Since our earliest days we have been ground-breaking in our approach to teaching and research and as we approach our 50th anniversary in 2014, we continue to foster an environment of excellence and success. We produce work-place ready graduates who are sought-after around the world.

JOSEF DE JONG, MMS Analyst PE International It s a long way from Hamilton, New Zealand to Stuttgart, Germany 18,346 kilometres in fact but that s how far studying at the Waikato School can get you; a fact that Josef de Jong knows all too well. Now working for a globallyleading strategic consultancy firm, PE International, in Germany, Josef earned his BMS and MMS degrees at Waikato. It was the connections Josef made during his time here that gave him the opportunity to intern at PE International for six months before being offered a full-time role. Josef currently works as an Analyst within a diverse team of professionals who customise and roll out sustainability solutions for corporate clients worldwide. He says the ability to work in a diverse team and having a strong portfolio of business and world-class sustainability knowledge, gathered from nationally and globally recognised academics at Waikato School, have been very useful in his new job. Thriving in his new environment, Josef sees real value in the experience he is gaining whilst working on projects for Fortune 500 and Global 200 companies. The new Student Centre provides a social and learning heart for the campus. It is a multi-functional complex combining social spaces, learning facilities and a range of student services, including computers, wireless internet access, quiet study spaces and group meeting rooms. TAURANGA CAMPUS In the past 10 years, we are proud to have extended the University s learning opportunities to the Bay of Plenty. Through our ongoing presence in Tauranga, and through our partnership with the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, students can now complete a growing range of degree and postgraduate programmes in the Bay. You can begin with polytechnic qualifications and pathway into a university degree, or start directly in a university programme. But whether you re enrolled in a University of Waikato or Bay of Plenty Polytechnic programme, your on-campus experience will be seamless. 4 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Qualifications Overview QUALIFICATIONS OVERVIEW CERTIFICATES A qualification in its own right, or a pathway to future study. Certificates provide a programme similar to the first year of a bachelors degree so are ideal for those people who do not want to commit to several years of study, or who are unsure of which direction to take. DIPLOMAS Similar to a certificate except diplomas represent the second year of a bachelors degree, so are the second step on the pathway to future study. Add a graduate diploma and you have the equivalent of a bachelors degree. BACHELORS DEGREES A structured course of study in a particular area such as management or communication. Each degree has a different 'make-up' so you can select a programme according to your interests and future ambitions. Bachelors degrees usually take three or four years of full-time study. GRADUATE CERTIFICATES Perfect if you want to quickly gain a few papers in a specific subject area perhaps so that you can take a postgraduate diploma. Graduate Certificates usually take one semester of full-time study and you need to have either a bachelors degree or significant relevant work experience to be admitted. POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMAS Building on the specialised knowledge gained during your bachelors degree, these qualifications help you increase your potential as you study your subject at the postgraduate level. If you study for one more year at the graduate level then you could end up with a masters qualification. MASTERS DEGREES If you want to stand out from the crowd and demonstrate your academic prowess then perhaps a masters degree would be the perfect choice for you. Masters degrees are an advanced qualification at the postgraduate level. Specialist degrees such as the Master of Studies (MMS) and generalist degrees such as the Master of Business and (MBM) or the Master of Business and Administration (MBA) are offered. GRADUATE DIPLOMAS Similar to a major, a graduate diploma allows you to focus on a specific subject perhaps to enhance your bachelors degree or complement your work experience. These usually take one year of full-time study and you need to have either a bachelors degree or significant relevant work experience to be admitted. BACHELORS HONOURS DEGREE Honours degrees demonstrate your ability, as they are only available to students who achieve a specified high standard. Papers are taken at postgraduate level and the honours degree usually takes one year of full-time study which you complete after you have finished your bachelors degree (except for the BMS where honours can form the final year of your degree). If you study for one more year at graduate level then you could end up with a masters qualification. POSTGRADUATE CERTIFICATES A short programme available for graduates who wish to build on an earlier degree. These programmes are normally pathway programmes for further study. DOCTORAL DEGREE Gives students extensive knowledge in their chosen fields, trains them to do original and meaningful research and prepares them to function as a member of a teaching faculty. SUBJECTS AND SPECIALISATIONS You have lots of choice: not only does Waikato School offer a broad range of subjects, but if you are thinking of taking a Bachelors Degree then you can also choose a second major subject from most other undergraduate subjects offered in the University. Your subject or major is the area of study that you consider in-depth for your qualification. Your choice might be driven by interest or future career aspirations. Specialisations provide you with another opportunity to shape your qualification to your interests and needs. They can be used to broaden your knowledge, or allow you to focus on an aspect related to your first major, or perhaps provide some cohesion to your elective papers in an area of interest to you. A specialisation is like a mini version of a major as it normally requires fewer papers than a major, but still focuses on a subject area. 6 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Below is a quick overview of what is offered through the School; the ticks for subjects show you what you can choose from, and you must make at least one choice; whereas the ticks for specialisations show you what is available as an option.

