Your Community, your University

Your community, your University I am Professor Clive Behagg – as Vice-Chancellor and the leader of the University, it is my enormous pleasure to join our students, who have provided the word cloud for the front cover and the art pieces featured throughout, in welcoming you to our prospectus.

The Best … Ranked the best modern university in the UK for student experience. The Complete University Guide 2010 Nationally Recognised … Ranked in the top 10 of all UK universities for student satisfaction. The Times Good University Guide 2010 Highly Rated … We were rated in the top three alongside Oxford and Cambridge universities for our ‘personal relationship with teaching staff’. Times Higher Education Student Experience Survey 2009 Rising Star … Almost 75% of the University’s research has been judged to be world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised. Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008

I have been re-reading the National Student Survey feedback we received from students, as they left the University last year, and I have been struck by their characteristic sense of having been on a positive journey of personal fulfilment with us. For example: Life changing ‘Life changing. I gained inspiration. A love for new things. Confidence. Self-belief.’ Grown so much in conﬁdence ‘I have felt so inspired by my lecturers and have developed a new passion for my subject I never thought I would have. The lecturers are enthusiastic and motivating you can't help but share in that. I've grown so much in confidence, and I wish I could have another three years!’ * The perspective of students who have completed this journey is very important for those of you about to set out on what could be a life-changing experience of higher education. Because, if you are typical of the students who have come to Chichester over the last twenty years or so, you will be excited and daunted by the prospect in equal parts. Certainly, one part of you will be concerned as to whether university is the right option for you, if you will enjoy it and, above all, if you will be able to meet the challenges that studying for a degree will pose for you and be successful in graduating to employment. My message is – take heart from the example of others in the same position as you who have taken the leap and been successful. At Chichester, we have some of the highest student satisfaction rates and some of the highest completion rates in the modern university sector. Others recognise the impact this experience will make, our students are well-prepared for the employment market and our graduate employment rates are good. The secret of our success lies in the strength of our community and the sense of belonging

that students have when they become part of the University of Chichester. Whilst we are a ‘modern university’, we are also an older foundation established in 1839 to support widening participation in education. For many generations we have taken students, with latent ability that has often not been fully demonstrated by the point of entry, and supported their development in a learning environment in which they feel comfortable and valued as well as challenged and excited. Many of our students are from the first generation of their families to go to university, and so this is a real ‘leap in the dark’ for them. Others are individuals contemplating a return to education after a less than positive experience earlier in their life, or because they wish to change career. We are well equipped to provide a positive and successful experience for you. Above all, we have a long established commitment to teaching and learning by participation and activity. Our staff are well qualified to teach our students, working as they do at the cutting edge of their respective academic disciplines nationally. They also know the value of the personal touch, the importance of knowing their students as individuals, supporting their personal aspirations, understanding their needs and addressing their particular challenges. I hope that, having read this prospectus, you will make the decision to take this journey yourself. Our experience tells us that the University of Chichester is a community in which individuals exceed their own expectations. I hope you will feel that it is right for you and you will decide to join us. Professor Clive Behagg Vice-Chancellor

A world judo champion has praised the University of Chichester for support en route to the top. Ben Quilter became Britain’s first visually impaired judo champion for 12 years while studying for his Masters at the institution. Ben, 28, won gold at the World Judo Championships in Turkey at the end of March 2010, beating Iran’s Eigdar Habiboll in the 60kg weight category. Ben combines his training at the British Judo Performance Institute in Dartford with studying for a masters degree in sport and exercise physiology at our Bishop Otter Campus in Chichester. Ben also completed a three year undergraduate degree with us. He said: “I train at Dartford between four and six hours every day, apart from the one day a week I am at the University. The University, and in particular my lecturers, have always been understanding throughout my time here. They have allowed me the extra time off that I need, extended deadlines and arranged additional tutorials. This allows me to manage my time and balance my training, competition and study without any of them suffering.”

Ben Quilter, World Judo Champion.

After the euphoria of becoming world champion, Ben returned to the UK to train and catch up on his University work while everyone else was on their Easter break. However, his mind quickly turned to preparations for the 2012 Paralympics in London. “I have a number of domestic and international competitions between now and 2012, but I will be ranked number one going into the Paralympics. I also have a European Championships next year and a World Cup at some point before 2012. Generally, it is more of the same hard training and trying to improve technically to give myself the best chance of repeating this success in London.”

