Being a Graduate at

Mont Rose College Nikolay’s Story In April 2019, I opened a new chapter in my life by enrolling at Mont Rose College. This college was highly recommended to me by a friend for its excellent facilities and commendable teaching. I wanted a UK degree that would open up new doors for me. Hence, I decided to study at Mont Rose. The admissions staff were extremely helpful.

In addition to expanding my computer skills, the College helped me develop crucial marketing skills and abilities through

many

more

theories

and

models. The lecturers were patient, inclusive and very empathetic. The lectures were extremely engaging and included real-world examples.

I would like to say a big thank you to all lecturers and staff of Mont Rose College for helping me fulfil my dreams and advance my career.

33

This is how our

Students Feel

“I chose to study with Mont Rose College because they offered me support in every step of the way.

The course is 4 years long and in the very first year I was able to get used to the dynamics and expectations of the course. The course involved modules from Marketing to Finance and this has helped me make a decision about my future career path.”

DENI BA (HONS) Business Management with Foundation Year

“During my time studying DET, I have gained a vast amount of experience on the road to becoming a teacher. I am grateful for the knowledge I acquired and the opportunities given to me during the entire course. With the support of my lecturer, the whole experience was rewarding. I felt my confidence grew because my lecturer was available to provide feedback which was reassuring, and enabled me to improve on my weaknesses.”

TEACHING & LEARNING At level 6, students are expected to become more independent learners. At this strategic level, students should be able to demonstrate the ability to critically review and analyse theories, concepts, assumptions, and arguments and to synthesise and evaluate information from a wide variety of sources in relation to the hospitality industry.

The diverse assessment strategy combines case studies, essays, reports, the compilation of a portfolio, a consultancy project, and the opportunity for self-assessment and reflection. The assessment regime is designed to test students’ ability to identify, analyse, critically evaluate, and reflect on management issues and challenges with which the hospitality industry is confronted.

The Consultancy Project requires students to produce a major piece of written work based on their research on a relevant topic of their choice.

Submission, marking, and feedback on student assignments is facilitated electronically. Students, who require guidance in relation to academic writing and the preparation of assignments, will have access to the materials developed by, and support from, the Learning Development Unit (LDU) and electronically to the services of tutors within the LDU. Students will also have the opportunity for ongoing interaction, via blogs and the discussion board, with the Course Leader and module tutors.

MONT ROSE COLLEGE PROSPECTUS 2023

LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS students are engaged in subject-specific contexts. Students are given the opportunity to interact with and diverse research aspects of the hospitality industry by virtue of fieldwork, practical application through the use of training facilities located at Missenden Abbey, and the completion of their Consultancy Project.

Modules enable students to develop key skills which are aligned with both QAA and QCA. Programme outcomes are mapped against QAA hospitality, leisure, sport, and tourism subject benchmarks whilst the modes and scope of assessment have been formulated with reference to the learning outcomes for each module.

Students receive study materials by means of timetabled lectures and seminars but will also have access to Webex, podcasts, vodcasts, and other appropriate VLE tools and interact with their tutors online through the use of discussion boards, blogs, and wikis.

The use of VLE further allows students to develop and demonstrate competence in the area of information technology. Support for the planning, implementation, and presentation of the research project is provided through online action learning sets conducted via Blackboard through the use of discussion groups, blogs, and, where appropriate, video conferencing.

In action, learning sets participants to work within a small, mutually supportive group facilitated by a member of the programme team.

Students are allocated a consultancy project supervisor, appropriate to the topic/work experience selected, who advises and supports students in the completion of the project. The Course Leader functions as a personal tutor to students enrolled on the programme. A review of students’ progress is undertaken after each module in order to monitor progress, identify incipient problems and, where necessary, take remedial action.

TEACHING & LEARNING Modules on this programme will be taught in line with best practices across the university and in the sector. A variety of approaches, and good use of the latest technology, will be blended together to engage students in learning in class and beyond and to encourage full student participation. Meanwhile, the Course Team will strive to ensure that all modules embrace current industrial practice wherever possible.

The teaching and learning strategies employed throughout the course are those judged to be the most appropriate for each module at each stage and level of the course. The strategies have been designed to ensure that there is a progression from formal teaching through to student-centered independent learning as the student progresses through the levels of the course(s).

A range of teaching methods will be used, including:

Lectures This is the most formal teaching strategy employed in teaching the modules. It is generally used to deliver a body of theoretical information to a large group of students and is most effective when followed up by a seminar or tutorial session to consolidate learning.

The lecture format may be supported by written handouts, Web, or library references, which reinforce and expand the audio-visual information presented. In addition, staff will make appropriate use of the VLE (Blackboard) facilities. This should enable lecturers to enhance the traditional communication and learning mediums, as well as making material available to students at home and university.