CHOOSE MANAGEMENT 7

Pathways PATHWAYS UNDERGRADUATE STUDY Undergraduate study provides the fundamental building blocks of a university education and the foundation for your career. You might choose the Bachelor of Studies (BMS) that provides an integrated programme across all the essential areas needed to be an effective manager and future business leader, or perhaps you would prefer one of our specialised degrees available in communication studies (BCS), electronic commerce (BECom), financial analysis (BBA(Fin)) and tourism and hospitality management (BTour(THMgt)). If you are interested in combining several areas of study and undertaking two undergraduate degrees at the same time then a conjoint degree gives you this option. Maybe a shorter programme like the certificate or diploma would suit you better these are valuable programmes in their own right, but can also act as a pathway to further study as they are transferable to degree programmes. GRADUATE STUDY Consolidate your knowledge and skills by enrolling in one of our graduate programmes that are designed to practically assist people already in business or commerce, as well as students continuing with higher education. If you are interested in taking a doctorate then you will be encouraged to work with, and be informed by, business and research. The diagram below demonstrates the major study pathways. Undergraduate study 1 First year of postgraduate study Second year of postgraduate study Postgraduate research Waikato School Bachelors degree or equivalent Bachelors degree with Honours or Postgraduate Diploma Masters (MMS or MECom) PhD Waikato School Bachelors degree or equivalent Masters (MMS or MECom) Bachelors degree in any area Master of Business and (MBM) 2 Bachelors degree and management work experience Master of Business Administration (MBA) (or PGDip(MgtSt) and MBA Part 2) 2 1 If you have work experience and no tertiary qualification or wish to discuss other potential pathways then please contact a Student Centre Adviser. 2 For information regarding pathways to the PhD please contact the Student Centre Graduate Consultant. 8 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Conjoint Degrees Are you interested in combining several areas of study and undertaking two undergraduate degrees at the same time? If so, then a conjoint degree might be for you. Combining complementary degrees can help you shape a unique programme of study that may be attractive to a range of potential employers. For example, combining a management studies degree (BMS) with the study of Law (LLB) may prepare you for a career in environmental law, accounting, human rights and a wide range of consultancy work. The time frame to complete a conjoint programme varies according to the programmes combined and is also dependent on your choice of full-time or part-time study. Special regulations allow you to combine the two degrees so that although it takes longer to complete than taking one degree it takes a shorter time than if you took the two programmes consecutively. Conjoint degrees are one possibility and if you are thinking of this option then we strongly advise you to seek academic advice about these programmes. Other options such as double majors, graduate and postgraduate diplomas, or masters programmes are also worth considering. Not all conjoint combinations may be available every year. Examples of conjoint degrees offered include:» Bachelor of Communication Studies with a Bachelor of Social Sciences» Bachelor of Studies with a Bachelor of Laws» Bachelor of Tourism (Tourism and Hospitality ) with a Bachelor Arts. SHAREE HAMILTON Studying: BMS/LLB (Law and Human Resource ) High School: Sacred Heart Girls College, New Plymouth In summer Sharee works in the finance department at Shell Todd Oil Services, an oil company in her home town of New Plymouth. When she s at university she s, among other things, a Hillary Scholar for Basketball and a student ambassador. I really like Waikato s relaxed and friendly atmosphere and its campus, she says. We ve got a really flash new library which is a plus, there s a clean green image and the atmosphere is easy going. Sharee liked economics and accounting at high school so much that she thought a career in business was right for her. She added law because she thought it would be really interesting and decided on her major because she believes people are a vital part of business today. In the future she hopes to be a human resource/commercial lawyer or do human resource consultancy work. She aspires to work in management and ultimately become CEO of a successful company. A highlight of my HR papers has been learning from internationally experienced and well known lecturers and hearing about their experiences while being able to directly relate those examples to what we are learning from the course. CONJOINT DEGREES There are some truly interesting brains in WMS! Strong research focus, strong links to the practical world, and a very international learning environment.