We offer 300 stimulating and interesting courses from foundation level through to BA, MA and PhD in a range of subjects from Business, Dance and Theatre, through to Events Management, Musical Theatre, Psychology and Sport Sciences

Sleeping Trees Theatre comprises three young British artists who are studying here at Chichester. They formed in 2008 and create devised theatre that fuses physical performance and dark comedy through the re-interpretation of old forgotten stories, with a modern twist.

Current Work Sleeping Trees are currently creating stories without the use of props, scenery or costume, encouraging the audience to use their imaginations just as you would when reading a book. They look at stories that some people have forgotten about, and attempt to regenerate them by combining tainted memories with current experience. Previous Work The Magical Faraway Tree is a dark and hilarious tale tracking the journey of Dick and his quest to save his ill stricken mother. The piece is a contemporary, strange and perverse adaptation of the novel written by Enid Blyton and was originally devised in November 2008. Great physical performers ‘Great physical performers, they created a series of fantasy scenes which held the audience in their spell throughout the journey’ Cara Sandys, Chortle – 2010

Recreated article from The Sunday Times (University Guide 2011) 12/09/2010

Rachael Tyler Thompson has been a full time artist, working and exhibiting in Dublin, set up her own interior design company and has now embarked on a fine art degree with us. Having grown up in the county of Suffolk, Rachael then moved to Dublin as a full time artist. With a strong and diverse body of work, she held her first solo art exhibition at the Lane Gallery in Dublin, 1995. This was followed by a succession of art exhibitions at the Waldock Gallery in Blackrock, Dublin. In 1996 Rachael followed her long term ambition to become an Interior Designer and began working for a leading interior design company yet still continuing to sell her own innovative artwork. In 2009 Rachael decided to embark on a Fine Art degree at the University of Chichester and create her own company Blank Canvas Designs Ltd and more recently a subsidiary company Happy Faces Art Club. Both deliver professional services that are tailor made for the arts, entertainment and design sector, incorporating Rachael’s talent as an artist. Both are going from strength to strength. Rachael’s plans for the future are to complete her degree and apply for a PGCE course to pursue her ambition of becoming a teacher of art. “Chichester facilities and resources for the Fine Art Degree are excellent and we are lucky to have regular visits from commercial artists visiting artists with national and international profiles that offer us guidance and advice as well as the continuous support of the tutors. The workshops provide students with technical skills and you are encouraged to pursue and nurture your talents as an artist.” Rachael Tyler Thompson

SU President

Students’ Union President Brendan McCarthy explains why Chichester is the right place for him.

Having spent nearly five years at the University, three as a student and two as a Students’ Union officer, I’ve got to know this place pretty well.

The University’s location is superb. Bognor Regis is close to the beach and Chichester is a beautiful historic city with lots of good shops.

I chose to study media studies at the University. Its location was ideal, being far enough from home (Portsmouth) to let my independence grow but close enough to pop back on the odd weekend for a roast dinner and get my washing done.

There is plenty to keep you busy both day and night. Chichester has some great places to eat and lots of pubs with live music and quizzes and though there aren’t many clubs and bars locally, the SU bar has a diverse range of events to keep you occupied, plus you will soon get to know everyone in the SU bar which is a bonus for your social life.

The first thing that strikes you is how friendly everyone is. A friend of mine went to a much larger university where there were four hundred students in a lecture room, making it impossible for her to meet everyone in her class. But here at Chichester, you will rarely come across a lecture room with more than forty students, so it’s really easy to get to know people.

I am pleased to be at Chichester, and I’m having a great time and would recommend it to anyone looking for something different from the hustle and bustle of big city university life. Students’ Union President Brendan McCarthy

I spent my first year living in halls of residence on the Bognor Campus. Though it is the smaller of the two campuses, there was a real community vibe and it felt like you were part of a big family. In my work at the Students’ Union I have helped co-ordinate activities to ensure those who don’t get a place in halls get the same social experience and the most recent of these has had a huge impact on encouraging students to get involved in sports teams, societies and activities so don’t panic too much if you do miss out on a place. The University takes great care in listening to the student voice. As president of the Students’ Union any major changes at the university are run by me first to ensure that it will be the right decision for students. I will ask the students for their opinions on a subject and give their feedback to the University. This is done before any final decisions are made so students can really influence the direction of the University.

