3 Introduction The BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management course offers two pathways, Human Resource Management (HRM) and Human Resource Development (HRD). The rationale behind the pathways is to recognise the different strands and mirror the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) national standards. This is a unique selling point for our students as they will receive accreditation with one of the following awards: Intermediate Certificate in HRM or HRD Intermediate Diploma in HRM or HRD. The Course Coventry University has delivered HRM courses for over 30 years and this course is designed to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by HRM professionals today and support individuals looking to develop a career in managing and leading people. You will have the chance to undertake work experience during your period of study and you will be supported by staff in identifying suitable opportunities. Staff teaching on the programme all have business, research and consultancy experience in the area of Human Resource Management.

For those students who may wish to continue their studies there are a number of postgraduate HRM courses available. The Market There is a requirement for the course as it will provide progression for A Levels, BTEC/National Diploma, CIPD Foundation level 3 and level 4, matrure learners and international students. The course will be marketed to Home/EU and International students using the existing marketing and promotion channels used by the Faculty. Special marketing concentration should be given to the following international markets; India, Africa and the Middle East becasue of the growth in students from these area on HRM programmes at Coventry University and the rapid development of HRM in these countries. The market is likely to grow as there is no BA degree course that also provides CIPD accreditation/membership. The expected numbers for 0/3 is 0 home students and plus an intake of international students. Any awarding CIPD institution, Birmingham City University, Aston University, DeMontford University, Nottingham Trent University, Wolverhampton University and Northampton University. Dual award Diploma in HRM/HRD CIPD membership and BA degree in Business and Human Resource Management. Students also have the opportunity to link with the local CIPD branch network. Resources The BES HRM department have staff with the right qualifications and experience to deliver the programmes. It is important that staff have had industrial experience and continue to be involved with industry through i.e. research, and consultancy. Staff in the department contribute to the HRM Research and Consultancy Group. While students on the programme have access to the excellent library facilities at the Lanchester Library Coventry University (a range of books and journals). CIPD students will also have access to the specialist electronic library provided by CIPD.

12 6 Method for Evaluating and Enhancing the Quality and Standards of Teaching and Learning The Programme is managed by the HROB Board of Studies of the Faculty of Business, Environment & Society. The Programme Assessment Board (PAB) for HROB is responsible for considering the progress of all students and making awards in accordance with both the University and course-specific regulations. The assurance of the quality of modules is the responsibility of the Boards of Studies which contribute modules to the programme. External Examiners report annually on the programme and their views are considered as part of the annual quality monitoring process (AQM). Details of the AQM process can be found on the Academic Registry s web site. Students are represented on the Student Forum, Board of Studies and Faculty Board, all of which normally meet two or three times per year. Student views are also sought through module and course evaluation questionnaires. A system of staff peer observation is in place where peer reviews are conducted on an annual basis. 7 Regulation of Assessment University policy requires the internal moderation of assessments. External Examiners are appointed for all named University awards. The role of the External Examiner at module level is to ensure that academic standards are in line with national norms for the subject. External Examiners undertake the moderation of examination papers, and view representative samples of work for the modules for which they have responsibility. At programme level, External examiners help to ensure fairness in the consideration of student progression and awards. They have the right to comment on all aspects of the assessment system and participate as full members of the assessment boards. The Pass mark for all modules is 40%. This overall module mark may comprise more than one component (e.g. coursework and exam). The individual module descriptors give the precise pass criteria and the weighting of the component marks that contribute to the overall module mark. On Undergraduate programmes, the Honours classification boundaries for First Class, Upper Second Class, Lower Second Class and Third Class are 70%, 60%, 50% and 40% respectively. 8 Indicators of Quality and Standards The following are key indicators of quality and standards: The programme has been designed in accordance with the QAA benchmark statements for Undergraduate degrees in Business and Management (007) The HRM department has a growing research portfolio in a number of HRM and HRD areas All teaching members of staff have teaching responsibilities and relevant qualifications The CIPD local Coventry and Warwickshire Branch work with the University to organisation local events for employers and HR professionals Representatives from local organisations contribute to the development of the programme through supporting workshops, being guest speakers and supporting and commenting on the development of the programmes RAE ratings and or Research Centre/Units within the subject area. The report of QAA s Institutional Audit undertaken in November 008 confirmed that Confidence can be placed in the soundness of the institution s current and likely future management of the academic standards of its awards Confidence can be placed in the soundness of the institution s current and likely future management of the quality of the learning opportunities.

20 Part : Supporting Information for BA (Hons) Business and Human Resource Management Relationship to the National Qualifications Framework, Subject Benchmarks and Professional/Statutory Body requirements This Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) approved programme will incorporate the CIPD HR Profession Map which is a comprehensive view of how HR adds the greatest sustained value to the organizations it operates in, now and in the future. It combines the highest standards of professional competence with the closest alignment to organizational goals, to deliver sustained performance. It captures what HR people do and deliver across every aspect and specialism of the profession and it looks at the underpinning skills, behavior and knowledge that they need to be most successful. It also creates a clear and flexible framework for career progression, recognizing that both HR roles and career progression vary. The profession Map also creates a coherent progression route that reflects learners needs. Please see Profession Map below: Professional areas The intended learning outcomes of the course relate to the relevant qualification descriptor in the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