TONY SCHISCHKA, BMS, PGDip(Econ) Policy Analyst Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Hamilton Tony Schischka s degree has given him the opportunity to work at the forefront of the agriculture sector. As a policy analyst, Tony has a range of responsibilities which include reporting on the economic performance of the New Zealand kiwifruit industry and contributing to dairy industry policy. I didn t study agriculture directly, so I have had to learn the economics and public policy of some significant New Zealand industries, he says. My studies focused largely on the interactions of the economy, the environment, and society. However, Tony believes his 499 paper, a compulsory component in the BMS degree, was one of the best things about his degree as it assisted him in securing a summer internship with the Ministry of Fisheries, and after more study led to his position at the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. 24 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

PR IN PRACTICE The 10th annual Chesterman Group Public Relations Campaign Awards were held in November 2011. This event celebrated the completion of the University of Waikato s Communications Public Relations Campaign paper with presentations of comprehensive campaign proposals for a real-life local client. The 2011 client was Opportunity Hamilton, a non-profit organisation that promotes economic growth in the region by assisting and attracting new businesses and investment in Hamilton. Fifteen groups entered, which were whittled down to the four top teams of students. These final participants conducted research, defined goals, objectives and strategies, and prepared a list of public relations activities relevant to the issues they identified as significant. The students overall challenge was to develop a public relations campaign that would help Opportunity Hamilton to achieve its goal of economic growth in the Waikato. Team PROspect Consultants (pictured L-R: Bethany Pawson, Vivienne Hall, Anna McAdam, Chloe Walker-Liddy, Rebecca Foote, Chamanthie Sinhalage) focused on the concept of co-working in a digital environment as a recent global trend that succeeds in many urban centres in the world, including Auckland and Wellington.

That is going to help with my French skills immensely and I will still be progressing with my degrees, says Shannen, who chose management because she d always been interested in it and making a career out of it. Adding languages makes my studies broader and will give me opportunities to work overseas for multinational companies in the future. Shannen s advice to prospective Waikato University students is to try living in a hostel, joining a club, taking up a sport and making the most of group assignments in class. These are valuable networking opportunities and these people will be your lifelong friends, she says. I enjoy the variety Strategic offers me. With a broad spectrum of topics such as entrepreneurship, sustainability, international business, strategy formulation and the interconnecting roles of business Strategic is both challenging and exciting.

Supply Chain SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT From production line to store shelf, a practical understanding of how to efficiently manage the resources of an organisation is invaluable. Supply Chain is an important field. From being buried in the earth to becoming the hot chips on your plate: there s quite a journey for your average potato. That passage from the ground to the factory, distributor, wholesaler, retailer and customer is known as the supply chain. The more efficient the supply chain the better for business. Companies prosper by using supply chain management to make their operations more efficient, and therefore more profitable and sustainable. Students learn about integrating a company s internal departments, such as marketing, manufacturing and procurement; as well as going outside the company boundaries to create a smooth chain from raw-goods suppliers right through production and distribution to retailers and customers. QUALIFICATIONS Your subject is an area of study that you focus on for your qualification. Supply Chain can be taken for the following qualifications, or taken as a second major subject for most other undergraduate degrees.

