17	Purpose and learning outcomes of the programme
18	Statement of purpose for applicants to the programme Please express succinctly the overall aims of the programme as an applicant facing statement for a prospectus or website. This should clarify to a prospective student why they should choose this programme, what it will provide to them and what benefits they will gain from completing it.
19	The BSc in Business and Management aims to equip you to become a reflective, internationally, socially and ethically aware specialist in operations management, able to identify business and management problems, gather together the relevant information affecting the issue, analyse it, and then decide, present, and act on a course of action, in a team if necessary. You will be able to competently engage with project and supply chain management situations, use a range of techniques to aid decision making, and act as a business and management consultant. Throughout the programme you will be encouraged to broaden and deepen your digital literacy by engaging with technology-enhanced learning techniques and through making use of a variety of software packages to aid with parts of your course, such as making videos, forecasting and decision making. If you choose to do a placement year with us, you will have an early taste of practice, not only equipping you for the jobs market but enhancing your final year by providing you with experience for analysis and reflection.
20	Programme Learning OutcomesPlease provide six to eight statements of what a graduate of the programme can be expected to do. Taken together, these outcomes should capture the distinctive features of the programme. They should also be outcomes for which progressive achievement through the course of the programme can be articulated, and which will therefore be reflected in the design of the whole programme.
21	PLO	On successful completion of the programme, graduates will be able to:
22	1	promote reflective, internationally-, socially-, and ethically-aware approaches and principles to complex business situations and planning;
23	2	identify and diagnose problems in business and management by applying management and operations theory to specific cases;
24	3	manage business, management and operational information by assessing the quality of the evidence base, identifying gaps and inadequacies, and using suitable methods to collect and collate relevant data;
25	4	make robust, evidence-based strategic and operational decisions by critically analysing textual and numerical information and data using appropriate qualitative and quantitative techniques;
26	5	argue for specific management and operational proposals and recommendations by presenting relevant, appropriately detailed information, coherently, articulately and confidently;
27	6	assess the impact at an operational level of putting managerial decisions into practice, taking into account time and resource constraints;
28	7	liaise and work with others on team projects in a professional and collegial manner;
29	8	adapt to different management situations and correct for the differences between theory and practice by reflecting on first-hand experience, evaluating personal strengths and weaknesses, and keeping up-to-date with relevant business ideas.
30	Programme Learning Outcome for year in industry (where applicable) For programmes which lead to the title ‘with a Year in Industry’ – typically involving an additional year – please provide either a) amended versions of some (at least one, but not necessarily all) of the standard PLOs listed above, showing how these are changed and enhanced by the additional year in industry b) an additional PLO, if and only if it is not possible to capture a key ability developed by the year in industry by alteration of the standard PLOs.
31	PLO8 is modified to read: "adapt to different management situations and correct for the differences between theory and practice by reflecting on first-hand experience, evaluating personal strengths and weaknesses, and keeping up-to-date with relevant business ideas."
32	Programme Learning Outcome for year abroad programmes (where applicable) For programmes which lead to the title ‘with a Year Abroad’ – typically involving an additional year – please provide either a) amended versions of some (at least one, but not necessarily all) of the standard PLOs listed above, showing how these are changed and enhanced by the additional year abroad or b) an additional PLO, if and only if it is not possible to capture a key ability developed by the year abroad by alteration of the standard PLOs.
33	Use intercultural understanding/awareness to adapt to culturally different management situations, to deal with people of other cultures, and to adjust and apply business and management theory and concepts to solve real-world business and management problems in different cultural contexts.
34	Explanation of the choice of Programme Learning OutcomesPlease explain your rationale for choosing these PLOs in a statement that can be used for students (such as in a student handbook). Please include brief reference to:
35	i) Why the PLOs are considered ambitious or stretching?
36	These Programme Learning Outcomes are intended to stand as a foundation for your professional life. They take you through the entire decision-making process, focussing in business and management (with a specialism in operations management), but applicable to virtually all situations. They will enable you to be a confident, analytical and ethically-aware decision-maker, capable of supporting your actions through robust evidence-based methods, and measuring and reflecting upon the impact of decisions made and implemented.
37	ii) The ways in which these outcomes are distinctive or particularly advantageous to the student:
38	They are intended to cover a range of skills designed to help students transfer their learning to business or management after graduation. The focus on operations management throughout provides a particular worldview and a widely applicable set of skills. There is also a distinct ethical component which students will be able to reflect upon as they become more mature practitioners. This will help to encourage students not just to learn at York but also to gain value from their education with us for life.