Tutorials / Practical Sessions Often in smaller groups, tutorials are guided learning sessions, which can either support a formal lecture by students working through tutorial sheets with the help of a lecturer or by students working through practical exercises in, say, a computing room.

95

Assessment Strategies

Entry Requirements

A variety of assessment vehicles will be used as appropriate to the module, including assignments carried out in the student’s own time, in-class assignments, workshops, presentations, and formal examination. The form of assessment has been chosen so as to motivate students to achieve their best and create learning activities for the students. The assessment vehicles for individual modules are detailed in the module descriptor.

Applicants will be primarily assessed on their academic qualifications, although some previous experience and interest in software engineering or Computing or IT is desirable as part of the candidate’s overall profile. A typical offer will include GCSE Maths and English at grade C or above and a UCAS Tariff score of 80. A minimum of two full A-levels (or equivalent) is required.

This score can be achieved from passes in two 6-unit GCE A-levels/AVCEs or a pass in a 12-unit AVCE. Every application is considered on an individual basis.

Assessments will be appropriate to the task, achievable, motivating, and vocationally focussed and will form a constructive part of the learning process.

English Language Requirements:

Assessments will develop general transferable skills as well as academic skills.

» IELTS: 6 (min 5.5 in all areas)

Assessments will provide sufficient opportunity for the best students to exhibit a level of innovation and creativity associated with excellence.

» Pearson: 55 (51 in all subscores).

Level 4 assessments will be primarily formative and will encourage the development of appropriate academic practice and concepts. The emphasis will be on frequent small-scale evaluations wherever possible, with a balance between formative and summative assessment.

Level 5 assessments will be more demanding, with the emphasis still on the development of knowledge, skills, and concepts but now encouraging learning at greater depth, emphasising the fundamental principles. There will be a shift towards summative assessment.

Level 6 assessments are designed so as to allow students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills so that they have become effective, independent learners. The emphasis is on summative assessment.

Advice, Feedback, and Collaborative Learning Assessment is an integral part of the education process, promoting student learning by providing a focus for consolidating, applying, and demonstrating understanding of the subject matter.

The listed summative assessment regime essentially measures and grades learner development and achievement in relation to the Intended Learning Outcomes. It also generates feedback information for students about the strengths and weaknesses in their work, with tutors affirming what students have done well whilst giving constructive and encouraging advice about areas requiring reflection and further improvement.

» TOEFL Internet test: 87 (R22, L21, S23, W21) We also consider applications from those who have gained relevant skills through a wide range of vocational qualifications or responsible experience and experiential learning for mature applicants.

Progression Routes on Completion Why students should choose this award Although this course is intentionally broadly based, it nevertheless will teach you vital vocational skills in-depth throughout your time with us, covering the various Software Lifecycle stages (with example content of each as follows): analysis (applying Use Cases, Sequence Diagrams), Design (covering Class Diagrams, Finite State Machines), programming (implementing code in C#, Java & C++) and testing (addressing Unit, Integration, System, Acceptance). In addition, the teaching staff has underpinned much of the material with ‘first-hand’ commercial experience (via Knowledge-Based Transfer and/or previous IT careers) as well as being enhanced by their own research activities and professional certification programmes provided by Microsoft, HP, and Cisco. This latter element can optionally be taken by students throughout the course, providing a considerable advantage when finally entering the jobs market.

Tuition Fee The tuition fee is £9,250 per annum. Students on this course may be fully funded by the Student Loan Company. This facility is only available to the UK and other European Union students.

At Level 6, students may choose to undertake one of the following research-based options (Normally students at partner colleges will not study these options alongside other optional modules):

» Dissertation

» Workshops

» Consultancy Project

» Self-study and self-directed research

» Negotiated Work-Based Learning

The dissertation is a research project which is based on a topic to be investigated, and the outcome is likely to answer a set of research questions. The dissertation is expected to be submitted in the form of a thesis. Formative feedback is provided by regular discussions with the dissertation supervisor and through comments received on draft chapters.

The objective of the course is to develop knowledge, skills and analytical ability of students to enable them to enter a successful career in business organisations. The general approach to the

The consultancy project is based on a business problem to be solved or an opportunity to be explored. The outcome of a consultancy project is likely to be solution(s) identified and/or implemented by the student. The final outcome is submitted in the form of a consultancy report. This report will explain and justify the steps taken throughout the project and the outcomes achieved. On-going formative feedback will be provided throughout by the organisational contact/sponsor as well as by the university tutor.