The conjoint BMS/LLB degree enables her to pursue both her interests, ensuring that her career opportunities are endless. I am really enjoying studying and making the most of the many opportunities that are available to me. Getting involved in things like the Case Competition has taught me invaluable skills and given me incredible experiences. For Deborah being part of the Waikato Case Competition team, going up against some of the best teams not only in New Zealand but also internationally, was a fantastic experience. Everyone that made up the Waikato team had so much fun together and it was the icing on the cake for Waikato to win the National and International title. My advice for future students take a risk.

MICHELLE KOSOOF, BBA(Fin) (Economics and Electronic Business) Student and Tutor Waikato School Michelle had a keen interest in economics when she enrolled at Waikato and found that a Bachelor of Business Analysis (Financial) gave her more freedom to choose the papers she enjoyed most. Her favourite paper of her degree was Economics and Society. It became a strong platform for heated debate and discussion and it blew me away, she says. It looked at economics from a totally different perspective and really opened my eyes as to how economics can be used for so much more than business. She enjoyed living in the Student Village while studying because it gave her the chance to make friends all over New Zealand and says the thing she most enjoyed about university was the people.

TRACEY GRAY Studying: BTour (Tourism and Communication) High School: Whangarei Girls High School Tourism appealed to Tracey for several reasons including the fact that everyone is happy when they re on holiday which makes for a fantastic working environment. And everyone wants to go overseas so I thought tourism would enable me to do that and get paid for it! Perfect. Once she s finished her degree Tracey would like to get an internship with a large hotel chain where she could be placed anywhere in the country and if she has enough time she plans to do a postgrad diploma. Because the number of students doing the tourism course is relatively small, Tracey knows everyone in her classes and she likes the fact that because Waikato has a large management department there are plenty of labs and/or computers available. 68 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

AKIV ROHEKAR (MBM) Pricing Analyst General Cable NZ, Christchurch Hailing from Pune, the educational capital of India, Akiv had a clear picture in mind about where he wanted to study for his Masters degree. The University of Waikato, Akiv says, has a custom built atmosphere for students and was the perfect environment for him to get stuck in to his studies as he dedicated time to understanding new business concepts and sharpening his commercial skills. The Waikato School s Triple Crown accredited degrees and its close proximity to Auckland, convinced Akiv that Waikato was the right choice. Having completed his Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Pune, Akiv worked in India for 3 years before relocating to New Zealand. Coming from a technical background, Akiv realised that despite having the necessary skills to excel in the engineering side, he had yet to hone his managerial skills. Akiv says as well as the MBM helping him to develop analytical skills that could be applied to complex business situations, he also got the chance to work in a real life situation with the Waikato DHB; identifying bottlenecks and strategising potential solutions. This experience gave Akiv not only much-needed exposure, but also the confidence to believe in his own ideas. Akiv is now living in Christchurch, using his managerial and engineering talents as a Pricing Analyst for General Cable NZ. Aviv took up this role after the catastrophic February 2011 earthquake and hasn t looked back, thriving in his new role. No two days are the same. I talk to people every day who are as near as Auckland or as far away as Qatar. And everybody in between! Having the MBM under his belt has given Akiv a taste of working in a fast paced business environment one he can t seem to get enough of. Akiv feels that working amongst the rebuilding of Christchurch will provide the opportunity to further develop his managerial skills, with the added advantage of working and handling complex, high profile projects.

