The benefits of studying with

ICS What our degrees can do for you Recent studies have identified the key attributes sought by employers when recruiting graduates. These include many interpersonal and selfmanagement skills, often ranking above academic merit. Choosing to study a degree by distance learning demonstrates to employers that you not only have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding, but also that you can manage time effectively, are selfmotivated and already have a good work ethic – qualities that will make you stand out from the crowd.

Save money by choosing ICS Choosing to study a university degree by distance learning could leave you more than £33,500* better off compared to studying the equivalent degree at a campus-based university. Plus, with the introduction of top-up fees in England and Wales, some University courses are becoming out of the financial reach of many people.

How would you like to take lectures in your living room, or attend seminars on your sofa? Well, with ICS you can. You learn in your own time, at your own pace and from the comfort of your own home. So you really are in control.

Getting a degree can help you move up the career ladder or satisfy a hunger to learn more about subjects that have always fascinated you. Whatever your goal, we can help you realise your full potential, stand out from the crowd and show who you really are.

One of the clearest benefits of studying your degree at home with ICS is that you can avoid such huge payments – and stay clear of the average graduate debt of £14,779**. * The Telegraph, 16th August 2006 ** NatWest Student Money Matters, The Telegraph, 16th August 2006

How our degrees work

How does the programme work?*

What qualifications do I need to start a course?*

To earn an Honours Degree you must successfully complete the equivalent of 18 modules or 360 credits. But you can choose to start with one or two modules first, just to see if it's the right course for you, before committing yourself to a full degree. There's also the option to take some modules individually as part of your own continuing professional or personal development.

All you have to do is speak to one of our specialist course advisors to find the right entry level for you. If you want to enrol on either the whole of the first level or the full programme, you must hold a minimum number of UCAS (Universities and College Admission Service) tariff points. Qualifications such as A Levels, GNVQs, BTEC awards, Scottish or Irish Highers all count towards these points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our course advisors will be happy to discuss this with you when you call. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have sufficient UCAS points, you can still enrol on one or two modules. Once successfully completed, you can go on to study the rest of the degree.

How is my work assessed? There are a number of assessments that you complete as part of your course and forward to your academic tutor for grading and comment. You're also required to take a final assessment at the end of each module. This could take the form of coursework or an exam. Exam venues are located across the UK and take place twice a year. Please note that there are additional assessment fees for each module.

* For Nursing please see page 57

For more information visit icslearn.co.uk or call 0800 096 8436

We can help you build a successful future one module at a time What if I need help? Our tutors are renowned academics chosen from various worldclass universities and successful companies. You can communicate with them via email and at certain times through discussion forum postings. You'll benefit from a team of dedicated mentors who can help you with general needs and answer any administrative queries you might have. Just contact your mentor via phone, e-mail and post â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you know you'll get a fast response. Your mentor will also contact you at regular intervals. Firstly, to welcome you and agree a study plan, and then to discuss your progress and remind you about deadlines. You'll also have the full support of our team of dedicated student advisors who are there to answer your general queries and make the whole study process as rewarding as possible.

How long will it take? Each 20 credit module requires 200 hours of study, which means if you study part-time you should be able to complete one module or two modules within 6 months. Your final assessment must be taken following completion of each module, and the duration of the programme depends on how many modules you take at a time. Main assessments will be offered twice a year and your mentor will provide you with an individual study plan to ensure realistic aims are set.

How might it work for me? Here are a couple of examples showing how your programme might work: 4 You could choose to enrol in October and study one module for completion in the March session â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then take a further two modules to sit at the September session. 4 Alternatively, you might want to enrol for a full level in May, study three modules and enter for assessment at the September session and the remaining three modules the following March. There's sure to be a combination to suit you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a course advisor will be happy to discuss your options when you call.

Remember, you can enrol at anytime and start studying straight away!

For more information visit icslearn.co.uk or call 0800 096 8436

A flexible way to aim for degree success What does project work involve?* The final year project involves conducting an empirical investigation of a topic related to your course. Your studies at Levels 1 and 2 will ensure you are fully prepared to undertake the Project at Level 3. To help with your project, you'll have regular telephone and e-mail contact with a personal tutor with expertise in your subject area.

Which qualification will you aim for?*

How your progress is assessed* We assess your knowledge and skills through a mixture of coursework and examination. Coursework takes the shape of essays, logs, research projects and practical tasks. As your confidence and abilities grow, across Levels 2 and 3, the emphasis may shift to examination-based assessment. But don't worry, you only move on to the next Level when you think you're ready.

We give you a second, third and fourth chance to get it right At ICS we allow you to take an assessment up to four times (three times for a qualifying law degree), so you don't have to worry about not getting everything right first time. You can sit exams at a number of education centres across the UK (all assessment fees are additional to your course costs).

When you successfully complete a module you will gain 20 credits. In order to gain an Honours Degree, you will need to obtain a total of 360 credits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 120 credits at each level. However, if you prefer to graduate early, you can choose from the following awards: 4 Ordinary Degree with a total of 300 credits 4 Diploma of Higher Education with 240 credits 4 Certificate of Higher Education with 120 credits 4 University Undergraduate Certificate with 40 credits 4 University Undergraduate Associate Certificate with 20 credits Remember that whichever option you choose, you will receive only one final award.

The ways in which people are valued can make a considerable impact on the effectiveness of the organisation. This Generalist Elective covers how people are rewarded in accordance with their value to an organisation.

CIPD Employment Law

This Specialist Elective is particularly appealing, as the volume of employment law cases have increased rapidly because of national legislation, the social dimension of the European Union, and case law based on interpretation of both national legislation and European decisions. Many areas that were considered relatively straightforward have become increasingly complex and more detailed. The professional personnel and development practitioner needs to take employment law beyond mere compliance. To add real value you need to be capable of anticipating and evaluating proposed changes in the law, so that your organisation can plan, prepare and implement sound personnel policies. You must also be able to advise management about the implications of existing and impending legislation on resources and business objectives. Plus you’ll receive a FREE textbook: ‘Essentials of Employment Law’*
