How successfully to choose your Bachelor?

It depends on what you want to focus your studies on. For example it could be interesting to study subjects that would not be taught in a French university. Or subjects you’ve already learned but you want to practice in “English-Scottish”. It’s up to you. I’m just giving you basic information.

So you can go on http://www.uws.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate.asp ; find your field, select a Bachelor and download the title module sheet (for 3^rd year!) that describe in detail what you’ll learn (summary of the module), the learning outcomes, the eventual pre-requisites, the method of learning and teaching, the learning activities and how the assessment work.

So you should have 6 modules per year (so 3 modules each trimester)*. * I heard it’s possible to do 2 modules for semester 1 and 4 modules for semester 2 but it’s not recommended.

THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR CHOOSING A BACHELOR:

SINGLE:

For example if you choose Bachelor (BA) International Marketing you’ll have 4 compulsory modules:

-          Consumer behaviour

-          Understanding Global Market

-          Business Research Methods

-          Marketing Communications Mix

AND 2 other you’ll have to choose between those 5

-          Contemporary Issues in Business

-          Marketing of Services*

-          Selling and Sales Management*

-          E-Marketing*

-          Social Marketing*

The modules indicates you if you’ll study it during trimester 1 or 2

So that for, what they call, a SINGLE BA: You’ll be graduated from a “BA in international Marketing”. You’ll study all the modules related to international marketing.

Note: the modules in black are compulsory and those in blue “optional” in a sense that you’ve the choice to choose one or several of them.

MAJOR/MINOR

It means you’ll study the 4 modules (Consumer Behaviour; Understanding Global Market; Business Research Methods; Marketing Communications Mix) AND you’ll have to choose a MINOR in a different BA. For example in Tourism. The MINOR in Tourism is composed of two modules: Tourism Operations Management and Sustainable Development.

You’ll be graduated from a “BA International Marketing in Major and Tourism in Minor.”

Note; the minor of each BA is predetermined that mean you have to take two modules that are related.

JOINT

That mean you choose 3 modules from one BA and 3 from another BA.

From our previous example: “You’ll be graduated from a joint BA in International Marketing and Tourism”. Once again it’s already “pré-déterminé” which type of module you can choose to undertake a Joint BA.

The 3^rd year student handbook should be soon available at Mrs. Marchandise-Ruiz office for consultation (but you’ll find all the module description on the UWS website). And please for questions scott.glasgow.1011@gmail.com