39	iii) How the programme learning outcomes develop students’ digital literacy and will make appropriate use of technology-enhanced learning (such as lecture recordings, online resources, simulations, online assessment, ‘flipped classrooms’ etc)?
40	Digital skills are essential to the programme, and fundamentally entwined throughout a large number of modules. Whether used as part of finding suitable information on the internet, analysing data in a variety of ways through several software packages such as Excel or SPSS, constructing presentations in PowerPoint or Prezi, or coordinating small group activities using Hangouts or Facebook messenger, the use of computers as aids is ubiquitous. Students will also have the opportunity to learn about the safeguarding of organizations from cybersecurity threats. Some modules provide some opportunities for the preparation of short videos as part of their assessment.
41	iv) How the PLOs support and enhance the students’ employability (for example, opportunities for students to apply their learning in a real world setting)? The programme's employability objectives should be informed by the University's Employability Strategy:
42	http://www.york.ac.uk/about/departments/support-and-admin/careers/staff/
43	Above all else, we strive to give our students strong decision-making skills, centred in business and management. Throughout the programme, they are exposed to specialised employability sessions and will have dealt with real world problems. If they choose to do a placement year with us, they will build on these competencies further, not only equipping them for the jobs market but enhancing their final year by providing them with experience for analysis and reflection. By the end of the programme, they will have worked with real clients in a consultancy situation, have carried out first-hand research and will have polished their presentation skills to varied audiences.
44	vi) How will students who need additional support for academic and transferable skills be identified and supported by the Department?
45	All students have access to a supervisor who will meet them at least once a term during the year and point students towards the creation of a disability support plan if necessary. Personal development planning will also enable students to discuss skill development throughout the programme. Two core modules in the first year will be dedicated to the development of transferable skills, and support continues throughout the programme.
46	vii) How is teaching informed and led by research in the department/ centre/ University?
47	All BSc Business and Management students undertake research based teaching as part of their core programme; in first year students will be introduced to inquiry based learning in the context of a case study in the Introduction to International Management module. In second year these skills will be developed and students will undertake an independent, business-focused inquiry as part of the Business Planning module. Students will also undertake an inquiry drawing on their skills of statistical analysis and will use SPSS to examine real-world problems in Advanced Quantitative Methods. In their final year of study students will draw on this approach in a commercial context in the Business Consultancy Projects module, and are offered the opportunity to do so in a more academic context by engaging with a dissertation. All modules which are inquiry based are research oriented in that they introduce students to the research processes needed to support the inquiry undertaken. Research led teaching starts in year one but increases significantly as students move toward graduation. The research led element of the programme facilitates the development of critical thinking skills which underpin professional scepticism. The following university research themes are incorporated into the programme as they apply in an management or business context: culture and communication; environmental sustainability and resilience; justice and equality; and risk, evidence and decision making. Students also have the opportunity to attend sessions run by experts from the school, the wider university and beyond who are actively engaged in research in these areas.
48	Stage-level progression Please complete the table below, to summarise students’ progressive development towards the achievement of PLOs, in terms of the characteristics that you expect students to demonstrate at the end of each year. This summary may be particularly helpful to students and the programme team where there is a high proportion of option modules. Note: it is not expected that a position statement is written for each PLO, but this can be done if preferred (please add information in the 'individual statement' boxes). For a statement that applies across all PLOs in the stage fill in the 'Global statement' box.

57	Programme Structure
58	Module Structure and Summative Assessment Map Please complete the summary table below which shows the module structure and the pattern of summative assessment through the programme. ‘Option module’ can be used in place of a specific named option. If the programme requires students to select option modules from specific lists these lists should be provided in the next section. From the drop-down select 'S' to indicate the start of the module, 'A' to indicate the timing of each distinct summative assessment point (eg. essay submission/ exam), and 'E' to indicate the end of the module (if the end of the module coincides with the summative assessment select 'EA') . It is not expected that each summative task will be listed where an overall module might be assessed cumulatively (for example weekly problem sheets). If summative assessment by exams will be scheduled in the summer Common Assessment period (weeks 5-7) a single ‘A’ can be used within the shaded cells as it is understood that you will not know in which week of the CAP the examination will take place.
