a s u p p o r t e d o p e n
l e a r n i n g p r o g r a m m e
offering undergraduate
degrees from HWU. Four
HWMP Degrees are offered
at B&B. These are the BA
in Business Administration,
Accountancy & Finance,
Business & Finance and
Management & Psychology.
Each degree option is struc-tured in three progressive
stages, with each stage com-
prising four common
streams called module sets.
Module sets are comprised
of either a) two linked sub-
jects covering a particular
topic that is worth a total of30 credits, or b) Two stand
-alone subjects that are
worth 15 credits each. Stu-
dents are required to com-
plete two of these stand-
alone subjects to gain the
30 credits required for the
completion of a module set.
Students who have achieved
360 credits over the periodof study are awarded the
degree. For all degree op-
tions, students may choose
any combination of mod-
ules in a stage and between
stages, providing that the
pre-requisites for that par-
ticular module are met
(there are no pre-requisites
for Stage I). As such, it is
possible to do as little as
one and as much as four
(the maximum allowable)
modules in any one year.
Exemptions can be offered
for modules based on the
submissions to HWU of thetertiary-level qualifications
held and an assessment by
that body. However, the

granted is limited to a maxi-

Heriot-Watt University Student Testimonials
Natalie Jones,
Barbados
I chose the Heriot Watt
University programme based on
three criteria: flexibility, popularity
and range of programmes available. I
liked that this programme did not
require me to submit periodic as-
signments, only self-study and ex-
aminations as frequently as my work
schedule would permit. Good pro-
gramme, great flexibility, with online
and electronic study resources to
help me along the way.
Alfred Okot Okidi,
Uganda
I have found the Heriot
Watt programme to be unique, prac-
tical, relevant and so enriching.The programme was quite taxing, as
I had to blend my reading with a
demanding work schedule. The
beauty of the programme to me was
in the flexibility of the course and
concise course materials presented in
stimulating language. I treasure the
programme more than all my earlier
qualifications and courses.
Jason Julien,
Trinidad & Tobago
The HWU experience far exceeded
my expectations. The quality of
the teaching materials was first-class, as they were well written and
effectively communicated the com-
plex concepts. In addition to pre-
senting theory and practice, the au-
thors fostered critical thinking with
their narrative. I highly recommend
HWU for anyone seeking to equip
themselves for the challenges of
todays competitive world.
Completing this Programme has truly made me proud of myself. For all my accomplishments so far I think this is the one that tops
them all. I always dreamed of obtaining a tertiary education and Im happy I did it when I did. It has certainly made a positive change in
my life and I m excited to take my career to the next level. GraduateBA in Accountancy and Finance - T&T

Psychology studies and analyses human functions and behaviour so as to predict and shape actions. A large part of manage-ment science is about guiding and shaping our people assets to produce the desired behaviours. The marriage of the two
areas in theBA in Management and Psychology is then a perfect complement that gives you knowledge of a wide rangeof the issues that affect a business environment and how you can develop and implement the right action plans for success
within that environment. Graduates will be well-prepared for careers in business management, teaching, counselling, nurs-ing, social work, probation work and market research, as well as careers within the psychology profession itself.

Class Structure and Schedule
Lectures in the available degree options will be held on weekdays during the daytime be-tween the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and in the evenings between the hours of 5:30 pm to8:30 pm. Lectures will also be held on Sundays (depending on the number of registrations)
between 9:00 am-4:00 pm. The lectures will focus on the review, discussion and practicalapplication of key concepts and material. This learning style is designed to deepen the
knowledge of an area by encouraging a critical-thinking approach revolving around an un-derstandingof the material, rather than a detailed rote-learning regurgitation of the sylla-bus. The lectures would be followed by a tutorial at the start of each month (weekly for the
day programme). This will be focused on solving problems relatedto the issues covered in the lectures for the preceding month. Abreakdown of the allocated times is shown below:

Classes scheduled to enhance learning experience.
Review classes in a particular subject will be held once every two
weeks. Students have enough time to review material and prepare
for new topics, which deepens the benefits gained from the classdiscussions..The classes will focus on the review, discussion and
practical application of key concepts and material. This learning
style is designed to deepen the knowledge of an area by encouraging
a critical-thinking approach revolving around an understanding
of the material, rather than a detailed rote-learning regurgitation
of the syllabus....