This diploma is suitable if you are in a role that carries management or supervisory responsibilities in an organisation, or if you are in business for yourself. The PGDip(MgtSt) can also be used as credit for Part One of the MBA if you meet the MBA admission requirements and relinquish your PGDip(MgtSt) prior to graduation from the MBA. The Waikato Postgraduate Diploma in Studies (PGDip(MgtSt)) is available in both Hamilton and Tauranga. In Tauranga it is taught on alternate Saturdays, over a two year period. In Hamilton, it is available in the evenings, and again can be spread across two years or completed in one year of more intensive study. OUR GOAL IS FOR STUDENTS TO GRADUATE WITH:» An ability to learn through undertaking research, analysing issues, questioning ideas and findings, and reflecting on learning achieved» Well-developed communication and collaborative skills, including an ability to work in and lead teams» Creative problem-solving skills, including the ability to observe, diagnose, think critically and apply a systems or holistic approach to a problem» An understanding of the global business environment» The skills and understanding required for effective management, incorporating; communication and human resource skills, financial analysis and marketing skills, the ability to analyse and develop strategy, and skills in operations management» An understanding of the role of business in achieving sustainable success, including socially responsible business and environmental sustainability.

He began as a Recruitment Consultant and in just three years, had risen to become the BOP Area Manager. It was this swift climb into a managerial position that made Grant realise that a postgraduate qualification would be pivotal in aiding and furthering his career. Grant enrolled in the Waikato School PgDip(MgtSt) in Tauranga and has no regrets. It was an absolute eye opener and allowed me to significantly develop both my leadership abilities as well as my general business acumen. Skills he learnt in this qualification helped Grant land an interview for his present senior position at Tradestaff, as Northern Operations Manager. Above all, one of the aspects of the PgDip programme that Grant found most useful was the ability to apply classroom theory to real-life business situations. Many of the assignments ask you to draw from real life situations, and the programme literally becomes an extension of your working environment; allowing you to succeed in both arenas. This programme far exceeded my expectations and taught me aspects of business that many managers and leaders would perhaps not consider. I whole heartedly recommend for anyone looking to grow their ability and further their career; jump head first into this programme! As well as completing his PgDip (MgtSt), Grant has now also completed his MBA through Waikato. Grant believes that without having come through both programmes, setting goals like becoming the CEO or General Manager of a large organisation could have been out of reach for him. However Grant says, given what he has learned from his postgraduate education, these types of goals are totally achievable! 78 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Doctor of Philosophy Two postgraduate research degrees are offered at the University of Waikato and supervised within the Waikato School: The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil). Both degrees allow students to undertake supervised research and prove their abilities to design, conduct, and write up a major research project. The MPhil is the shortest of the two qualifications, requiring a minimum of one year of full-time study or two years part-time; the PhD takes a minimum of two years full-time and four years part-time study. Both are acquired solely through the submission of a thesis. If you enrol for the PhD or MPhil in Waikato School you will work with highly respected and experienced doctoralqualified supervisory staff. All of our staff are encouraged to publish extensively and consistently in high-level international and peer-reviewed journals, present at international conferences, and many are involved in research for industry, government, and major grant awarding bodies. DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY We provide a range of support to our postgraduate students. Academic support is provided by your supervisors, and all are backed by an extensive network within the wider University and School including the Pro Vice-Chancellor Postgraduate, the Waikato School Qualification Convenor Doctoral Studies, Department Chairpersons, and Department Graduate Convenors. Financial support is also available to our students. Some scholarships may be available, with the University Scholarship Office having close links with graduate administration. You will also be able to obtain financial support from your department to conduct your research, attend conferences, and purchase resources. You may also be able to take on teaching assistantship and tutoring work.

LEO KRIPPNER, PhD Researcher, Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Wellington I chose to study at Waikato School because it offered great extramural resources and supervision, to study for a PhD part-time while continuing my career in finance and economics in Wellington. The academic formality of the PhD was a welcome complement to my practical involvement with financial markets, and allows me to produce both publishable and practical empirical research. AZILAWATI BANCHIT PhD Student, Department of Finance, Winner of University of Waikato 2010 Thesis in Three Competition Waikato School is one of the top management schools in the world, and it still manages to surpass all my expectations as a PhD Student. I decided to do my PhD here because I wanted to be supervised by highly qualified and experienced researchers. The benefits of being a PhD student at Waikato School are the continuous support from academic and administrative staff, 24-hour availability of thousands of books and online journal papers, internal research grants and your own office situated in a beautiful green park. Waikato School is a multicultural campus that listens to (and truly answers) the needs of all students. The challenge of getting a PhD is definitely less daunting when we have all this available to us.

