Advisor, and contact the Student Life Centre for help with any personal issues you face. Your course convenor should be able to help you find an answer to any questions you have during your studies.