The Negotiated Work Based project is a means to address a learning and development issue rather than solving a problem or exploring a research question. The outcome will primarily be learning gained, and practices improved. The final report is likely to revolve around a reflective learning process, explaining, justifying and analysing learning projects. For example, it could follow an experiential learning cycle several times to critique and evaluate learning gained from various experiences. Formative feedback will be gained from organisational contacts as well as university tutors – with the emphasis throughout being learning achieved rather than tasks achieved.

Entry Requirements Students will be expected to have passed in at least 5 GCSE/GCE subjects, of which two must be Advanced Level or equivalent (BTEC National, GNVQ Level 3 at Merit, International Baccalaureate, Abitur etc.), GCSE passes in Mathematics and English Language, or equivalent, at grade C or

TEACHING & LEARNING LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS TO ACHIEVE THE PROGRAMME LEARNING OUTCOMES Throughout the award, the objective is to develop the knowledge, skills and analytical ability of students to enable them to enter successful careers in business organisations. This objective is met by a combination of lecture inputs, workshops, self-study and directed research and investigation. Students are required to work both individually and in groups. The assessment tasks include individual assignments, group work, examinations, enterprise activities and project work in a combination designed to assess and meet the stated aims and the required learning outcomes.

The assessment strategy is designed to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved, and there is progressive development of knowledge and skills. During the Foundation Year, students will be exposed to a variety of summative and formative assessments whilst developing the academic skills to be a successful student at university; course content and Learning Outcomes strongly relate to students developing their knowledge and understanding of the subjects being studied and assessed. At level 4, students are expected to describe, explain and review concepts, theories and models; at level 5 students apply, analyse and evaluate; and

at level 6 independent learning is more embedded and students develop a depth of understanding via critical analysis and evaluation. At level 4, all students are provided with a foundation across all business areas, whilst at levels 5 and 6 the assessment strategies within the specialist modules provide more challenging opportunities for developing critical analysis and evaluation through problem-solving, case studies and the dissertation.

Formative assessment is a key feature of the programme enabling early feedback to be given on progress and to help students improve performance. Assessment at all levels is by coursework, practical tasks and examination, with some modules being assessed by 100% coursework. The course is designed to give students opportunities to undertake work-based learning and enterprise activities which can form part of the learning and assessment of the programme.

Tuition Fee The tuition fee is £ 9250 per annum. Students on this course may be fully funded by the Student Loan Company. This facility is only available to the UK and other European Union students.

The structure of the programme runs across 12-15 months (depending on when a particular cohort start) with 180 credits being attained over this period.

This builds up to Part 3, which consists of the self-managed learning module: Dissertation.

individual pieces of work, some students benefit from working in action learning sets – and these will be facilitated by the tutors in addition to individual supervision meetings. These allow for peer-to-peer learning as well as a peer-to-peer formative assessment. Such interactive activities help students to gain from different perspectives as well as develop their abilities to work

interactive lectures, discussions, group work, presentations and business simulation games. These relate to topics that are set in a scheme of work for each module. Learning outcomes for the programme and specific modules are applied to the content under discussion at each session. A consistent approach in this is the relationship of theory to practice. Students are introduced to theories and content; discussion applies this to their experience and to case studies. Core texts are recommended for each module.

Students are assisted in further reading by the use of Blackboard and Library databases. This provides them with continuous access to learning materials, discussion boards, wikis as well as the full range of library facilities.

Throughout the programme, the objective is to enhance the knowledge, skills, and analytical ability of students. Learning outcomes are met by a combination of self-study, directed research and investigation, online tutor support, and Blackboard materials as well as tutor-led sessions. Input is not limited to tutor input, though the programme team makes regular use of guest from

The assessment strategy is designed to ensure that learning outcomes are achieved and that there is a development of knowledge and skills. Independent learning is embedded within the programme, and students develop a depth of understanding via synthesis, critical analysis and evaluation.

such as an individual report, individual presentation, or reflective portfolio. The importance of the notion of learning from personal reflection is emphasised by the inclusion of the need for personal reflection in many of the assessments; even though not necessarily contributing to the mark awarded, the team believes that such reflective skills are an important habit to develop. Such assessment tasks, then, help to prepare students for similar challenges in their careers – with managers at all levels and in all types of organisations increasingly needing to be able to communicate ideas in different ways: face-to-face or remotely, with or without planning time, solo or with colleagues.

Formative assessment is provided for in each module – students learn from feedforward as well as feedback. Such support is provided in a number of different ways, such as: face-to-face in-class student discussions with tutors or peers, formative assessments, tutor guidance, and comment on draft work. The programme team also offers remote help through, for example, Skype or similar.

Assessment loads across the programme are monitored carefully to avoid imbalance or too many instances of clusters – although this latter point cannot be totally avoided given the nature of timetabled study. The programme team work to ensure that assessments are spread and are equivalent sizes such as word counts.
