Management (with placement year), BSc Hons FullTime
This module has provided me with exactly what I wanted. Which was to have huge flexibility with my modules and the ability to learn loads of differing areas of business. On top of that the careers team have been excellent in helping me develop myself, and to find a placement I am very excited for. The only criticism is sometimes the teaching can become very monotone and unenthusiastic when lecturers prepare a slideshow and then read it to their students. When this is the case it creates the motivation to just read it to ourselves in our own time instead.

I actually started on a different course - I decided I didn't like it and I changed. Staff were extremely helpful and the change was relatively easy. My personal tutor has been extremely supportive the whole year - but this is only if you reach out to them. They are required to have 2 meetings with you: one at the start of the year, and one after your semester one exams. Though this may differ depending on the tutor, typically, it is up to the student to communicate with the personal tutor and it is very rare you receive any other kind of communication with them besides these. Additionally, lecturers (again, this is dependable on the lecturers you are assigned) are very blunt and unlikely to go into detail about their teachings. A typical lecture consists of the teacher reading off of the PowerPoint and providing you with a recommendation of a textbook for you to read for 'more information'. Excellent career advice and placement help and a lovely teaching environment overall though. read more

I think that this course really was what I was expecting for. I really recommend it to anyone into geography and environmental sciences, but who would also like to gain some knowledge, skills and understanding of management, business and economics concepts and practices. From the 2nd year the content became very customizable and I feel that it equiped me with everything I wanted and needed. My personal tutor, Allan, has been amazing in his role. read more

My course offered so much variety and I would definitely recommend it. In first year you have a great selection of compulsory modules and then by the time you get to second and third year you know more about the areas that interest you most and have more choice over the modules you study. The field trips on offer are amazing and you have the option to do a placement year which is a great way of getting experience to help secure a graduate job when you finish. It is a course that sets you up for a whole host of careers and my friends have all gone on to achieve great things. read more

My course as a whole is more demanding as it combines two disciplines. However it is also more beneficial for me, as, for a student with a strong interest in Geography, however the desire to work within business, it gives me the exposure to each and the general business minded skills needed for the future. Additionally, I would highly recommend doing a Sandwich course as it gives you exposure to a professional environment before graduating. Not only making you more employable, but also giving you an idea of exactly what you want from a job coming out of university (if you haven't already been offered a job through your placement!) read more

Experience depends heavily on the modules. Some have had good lecturers while others very boring.
