Management and Management Systems (Foundation Degree)

Course Structure

Course Structure

The course focuses on links with employers and work placements are an integral part of both Year 1 and Year 2.

On successful completion of the Foundation Degree, students can apply for a third year to top up their qualification to an honours degree at Newton Park campus.

Teaching Methods and Resources

Although you will be classed as a full-time student, you will only attend college for one full day and one evening per week. Our partner college for delivering the FD in Management and Management Systems is Norton Radstock College so this is where you will be based for your taught modules (although you will be classed as a Bath Spa student and will have access to all the facilities of the Newton Park campus). Three of your modules will be work-based. You will be supported in this area by a tutor from Norton Radstock College, who will visit you in your workplace to monitor your progress and development.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is carried out in a variety of ways as follows:

  • Written essays; practical workshops; critical reading/ literature reviews; seminar presentations; seminar reports and journals; investigative reports; multiple choice papers; end of module examinations; practice in the workplace; workplace journal;
  • Practical assessment in the workplace will be assessed on a pass/ fail, rather than a percentage basis.
