a s u p p o r t e d o p e n

l e a r n i n g p r o g r a m m e

offering undergraduate

degrees from HWU. Four

HWMP Degrees are offered

at B&B. These are the BA

in Business Administration,

Accountancy & Finance,

Business & Finance and

Management & Psychology.

Each degree option is struc-tured in three progressive

stages, with each stage com-

prising four common

streams called module sets.

Module sets are comprised

of either a) two linked sub-

jects covering a particular

topic that is worth a total of30 credits, or b) Two stand

-alone subjects that are

worth 15 credits each. Stu-

dents are required to com-

plete two of these stand-

alone subjects to gain the

30 credits required for the

completion of a module set.

Students who have achieved

360 credits over the periodof study are awarded the

degree. For all degree op-

tions, students may choose

any combination of mod-

ules in a stage and between

stages, providing that the

pre-requisites for that par-

ticular module are met

(there are no pre-requisites

for Stage I). As such, it is

possible to do as little as

one and as much as four

(the maximum allowable)

modules in any one year.

Exemptions can be offered

for modules based on the

submissions to HWU of thetertiary-level qualifications

held and an assessment by

that body. However, the

total number of exemptions

granted is limited to a maxi-

Heriot-Watt University Student Testimonials

Natalie Jones,

Barbados

I chose the Heriot Watt

University programme based on

three criteria: flexibility, popularity

and range of programmes available. I

liked that this programme did not

require me to submit periodic as-

signments, only self-study and ex-

aminations as frequently as my work

schedule would permit. Good pro-

gramme, great flexibility, with online

and electronic study resources to

help me along the way.

Alfred Okot Okidi,

Uganda

I have found the Heriot

Watt programme to be unique, prac-

tical, relevant and so enriching.The programme was quite taxing, as

I had to blend my reading with a

demanding work schedule. The

beauty of the programme to me was

in the flexibility of the course and

concise course materials presented in

stimulating language. I treasure the

programme more than all my earlier

qualifications and courses.

Jason Julien,

Trinidad & Tobago

The HWU experience far exceeded

my expectations. The quality of

the teaching materials was first-class, as they were well written and

effectively communicated the com-

plex concepts. In addition to pre-

senting theory and practice, the au-

thors fostered critical thinking with

their narrative. I highly recommend

HWU for anyone seeking to equip

themselves for the challenges of

todays competitive world.

Completing this Programme has truly made me proud of myself. For all my accomplishments so far I think this is the one that tops

them all. I always dreamed of obtaining a tertiary education and Im happy I did it when I did. It has certainly made a positive change in

my life and I m excited to take my career to the next level. GraduateBA in Accountancy and Finance - T&T

Psychology studies and analyses human functions and behaviour so as to predict and shape actions. A large part of manage-ment science is about guiding and shaping our people assets to produce the desired behaviours. The marriage of the two

areas in theBA in Management and Psychology is then a perfect complement that gives you knowledge of a wide rangeof the issues that affect a business environment and how you can develop and implement the right action plans for success

within that environment. Graduates will be well-prepared for careers in business management, teaching, counselling, nurs-ing, social work, probation work and market research, as well as careers within the psychology profession itself.

Class Structure and Schedule

Lectures in the available degree options will be held on weekdays during the daytime be-tween the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and in the evenings between the hours of 5:30 pm to8:30 pm. Lectures will also be held on Sundays (depending on the number of registrations)

between 9:00 am-4:00 pm. The lectures will focus on the review, discussion and practicalapplication of key concepts and material. This learning style is designed to deepen the

knowledge of an area by encouraging a critical-thinking approach revolving around an un-derstandingof the material, rather than a detailed rote-learning regurgitation of the sylla-bus. The lectures would be followed by a tutorial at the start of each month (weekly for the

day programme). This will be focused on solving problems relatedto the issues covered in the lectures for the preceding month. Abreakdown of the allocated times is shown below:

Classes scheduled to enhance learning experience.

Review classes in a particular subject will be held once every two

weeks. Students have enough time to review material and prepare

for new topics, which deepens the benefits gained from the classdiscussions..The classes will focus on the review, discussion and

practical application of key concepts and material. This learning

style is designed to deepen the knowledge of an area by encouraging

a critical-thinking approach revolving around an understanding

of the material, rather than a detailed rote-learning regurgitation

of the syllabus....
