Learning and Teaching
On the BSc Business Management programme we provide opportunities for our students to engage with subject experts including academic staff and industry guest speakers, develop skills, attributes and perspectives that will equip them for life and work in a global society and make use of innovative technologies and a world-class library that will enhance their development as independent, lifelong learners. Examples of the opportunities provided for learning on this degree programme are:
- Adviser of Studies
To provide support and advice on decisions that might affect a student’s academic performance when needed. - Computer-Based Practicals
These provide students with the opportunity to develop technical skills and apply theoretical principles to real-life or practical contexts. - E-Learning technologies
Information associated with lectures and assignments is often communicated via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Canvas. A range of e-learning experiences are also embedded in the degree programme through the use of, for example, interactive support materials, podcasts and web-based learning activities. - Induction
Formalised induction for all undergraduate students. For Stage 1 students, this includes several half-day sessions the week before the programme begins to allow students to familiarise themselves with the campus and the degree programme. During Stage 1 there are a number of follow-up sessions throughout the year. Topics such as academic writing, referencing, plagiarism, communication skills, examination preparation and managing time effectively are all covered in these practical sessions. - Lectures
Lectures are used to present key information about module topics as a starting point for further self-directed private study/reading. As the module progresses this information becomes more complex. Lectures, which are normally delivered to large groups of students, also provide opportunities to ask questions and seek clarification on key issues. A number of modules will include guest lectures where an industry speaker is invited to speak about the application of the content covered in the module within their organisation. This is often an effective way for employers to meet students and inform them about placement or employment opportunities within their organisation. - Peer Mentoring Scheme
Students in the second and final year of their degree programme volunteer to mentor Stage 1 students to aid with the transition to university life. Each level 1 student is allocated to a peer mentor who they meet at their induction session. Peer mentors are a point of contact for questions and advice about student life. - Self-directed study
This is an essential part of life as a Queen’s student when important independent reading, engagement with e-learning resources, preparation for tutorials and assignments and reflection on feedback is carried out. - Seminars/tutorials
A significant amount of teaching is carried out in small groups (typically 25 students). These sessions are designed to explore, in more depth, the information that has been presented in the lectures. This provides students with the opportunity to engage closely with academic staff who have specialist knowledge of the topic, to ask questions of them and to assess their own progress and understanding with the support of their peers. During these classes, students will be expected to present their work to academic staff and their peers. - Work placements
Students on the BSc Business Management programme will take a placement year between the second and final year of the degree programme. The School has a dedicated Placement Office which facilitates students in sourcing and securing appropriate placements which will augment their classroom-based learning experience. In addition, the School encourages students to seek other work-based and/or educational related experiences, whether that is through the summer placement programme (a 3-4 month internship in a local organisation working on a very specific project), Erasmus programmes with other European Universities, or studying abroad in universities with which the School and/or University has an existing relationship.
Assessment
Details of assessments associated with this course are outlined below:
- The way in which students are assessed will vary according to the learning objectives of each module. Details of how each module is assessed are shown in the Student Handbook which is provided to all students during their first year induction. Business Management modules are typically assessed by a mix of continuous assessments and final written unseen examinations. Continuous assessment consists of: class tests, computer generated practical experiments, real life case study research and analysis, academic essays exploring specific current issues such as innovation, consumer behaviour, managing change etc. and individual and small group project and presentations.
Feedback
As students progress through their course at Queen’s they will receive general and specific feedback from a variety of sources including lecturers, module co-ordinators, placement supervisors, advisers of study and peers. University students are expected to engage with reflective practice and to use this approach to improve the quality of their work. Feedback may be provided in a variety of forms including:
- Feedback provided via formal written comments and marks relating to work that you, as an individual or as part of a group, have submitted.
- Face to face comment. This may include occasions when you make use of the lecturers’ advertised “office hours” to help you to address a specific query.
- Placement employer comments or references.
- Online or emailed comment.
- General comments or question and answer opportunities at the end of a lecture, seminar or tutorial.
- Pre-submission advice regarding the standards you should aim for and common pitfalls to avoid. In some instances, this may be provided in the form of model answers or exemplars which you can review in your own time.
- Feedback and outcomes from practical classes.
