The emphasis in the MSc IBF is on combining managerial knowledge and social sciences with financial skills. A key feature of the MSc IBF is its design centred on student experience. It is designed to provide students with ample formative feedback and reflection opportunities regarding the social context and consequences of the practice of international management.

The role of programme co-ordinator includes the organisation and monitoring of the programme, the representation of the programme within the university, and the pastoral care of the students enrolled in the MSc IBF. You direct module-related queries to module leaders whereas programme-level issues should be discussed with the programme co-ordinator. In order to facilitate and integrate the training in research methods and the dissertation process, the programme co-ordinator is responsible for these two modules Specialist Teaching Staff The teaching team in international business and finance is drawn from a diversity of backgrounds and reflect the breadth and depth of the curriculum.

3 Develop scholarly research skills of students and their ability to reconcile practice and research Intended learning outcomes Referenced to the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) and the QAA Master s Degrees in Business and Management subject benchmark document, the programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate the achievement of the following: Subject Knowledge: (1c) Experience a broad, analytical and integrated study of international business and finance. (2) Be able to demonstrate relevant knowledge and understanding of organisations, the external context in which they operate and how they are managed. There is likely to be an emphasis on understanding and responding to change and consideration of the future of organisations, and the external context in which they operate.

Be able to demonstrate an additional range of skills beyond those general skills expected of first degree holders. (4) Have a sound theoretical grounding in the broad area of business and management and will have developed a range of analytical and personal skills. However their practical knowledge and skills will necessarily be limited by the constraints of the pedagogical process. They should have value added above their first degree by having a clear understanding of how their initial discipline may be utilised effectively within an organisational context. (5) Be able to collect relevant information across a range of areas pertaining to a current situation, analyse that information and synthesise it into an appropriate form Teaching and learning strategies and methods: Through workshops integrating taught components and interactive work (directed tasks) that can include: conversational learning, case studies, learning games, simulations, discussion questions or debates, or other forms of innovative and interactive teaching. In order to address the issue of limited experience expected within a generalist cohort, a special emphasis is given in this programme to the use of the case study method. Through directed work assigned to students between workshops. The strategy module is an integrative module which requires students to capitalise on all the other modules in the programme in order to analyse issues that require a cross-functional investigative approach. Key subject knowledge requirements (1-5 aside) are addressed in a series of core term 1 modules. The research methods module and the dissertation process is the culmination of the the training of the students in terms of independently collecting data, solving problems, applying theory, and reaching 3

(8) Conduct research into business and management issues either individually or as part of a team through research design, data collection, analysis, synthesis and reporting (9) Be able to solve complex problems and make decisions: establish criteria, using appropriate decision-making techniques including identifying, formulating and solving business problems; and the ability to create, identify and evaluate options; the ability to implement and review decisions. (10) Use information and knowledge effectively: scanning and organising data, synthesising and analysing in order to abstract meaning from information and to share knowledge.

8 Quality Indicators The subject operates within an established framework of quality assurance mechanisms, both at University and at school levels. The quality of this programme is monitored by the following methods: Quality management at University level The procedures for quality assurance are laid out in the university s Quality Handbook, Academic Regulations 1, and the Postgraduate Awards Scheme. Both the Academic Standards Committee Scrutiny Group and Academic Standards Committee are responsible to the Academic Board for maintaining quality systems, including the appointment of external examiners and the approval, reapproval, and annual monitoring of programmes. The quality assurance procedures adopted by the programme are laid down at an institutional level within the University of Chichester s quality assurance procedures. In particular, there is a formal annual monitoring process informed by feedback and evaluation. Module Evaluation The evaluation of each module taught within the programme is the responsibility of the module coordinator. The module co-ordinator may use a variety of methods to evaluate the module, and will be required to seek and report student feedback within the evaluation. Informal Evaluation In addition to the formal evaluation procedures a constant dialogue between tutors, and tutors and students provides valuable information. This type of informal dialogue is often most effective at having a real impact upon the on-going review and improvement of programmes. The formal procedures are directly and indirectly informed by these processes and help provide the framework that provides focus to programme improvements Admission Requirements The management of admissions is by the programme co-ordinator who liaises with the University admissions office and with prospective candidates. The programme complies with all University of Chichester procedures relating to standard and nonstandard entry and has admission standards in line with all University of Chichester degrees. However, in addition to this applicants would normally have to meet the following entry qualification requirements: at least a second class honours degree International students whose first degree is not in English are required to have at least an overall 6.5 IELTS score. International students with a score higher than 6.0 have the possibility of attending a Business English pre-sessional seminar, which starts in September. For lower IELTS scores, international students may want to consider summer language programmes offered at the University of Chichester. All IELTS requirements are subject to a minimum of 5.5 in each component
