WBS)

Classified by Karen Bradbury loosely by subject group.Most of these seem the more ‘soft’ subjects.

BEng Engineering Business Management• Stay in School of Engineering• Retain existing personal tutor • A broad based course but with more focus on Engineering• 3rd year - all taught modules for 120 CATS, no individual

project• Final degree classification

– 30% for 2nd year, 70% for 3rd year• Career options include

– Any non specialist graduate trainee position– Any sector, but more attractive to engineering industries than E&BS– Ideal for a business or management role in an engineering firm;

logistics or supply chain management, procurement, marketing, human resource management

– MSc courses in business & management• Career options do not include chartered engineer

BEng Engineering Business Management

• 50% of modules, 60 CATS, from WBS– Refer to previous lists for E&BS

• 50% of modules, 60 CATS, from School of Engineering– Refer to next slide

• Your responsibility to select modules that have no timetable clashes

• If you want to apply for an MSc look out for potential 2nd academic referee in addition to personal tutor

Summary• BSc EBS, BEng EBM and BEng Engineering require you to schedule

your own timetable– Expect timetable clashes, especially on EBM

• No guarantees that all WBS/Economics modules will be available, refer to their briefing on 7th May 2008– Very large 2nd year in WBS/Economics in 2008/9

• On WBS/Economics modules you will be judged against 1st, 2nd and 3rd year WBS and Economics students – Ask WBS personal tutor or WBS/Economics lecturers for guidance– Review the WBS marks/feedback for ES2A6 as a possible guide– Expect to have to improve your academic writing style

• Try to build a network of engineering, science and business studies students to help you with minor timetable clashes & advice on writing style

• Plan your 2 academic referees for job/MSc applications– EBS students can use 2 personal tutors in WBS & Engineering– EBM students can use personal tutor plus another academic
