How will I learn?
We use a mixture of teaching methods including traditional lectures and seminars, IT workshops, guest lectures, problem-based learning and group discussions.
In addition to this you will also be involved in a variety of practical work such as individual and group presentations, student-led seminars, role play, industry-sponsored competitions and project work.
These elements are included to help you develop a range of skills such as time management, effective presentation, communication, customer focus, entrepreneurial skills and team working.
Students on BA (Hons) Business Management courses will have the chance to use a unique interactive learning tool that helps them run their own virtual company.
Contact time
On average you will receive 12 – 15 hours of teaching per week from a combination of lectures and seminars. You’ll then be expected to increase your understanding of the subject area through independent study for each module.
Throughout your course the scheduled contact hours you receive will gradually decrease to undertake independent study and the research project in your final year. This will still remain at approximately 12 hours a week though and you will still have regular contact with your tutors.
You will also have time-tabled sessions for your induction at the beginning of the year, and sessions on employability and opportunities that you can get involved with while at University.
Learning from industry experts
89% of students on our BA (Hons) Business Management Joint Honours courses (placement) agreed that staff are good at explaining things (National Student Survey 2014).
Our tutors have industry experience in their specialist field, which means you will gain practical insight into these fields and how companies are run.
Personal tutor sessions
You will also have a number of one on one tutor sessions during each year, which will allow you to:
Discuss and gain feedback about your work.
Ask questions about the projects you’re working on.
Raise any difficulties you are experiencing relating to your work, personal circumstances or your university experience.
Where will I study?
All students will attend lectures and seminars at NTU’s City site, in the impressive Newton Building, home to Nottingham Business School.
Who will I study with?
The BA (Hons) Business Management Joint Honours is the most popular suite of courses in our undergraduate portfolio, meaning you will be studying amongst approximately 350 students. Seminars will be made up of around 18 students though making the teaching sessions more personal.
Virtual learning environment
You will also have access to our virtual learning environment, NOW, which is a flexible web-based system that gives you 24-hour access to module learning materials and reading lists. It allows you to discuss work with tutors, and submit coursework electronically from anywhere in the world.
How will I be assessed?
Modules are assessed in a variety of ways. Examples of assessment include written examinations, reports, essays, individual and group coursework, posters, presentations, and research projects. The degree classification is based on 25% of second year work and 75% of final year work.
In response to student feedback the university have introduced a policy that ensures you are given feedback on assessment within three weeks of submission.