Glossary Assessment A task/activity required of students and prescribed within the paper outline and used by teaching staff to evaluate a student's level of success or understanding. Assessment methods might include tests, exams, essays, presentations, group work, reviews, other pieces of writing, or other methods. GLOSSARY Bachelor Degree Also known as an undergraduate degree or first degree, this is a structured course of study in a particular area such as management or communication and takes a minimum of three to four years of full-time study to complete. Calendar A university's official record of rules and regulations, staff, papers, dates etc. Conjoint Degree A conjoint degree is when two bachelor degrees are taken simultaneously; this allows you to complete the two bachelor degrees in a shorter period of time than would ordinarily be possible. Corequisite A corequisite is a paper that is complementary to another paper. While the knowledge gained from one paper is not required to take the other paper, students are required to complete both papers. Core/Compulsory Paper A core or compulsory paper is a key paper that must be passed as part of a particular qualification. Department A department is an academic unit within a School of Studies/ Faculty which is responsible for teaching a particular subject or discipline, for example, Economics. Diploma/Certificate A diploma or certificate is a type of qualification available at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate level that normally focuses on one specific subject area or field. Discipline A discipline is a general subject area, for example, Economics or Marketing. Elective Elective papers are papers which are not part of the compulsory papers for your degree and can usually be chosen from most subject areas. However, elective papers offered within the requirements for a major are often selected from a specified list within the major subject area. Equivalent Equivalent papers are in effect the same papers, one of which was taught in the past with a different paper code. Field A field is a general area of academic study that includes a number of related subjects. Grade Point Average (GPA) GPAs are used in calculating entrance to Honours programmes and also for awarding the Class of Honours. The following table illustrates average grades/gpa equivalents. A+=9, A=8, A-=7, B+=6, B=5, B-=4, C+=3, C=2, RP=1 Graduate A graduate is a person who has been awarded a university qualification. This term is also used for some qualifications like the Graduate Diploma which is a one year qualification for graduate students (or students with sufficient experience/training) who wish to specialise in another subject area. Lecture You will normally be required to attend two to four hours of lectures each week for each of your papers. There may be as many as 350 students in a lecture. The lecturer stands at the front of the lecture theatre and speaks, writes on the board, shows overheads, videos etc while you listen and note down the most important information. These notes are important as they form the starting point from which you'll do further research to complete assessments and/or exams. CHOOSE YOUR QUALIFICATION 81

