Dear Student

WELCOME TO THE CARDIFF SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT AT CARDIFF METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY

Congratulations! As Dean, I am delighted that you are joining us at the Management School - we really
look forward to helping you go from success to success.

You’ve been offered a place, not only as a result of your academic track record, but also because we
believe you want to make something of yourself through a commitment to learning, hard work and
fun. And you will find no shortage of opportunities for fun here in the fabulous capital city of Cardiff!

You will start the journey of a lifetime by studying with us. You’ll find that it’s a journey where your
intelligence, energy, ambition and our expert knowledge combine to give you the chance to prosper
when you leave us for the world of business.

With us, you will find that you are living and working in a stimulating environment with tutors who
bring their enthusiasm, skills and hard-won knowledge to your learning. You’ll know that our courses
are tested against the best of those offered by modern universities in the UK and the requirements of
employers and leading professional institutes.

In September 2010, we moved to the most modern management school building in the UK and this
continues to give us the chance to improve yet further the quality of the Cardiff Experience.

While you are here, you will be given every opportunity to build up a CV that is attractive to employers.
These days, they are looking not only for ‘technical’ skills, but also the leadership, people and
communication skills that virtually all good jobs demand. In the words of one local employer (judged
to be one of the best to work for in the UK) – ‘we are looking for interesting people who do things …be
it music, sport, [or] charity.’ Challenge yourself to show that you are one of those interesting people
– starting the day you arrive at our campus!

I look forward to seeing and working with you.

Best wishes

PROFESSOR DAVID BROOKSBANK

Dear Student

A very warm welcome to the Cardiff Metropolitan University MBA programme!

Your experience of pursuing this programme is going to be both challenging and
rewarding. This information will help you to prepare better for the programme.

If you have been away from education for some time and/or have studied
disciplines very different or much changed in the intervening years before
beginning this course you may be a little apprehensive. The important thing is not
to worry because we will guide you as to our expectation of the quality and
standard of work required and help realise your potential.

Whilst there are many on-line resources available to you through our Virtual Learning Environment;
Moodle and the university electronic library – and these will be explained at your induction –
attendance at lectures still remains. A lecturer will provide support materials depending upon their
teaching style and will facilitate your learning experience at the university. You will be expected to
take your own notes and maintain files of information to prepare for assessments in each module. In
simple terms you will be in the driving seat of your learning.

Moreover, we expect you to actively engage and the start of this is to read and think critically about
the information you are given, checking all sources and the basis for the conclusions reached. You are
now becoming a student of the business world. Such students work hard to form their own evidenced
opinions and use the words of others to inform an understanding of case study examples leading to
the shaping of discussions and ideas for application in the work-place, ultimately helping promising
careers.

If you do not do so already - I would strongly recommend you to listen to the business news, learn
about business developments around the world and the government policies that influence change.

More academically there are some core texts that will improve your ability to reach the pass mark of
50%, and hopefully go beyond to 70% and above (Distinction-level work). I would encourage you to
become familiar with these. The more effort you make to read around a topic, noting in particular the
lead authors and their opinions, the more likely you are to develop sound opinions yourself, reached
by reflection and critique. You must become aware of the Harvard referencing system. This is one of
the most straightforward referencing styles available and easily learned and if you are familiar with
this before you start writing you will be at an advantage.

Dr Ricky Li

Principal Lecturer and MBA Programme Director

unprecedented times. We recognise these are exceptional circumstances and the challenges we face
are varied but our students and staff have been playing their part in keeping our campuses and our
communities safe by following the guidelines - washing hands regularly, wearing masks and keeping a
2-meter distance from those not in their households and following social distancing guidelines. By
continuing studies online with an enhanced digital learning content, we are all helping to reduce the
risk of transmission of this virus and to allow us to adhere to the UK and Welsh Government
regulations regarding social distancing.

Digital content will include live online lectures/seminars (streamed with MS Teams), seminar question
and answer sessions through MS Teams, guided independent and self-directed tasks, individual and
group seminar activities and tasks that support student’s learning and assessments.

We will continue to provide you with an exciting learning experience that enables you to progress
through your course encouraging you to connect with your peers, to think creatively in solving
problems and to identify and seize opportunities for your own development.

Your health and wellbeing are central to all our decisions and we will support your academic
