MODULE DESCRIPTIONS
Detailed descriptions of the core modules
for the International Year One programme are
set out below.
Accounting and Finance
This module aims to provide an introduction to key
concepts, terminology and knowledge in accounting
and finance to facilitate career development in
business rather than to lead to further accounting
studies. Students will learn to analyse and interpret
financial statements, and prepare financial and
management accounting reports. The module is
delivered through formal lectures which enable the
communication of key concepts and ideas, while
seminars provide students with opportunities
to discuss concepts and ideas, and to develop
analytical skills.
Advanced Business English
The overall aims of this module are to develop
English language proficiency of students within the
specific context of Business. The module will provide
the realistic blend of learning related to the real
world business environment and the context of the
academic study of business. In particular, the module
aims to develop all four language skills (reading,
writing, speaking and listening) within relevant
and contemporary business contexts. The module
will expose undergraduate business students to an
appropriate range of spoken and written text types,
raise awareness of lexical, grammatical, discourse
and phonological features of language most relevant
to the current business environment.
This module focuses on academic writing and the
development of critical reading skills as part of the
preparation stage for exam and assignment writing.
Techniques for the integration and synthesis of
ideas of others into your own work are covered. The
module uses current assignment questions from the
other International Year One modules as a platform
for developing the skills required. Spoken English
and listening skills are developed by the extensive
use of discussion tasks in pairs and group work.
Management and Organisation
This module will provide you with an introduction
to the main principles of management theory and
an understanding of the development of theory
in organisational behaviour and its relation to
management within organisations. You will learn
about different organisational structures and designs,
organisational cultures, and the decision-making
process within an organisation. The course
also addresses human resource management issues
such as organisational motivation, leadership, teamwork
and managing change in the workplace.
Marketing
Through this module, you will develop an
understanding of the core concepts of marketing
theory and an ability to apply them to case studies.
Topics include market research, marketing strategy,
marketing planning and the marketing mix, and
looking at competition and the environment.
A key part of the module assessment involves
working as part of a group to research, plan and write
a strategic marketing plan for a new product idea.
Quantitative Methods
This module offers an introduction to basic
statistical concepts and methods of data analysis
which are commonly used by businesses to
reduce uncertainty when making decisions. The
module covers the different ways in which data
can be collected, summarised and analysed, and
how to present that information to ensure clear
understanding. You will consider probability theory
as well as common probability distributions and
topics such as hypothesis testing, forecasting,
resource allocation, market research and quality
control. There is a strong practical element to this
module and you will become familiar with standard
statistical packages.

performance of a firm, or compare the performance
of one firm with another. Students will also learn
how to assess two different proposed projects
or investments and recommend one as the best
project, and why. The module is delivered through
lectures, which introduce material to students and
explore theories and concepts, while seminars or
small group teaching sessions are used to critically
evaluate key issues within topics and develop skills
through discussion, presentation, and set tasks.
Economics
The module will focus on the distinction between
microeconomics and macroeconomics and the
underlying basic economic problem of scarcity. You
will learn about the market system, the laws of
supply and demand and how this determines the
prices and the quantities that are traded through
the concept of elasticity. By looking at the wider
economic environment, you will learn about major
schools of thought on macroeconomics issues
and the relationship between economic growth
and factors such as national income, inflation,
unemployment, and economic management through
monetary and fiscal policies.
This module aims to develop all your English skills
so you are ready for postgraduate study. The ability
to write essays at this level is the most important
focus and you will have guidance in all aspects of
academic writing including critical reading, synthesis
of sources, text-level organisation and academic
written style. All classes are delivered using pair and
group work and learning is achieved with the use of
problem-solving enquiry tasks. Learner independence
is a priority, and focused support helps develop this.
Study and Research Skills
This module has been designed to help you make
the transition to master’s level study at a UK higher
education institution by ensuring that you develop
the academic skills required and also undergo the
intellectual development needed. It is through
exposure to the expectations of postgraduate study
and continued practice, feedback and reflection that
your skills will develop. The content of the module will
centre around the preparation for, and writing of, an
extended academic essay of around 5,000 words, the
process of which will be very similar to that for longer
pieces of work that you will encounter at master’s
level. The module will draw on and support the ideas
explored in English for Academic Purposes and other
modules across the Graduate Diploma.

English for University Study focuses on
academic English and the study skills you
need to succeed on your pre-university
academic programme or university degree.
