Discover how the Placements Office made it happen.

Jazmin enjoyed her placement at the IT and consulting company IBM, during the third year of her degree: “A year in industry allowed me to see the current best practices and to bring the relevant skills and techniques into my final year. This was critical to the development of my dissertation topic and gave me great insight into the working life of a marketer.

One of the campaigns I worked on involved the formation of a virtual reality tennis simulation. During my placement, I also devised and executed marketing strategies, which allowed me to apply what I had learnt in a real-world business environment.”

Jazmin’s experience studying at Southampton Business School also contributed to her enthusiasm for marketing and her success in securing a graduate role: “The quality of teaching and the passion each of the lecturers has for their field made learning easy and, dare I say it, fun. I have no doubt that the skills I’ve developed on this course have made me highly employable.

The exposure I gained from working at IBM, as well as the experience it provided, led to a graduate role as an Interactive and Mobile consultant within IBM’s new digital agency. I will work with businesses integrating new technologies into their practices to help them grow, transform their brand and delight their customers through data and innovative design. I’m looking forward to developing ideas and solutions to help solve real-world problems.”

Course structure

We have designed our programmes to provide you with the essential knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to the main subjects you are studying, together with a capacity for critical and evaluative thinking. We encourage autonomous learning in our stimulating and challenging but supportive learning environment.

When you graduate, you will be able to demonstrate that our aims have been fulfilled. You should also be proficient in relevant key skills, including problem solving, communication and teamwork that are vital in business.

Most programmes give you a choice of modules. There are also opportunities to study abroad for a few weeks or an entire academic year or perhaps learn a language, depending on the subjects you opt to study.

How will you learn?

We use a variety of methods and strategies to help you develop thorough understanding of your subjects.

They include lectures in various group sizes, seminars with around 30 students and small group work.

Teaching is based on a system of two 12 week semesters over three years followed by examinations at the end of each semester. You will usually study four modules in each semester, a total of eight per year.

Group work

Group tasks become more challenging as you progress through your degree. In your first year you will be expected to complete class-based activities in groups of three to seven. This could lead to a short group presentation on a specific task. In your second year, your group could work on a larger presentation or a written assignment that is assessed as part of the module. In year three, you could be asked to complete a significant business report based on a case study developed by your group.

Working in groups gives you the opportunity to meet and learn to work with many different people. This will be essential as you progress towards a management role in your career.

Case Studies

Throughout your degree, we will use many different business case studies across the public and private sectors that reflect the reality of decision-making and problem-solving in today’s business environment.

We select each example to reflect the specific needs of your programme to make sure they will help you understand the particular challenges of each subject.

Examinations and assessment

The majority of modules are formally examined either with or without an element of assessed course work. You must pass the first year examinations (Part 1) in order to proceed to the second. The results of your second and third year examinations or assessments (Part 2) are amalgamated to form your final degree.

Student support service for learning

Our Learning and Teaching Coordinators and Business Librarian will support your learning needs throughout your time with us. They provide an induction programme of academic skills sessions, including on-line search techniques, as well as individual support in study skills, where appropriate.

E-learning facilities at the Business School are provided through a learning environment called ‘Blackboard’ which will give you access to many extra resources such as; lecture notes, links to additional learning materials and resources, podcasts, videos and tutorials.

Southampton Business School offers a challenging and dynamic learning environment with all the support you need to help you excel in your chosen degree.

Marketing activities play a central role in delivering value to both customers and shareholders; in this context it can be seen as being at the interface between the customer and the organisation – it interprets the needs, desires and changing values of customers for the organisation and at the same time presents the organisation’s response in terms of services or products to the customer. Modern marketing requires analytical, numeric and data management skills as well as the creativity traditionally associated with the discipline.

The programme is either three or four years in duration. The four-year programme includes the addition of a one-year industrial placement in year three, giving you valuable work-related skills and experience.

TERMS & CONDITIONSThe University’s Charter, Statutes, Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk

Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. It is provided for information purposes only. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure.

The information contained in the brochure, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.

1. Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill.

We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary:

– to alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable;

– to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements);

– to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University);

– to make changes to our Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students;

– to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too

few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).

If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the “Change”), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity.

a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change.

b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either:

(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or

(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified.

If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.

c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university.

2. Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).

3. Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility.

Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change, are in addition to any statutory

rights of cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure.

In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.

Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.southampton.ac.uk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually.

Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found in the Calendar at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk

Further information about, or clarification of, these procedures is available from Admissions Team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, email: [email protected].

Data ProtectionDuring the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.

© University of Southampton 2016A copy of this brochure and the University’s current information for students with disabilities and specific learning difficulties can be made available, on request, in alternative formats, such as electronic, large print, Braille or audio, and, in some cases, other languages.
