Management Project At the end of your taught studies you will be required to put into practice what you have learnt during the various modules and complete a 12,500 – 15,000 word management project. The University of Bradford allows its students a great deal of flexibility in their management projects. For example, you may wish to reflect on your academic learning and apply it to a problem currently facing the organization you work for. You may wish to investigate an issue effecting not just one organization but an entire industry, or you may wish to conduct ‘desk based research’ – really getting to grips with all the academic arguments and issues surrounding a subject area in order to develop a new management framework.
Throughout the project you will be guided by an experienced academic and you will have access to the School of Management Effective Learning department. The Effective Learning service often proves to be very useful providing students with a clear understanding and guidelines on what is required in order to successfully complete their project.
Programme Assessment
In order to ensure that you have gained the required skills and knowledge you will have to successfully complete a form of assessment for each module. The assessment may be an individual written assignment, an exam or a mixture of both.
So that you can monitor your progress as you work your way through each module there are a number of opportunities for formative assessment (i.e. assessment that will not count to your overall grade). For example, you will be invited to submit 2 pieces of work to your individual tutor. Your tutor will read through the work and provide you with feedback. In addition to this, you will be encouraged to complete a series of online multiple choice questions for each unit studied.
Exams can be sat at the University of Bradford, RDI’s Head Office in Coventry or can be arranged overseas via the British Council or at a recognised overseas academic institution at additional cost.
Study Materials & Support
For each module you will receive a textbook and a high quality study book containing essential study notes, case studies and short exercises to help develop your understanding of each subject area. The study books are written by academics from Bradford School of Management many of whom are world-leading authorities in their subject area. Each study book contains: • 9 study units, each unit is designed to develop your understanding of a particular subject area.
• 2 optional assignments which you submit to your tutor for feedback. These assignments enable you to track your progress providing valuable feedback, ensuring that you understand the key subject areas.
• A series of short case studies and exercises reinforcing key principles and ideas and demonstrating how academic theory can be put into practice.
• Clear guidance on accessing additional learning materials (e.g. academic papers) that will help reinforce your understanding and knowledge.
The printed materials are used alongside online materials made available via the virtual learning environment (known as ‘Blackboard’). The on-line materials include: • A copy of the module study book • Guidance on the assessment used for the module • Power point slides and audio recordings (where available) taken from Bradford based full time MBA lectures
• Film from 3 key on-site lectures (where available) • Key readings selected by Bradford academics from leading academic journals, trade publications and broadsheet newspapers
• Selected audio and video clips helping to underline your knowledge and understanding of particular subject areas
• Additional non-compulsory readings, audio and videos enabling you to engage with and advance your understanding
