EUROMAN WITH PLYMOUTH UNIVERSITY
WELCOME
TO EUROMAN 10 Welcome to your Plymouth University ‘Euroman’ programme. Whilst at Plymouth we aim to give you a rewarding and enjoyable experience. You will find the teachers and administrators at the University friendly, welcoming and committed to your success. Today’s managers working in the engineering sector must have a strong sense of where the world is going, a sound base of knowledge and skills, and an enterprising spirit. Whatever your career aspirations, we are committed to enabling you to learn and apply a body of knowledge to a variety of situations and to develop your management skills. Our programme is designed to provide you with the academic knowledge necessary to translate theory into practice and to enable you to apply that knowledge effectively in your current or future career. We hope you find your programme both contemporary and stimulating. We want you to have fun, and we want you to be stretched to the best of your academic abilities. You will have opportunities to experience a range of approaches to learning during your time Studying on Euroman. Please seize these opportunities and remember that ‘life is not a dress rehearsal’; you get out what you put in. Good luck in your studies! Professor David Wheeler Pro Vice-Chancellor and Executive Dean of Business, Plymouth University