- Comment and guidance provided by staff from specialist support services such as, Careers, Employability and Skills or the Learning Development Service.
- Once you have reviewed your feedback, you will be encouraged to identify and implement further improvements to the quality of your work.

Business, Government and Society (20 credits)Business, Government and Society
Overview
The module explores the role of business in its wider environmental context and specifically explores the relationships between business, government and society within and across countries. Businesses do not exist and act in a vacuum but rather have to interact with and oftentimes accommodate the views of a wide range of stakeholders in order to be successful. For example, Multinational Enterprises may decide to shift production into low-cost countries, however, they have to consider the societal and legal challenges that this decision generates, both at home and abroad. Organisational structures and corporate governance frameworks are thus developed to ensure that businesses can engage with these wider social and public policy contexts. As a result, businesses are becoming more deeply rooted in and intertwined with local, national and international communities.
Indeed, beyond a narrow profit making focus, there is a growing acceptance that corporate interests can and should converge with societal interests to generate better, sustainable outcomes for the business in the long term. However, balancing the drive to make profits and to satisfy short-term shareholder interests with the long-term needs of society and its environment is tough. Consideration must be given to developing sustainable and responsible businesses. Students will learn about the challenges that businesses but also students themselves face in day-to-day (business) life, and will discuss and develop different solutions to these challenges.Learning Outcomes
Successful completion of the module will enable students to:
• Explore the needs and responsibilities of different stakeholder groups and their impact on business
• Critique the role of business in society
• Develop an understanding on the impact of business on all facets of society
• Analyse and evaluate the relationships within and between business, government and society
• Explain the complexities that characterise the relationships between business, government and society at different levels of governanceSkills
The module aims to give students a sound introduction to issues concerning the interactions and relationships between business, government and society. It will orientate students toward better and more acceptable decisions in business

Innovation Management (20 credits)Innovation Management
Overview
Successful innovation at the firm level is increasingly regarded as key to both productivity growth and enhanced competitiveness while also acting as a driver of economic growth. Innovation is considered crucial for firms’ survival while research has further demonstrated that innovating firms grow faster, have higher productivity and are more profitable than non-innovators. Innovation is, however, an uncertain process and the strategies and processes associated with innovation require a specific set of resources, skills and competencies. Generally, most firms do not have well developed or professionally managed innovation strategies and as a result, they fail to innovate and create new value. This module demonstrates the strategic imperative for innovation and analyses the innovation management function.
This module provides an integrative view of the management of innovation, comprising industrial, organisational and managerial perspectives. In doing so, it aims to critically evaluate the main concepts, measures and indicators of innovation activity and to assess the importance of innovation to both individual businesses and the wider economy.Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module students should be able to:
• Explain and critically reflect on innovation and why it is crucial to competitive advantage and organisational success.
• Conceptualise and critically explore the context and process of innovation management.
• Analyse innovation management in a variety of organisations using examples from the world’s most innovative firms.
• Critically evaluate innovation management and provide recommendations for change demonstrating appropriate judgementSkills
In addition to the above this module provides opportunities for the student to develop the following cognitive and transferrable skills:
• Ability to synthesise, analyse, interpret and evaluate information from a variety of different sources (academic literature, lecture material, quantitative and qualitative business and market information, government publications, web-sites, bibliographic searches).
• Ability to apply critical thinking skills to a variety of different situations (through case study material, problem solving tasks).
• Ability to apply conceptual and empirical tools to business scenarios and use appropriate techniques to present and analyse company data.
• Effective communication (through essay writing, podcast creation and group discussion).Coursework

Selection Criteria
In addition, to the entrance requirements above, it is essential that you read our guidance below on 'How we choose our students' prior to submitting your UCAS application.
Selection Criteria
Applications are dealt with centrally by the Admissions and Access Service rather than by Queen's University Management School. Once your application has been processed by UCAS and forwarded to Queen's, an acknowledgement is normally sent within two weeks of its receipt at the University.
Selection is on the basis of the information provided on your UCAS form, which is considered by a member of administrative staff from the Admissions and Access Service and, if appropriate, the Selector from the School. Decisions are made on an ongoing basis and will be notified to you via UCAS.
