| Every programme has a dedicated Programme Director who is the architect of the learning process and who supports each student in understanding the core material and the customised workshops, to develop personal competencies and how to improve organisational performances. The Programme Director will also give individual TUTORIALS.
STUDY MATERIALS
When you first register, we will provide you with a
comprehensive range of materials, in print and via the
WWLC website. This will include;
A handbook
giving you information on planning your studies and
preparing for the examinations.
The
programme regulations.
A booklet of
tutor-marked assignments.
For each course you study we will provide;
A study
guide, written by subject specialists, containing the
core content for the courses and case studies.
A reader
containing copies of articles and book chapters that
have been specially selected from leading academic
journals and books, either because they are considered
classics or because they present the most recent
developments in the field.
Materials on
each client’s business covering the latest issues in
their sectors.
Core
textbooks.
Past
examination papers, where a course has previously been
examined, and, for some papers, examiners’ reports.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
In addition to the Programme Director, you will be
supported by;
A tutor for
each of the core courses, who will mark your assignments
and give you feedback.
An
individual tutor for your MBA/MSc dissertation.
Royal
Holloway has established a World Wide Learning Community
(WWLC) on the Web, where tutors respond to enquiries and
students can meet and exchange ideas.
ASSESSMENT
As you progress you will be examined by the University and the School and you will earn your MBA/MSc through hard work, intellectual endeavour and by reaching the high standard demanded in your examinations, assignments and projects.
Each of the core courses, except for the research course, is assessed by one three-hour, unseen, written examination and an assignment. The projects and the PDP are examined by viva and the dissertation will consist of a 12,000 word report. |