Glossary continued GLOSSARY Major A major is the main subject/s in which you specialise for your undergraduate degree. To specialise in a subject you study it to a higher level ie 300 or 400 level and must fulfil specific requirements to pass. Masters A masters degree is an advanced qualification that normally builds on an honours degree. Some masters degrees, such as the Master of Studies, are specialist degrees that allow concentrated study of one subject area. Other masters degrees, such as the Master of Business and and the Master of Business Administration, are generalist degrees that cover a range of subject areas. Paper A paper is similar to a subject at secondary school. To complete each paper you will be required to participate in a range of lectures, tutorials and group work and pass specified assessment tasks/activities. 400 level papers usually have a greater emphasis on critical thinking regarding the theories and models of the subject concerned, providing a foundation for study at graduate level. 500 level papers are informed by the leading edge literature of the subject area and are practice-relevant. Points Points are the way in which the University measures papers and qualifications. Each paper is given a point value, normally 15 points at 100 level, 20 points at 200-400 level, and 30 or 15 points at 500 level. Each qualification, and part of qualifications, has regulations about the number of points to be completed at specified levels to pass. For example, a bachelors degree is worth between 360 and 480 points. The major within the degree is normally worth 120 points and you have to take a certain number of points at a certain number of levels. One year of fulltime study is normally 120 points. Postgraduate Postgraduate refers to advanced study above undergraduate level. Paper Assessment Requirements To be eligible to pass Undergraduate papers you should normally achieve a minimum grade of D in the internal assessment and the final examination, and an overall grade of C. Paper Code A paper code contains information about the subject, level and timing of the paper. The first four letters identify the subject then the first number identifies the level of the paper, for example, ACCT202 is a 200 level Accounting paper and ACCT301 is a 300 level Accounting paper. The two digits after the hyphen tell you what year the paper is taught and the letter on the end of the paper code is the semester indicator that tells you which period of the year the paper is taught. Paper Levels 100 level papers are normally introductory, exposing you to the scope of the topic and its terminology and preparing you to proceed in the subject or in related subject areas. 200 level papers normally develop the theory and methodology of the topic or subject as a framework for later synthesis or evaluation of material. 300 level papers rely less on structured teaching and assessment and require greater student participation both in timetabled classes and through seminars and workshops. More self-directed learning and a greater degree of intellectual flexibility are expected. Prerequisite A paper that is listed as prerequisite for a specific paper is one which must be passed before enrolling in the specific paper. Usually the prerequisite paper develops essential skills or knowledge necessary for undertaking the specific paper. Programme of Study The papers that you are enrolled in each year make up your programme of study for that year. Undergraduate first year programmes will involve seven or eight papers. Qualification An official record of achievement awarded on the successful completion of a degree, diploma or certificate. 82 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Regulations Regulations are the rules or requirements that are stated in the University of Waikato Calendar and relevant Student Handbook, which must be fulfilled to pass a qualification. Restriction Restricted papers share a significant amount of common content. You may only undertake one of the restricted papers, for example, STMG324 is restricted for STMG424, so you would have to choose whether you took 324 or 424 as you could not do both. GLOSSARY School of Study or Faculty A School/Faculty is a grouping of departments responsible for teaching and research in related subjects. Semester Similar to a school term, a semester is a teaching period of approximately 12 weeks. The University of Waikato has the A Semester, which starts in March and ends in June, the B Semester which starts in July and ends in November and two six-week Summer School Semesters T Semester (November/December) and S Semester (January/February). Most of the papers offered by The University of Waikato are semester papers but there are some full-year papers. Specialisation This is a formally recognised specialised programme of study within a qualification, major or subject area. A specialisation is similar to a small major and requires a particular programme of study to be undertaken and passed. Subject A subject is an area of study, for example, Accounting, Public Relations or Tourism. Summer School There are two Summer School semesters: T (November/December) and S (January/February). T Semester starts the first Monday after B Semester examinations and normally runs for a six week period. S Semester usually starts on the first Monday in January and normally runs for six weeks, followed by a week of Summer School examinations. Summer School papers are used by students to "catch up" on failed papers, to fit in with other commitments, to reduce workload in other semesters or as a "kick start" to some graduate programmes. Summer School offers a limited range of papers and not every paper is offered every year. Note: If you choose to study in both S and T semesters in one year your studylink allowances may be affected. Timetable Your timetable is your programme of lectures and tutorials. Once you are enrolled in your papers you can view your timetable at http://timetable.waikato.ac.nz/ Tutorials/Workshops In addition to attending lectures you will also attend tutorials or 'tutes' as they are more commonly known. A tutorial is a smaller group of people than in your lecture and usually consists of 20-25 students. The tutorial is led by a tutor who may be a postgraduate student or a member of the academic staff (your tutor is not usually your lecturer). In tutorials you talk about upcoming assignments and tests, issues which have arisen out of the lectures and the readings you have been doing. Sometimes there are exercises or small tests to complete. As well as leading the tutorial group the tutor is also responsible for marking your essays and assignments. Remember your tutor is there to help you so if you don't understand what's going on in your lecture or tutorial or you're not sure what your essay topic means, don't be afraid to talk to your tutor about it. Undergraduate A person who is studying at university for an undergraduate or bachelors degree is known as an undergraduate. CHOOSE YOUR QUALIFICATION 83