Applicants for the BSc Honours in Business Management must be able to satisfy the University's General Entrance Requirement and in addition all applicants must have GCSE Mathematics at grade B/6 or above. There are no specific subjects required at A-level. Offers are normally made in terms of grades rather than UCAS Tariff points.
Demand for places differs from course to course and for Business Management, past performance at GCSE is taken into account when deciding whether or not to make conditional offers. For last year’s entry, the threshold was a minimum of 4A/7 and 2B/6 grades at GCSE. Please note that this changes from year to year depending on the demand for places. The final threshold is not usually determined until late in the admissions cycle, so there may be a delay in processing applicants who do not meet the initial requirements.
Offers are normally made on the basis of 3 A-levels. Two subjects at A-level plus two at AS would also be considered. The offer for repeat applicants is set in terms of 3 A-levels only and may be one grade higher than that asked from first time applicants. Grades may be held from the previous year.
Applicants offering two A-levels and one BTEC Subsidiary Diploma/National Extended Certificate (or equivalent qualification), or one A-level and a BTEC Diploma/National Diploma (or equivalent qualification) will also be considered. Offers will be made in terms of the overall BTEC grade(s) awarded. Please note that a maximum of one BTEC Subsidiary Diploma/National Extended Certificate or AQA Extended Certificate will be counted as part of an applicant’s portfolio of qualifications. The normal GCSE profile will be expected.
For applicants offering Irish Leaving Certificate, please note that performance at Junior Certificate is taken into account. Last year the initial Junior Certificate profile to qualify to be made an offer was 4A/Distinctions and 2B/Higher Merits grades. The Selector also checks that any specific entry requirements in terms of Leaving Certificate subjects can be satisfied. This threshold may be lowered as the cycle progresses depending upon the number and quality of applications. The final threshold is not usually determined until late in the admissions cycle, so there may be a delay in processing applicants who do not meet the initial threshold.
Applicants offering other qualifications, such as BTEC Extended/National Extended Diplomas, Higher National Certificates, and Higher National Diplomas, will also be considered.
The same GCSE profile is usually expected of those applicants taking a BTEC Extended/National Extended Diploma or a Higher National Certificate (HNC), and must include GCSE Mathematics at grade B/6 or above.
For applicants offering a HNC, the current requirements are successful completion of the HNC with 2 Distinctions and remainder Merits.
For those offering a Higher National Diploma (HND), some flexibility may be allowed in terms of GCSE profile, but this must include GCSE Mathematics at grade B/6 or above. To be eligible for an offer, at least half of the units completed in the first year of the HND must be at Merit level and remainder Passes. Applicants must successfully complete the HND with Merits in all units assessed in the final year. Any consideration would be for Stage 1 entry only.
In addition to the academic requirements above, the information provided in the personal statement section and the academic reference together with predicted grades are noted, but these are not the final deciding factors as to whether or not a conditional offer can be made. However, they may be reconsidered in a tie break situation in August.
A-level General Studies and A-level Critical Thinking will not normally be considered as part of a three A-level offer and, although they may be excluded where an applicant is taking 4 A-level subjects, the grade achieved could be taken into account if necessary in August/September.
If you are made an offer then you may be invited to an Open Day organised by Queen's University Management School, which is usually held in the second semester. This will allow you the opportunity to visit the University, to find out more about the degree programme of your choice, the facilities on offer together with a flavour of the academic and social life at Queen's.

Alumni Success
"I was attracted to Queen’s because of its reputation as a leading Russell Group University, the quality of its teaching and the close knit student body you become apart of. I found my lectures to be not only interesting, but relevant and applicable - now as a Management Consultant at Deloitte, I find myself referencing a number of techniques and authors (Scientific Management, PESTEL, Porter, Maslow etc.) on a near daily basis with clients. Further to this the opportunities for further development are second to none including the clubs and societies (e.g. I was the Management Society chair) and unique alliances like the William J. Clinton Leadership Institute, where I undertook Inspiring Leader training. I attribute all of these things in helping me land a top graduate job. Many of the employers, clients and peers are amazed at the wealth of opportunities Queen’s offered me as an undergraduate student."