Committed to your learning

We pride ourself on the quality of the teaching given to our students. Innovation, enthusiasm and expertise combine to deliver the excellent standards that give our institution its high reputation in this field.

We are committed to learning and teaching, and our team of principal lecturers ensure the techniques and technology used at Chichester position us as a leading authority in these activities. Independent Learning Central learning facilities are available to complement and support the learning activity you will experience in your taught modules, and will help to foster your confidence in learning independently and managing and presenting information – skills that will be of lasting benefit beyond your time at the University of Chichester. Assessment and Examinations You will be assessed in a variety of methods, including essays, examinations, exhibitions, performance/practical work, project work, presentations and seminar discussions. Most courses will include a mix, so that you will be assessed on different types of work. Modules are assessed at every stage of the course, offering cumulative assessment of your progress. You can monitor your own progress, allowing you the opportunity to discuss any issues with your tutors throughout the course. Special arrangements can be made for students with an identified need. For more information refer to the Disability and Dyslexia Service section on page 29. Student learning at the centre … “It has been a delight to work with staff and students from across the University on a technology-enhanced project funded through the Higher Education Academy. A new virtual learning environment has been designed to enhance student learning. This has been a most successful collaborative project, where supporting student learning has been at the centre of this development work.” Professor Brenda Smith, Higher Education Academy.

Dr Duncan Reavey

National Teaching Fellow “The best learning happens when our students want to learn. I see my job as providing challenges that capture the imagination of my students. We challenge our students to do things they feel are impossible – and when they succeed, they learn they can do the impossible time and time again.”

Ian Worden

Media Studies “We like to make learning exciting and innovative at Chichester. We are constantly looking to find new ways to convey our enthusiasm as lecturers onto our students. We also recognise that they are individuals and learn in different ways, so we have to be adaptable and have a range of methods to give our students the best possible learning experience.”

Bev Hale

Sports Science “What we teach young people and what they learn is what shapes the future of the country. We owe it to those people to give them the best experiences they can possibly have. Nearly all of our members of staff are involved in teaching, not just researching and being active in their field. Therefore, our students get a good deal because what they are learning is as current as can be.”

Human beatboxer Dominic McMahon came to Chichester to study Music and Music Technology with the aim of being a music producer. Showing his beatboxing skills, to fellow students and lecturers, they really embraced it and encouraged him to take it further. As a one of our music students he was looking to expand his horizons listening to music normally outside of his comfort zone such as classical and jazz. This has given him the chance to collaborate with other musicians from different backgrounds and improvise, incorporating more diverse musical elements into beatbox producing something fresh and unique. He is currently working on a Beatbox concerto with lecturer, pianist and composer Adam Swayne. The concerto is going to be for an orchestra ensemble and has only ever been done once by famous composer Anna Meredith and Beatboxer Shlomo.

Our fees and bursaries

Our fees and bursaries In line with guidance from the Office for Fair Access, we will be publishing our fees and bursary information later in 2011. Please check www.chi.ac.uk for the latest information.

Money matters

As you know the Student Finance system is changing. At the time of printing we, like all universities, are unable to provide you with information on our fees and bursary packages.

Changes to Student Finance from 2012 entry This information below provides a summary of the statements that have been published by the Government and by the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) to date. Tuition Fees For new students starting a course from September 2012 a minimum fee of £6,000 can be levied by universities. Universities will be expected to include activities such as outreach initiatives to attract those from disadvantaged backgrounds and targeted scholarships and financial support for poorer students. A new national scholarship programme targeted at bright potential students from poorer backgrounds is being launched. It will guarantee students benefits such as to be 'match funded' by the university. Further information on how the national scholarship programme will run, how it will be funded and the full obligations on universities is still awaited. The Office for Fair Access, (OFFA) will publish guidance on the requirements for Access agreements in mid-February, and universities will be expected to submit their new agreements for scrutiny and approval by OFFA by 31st March 2011. Loans and Grants Students with household income of £25,000 or less will receive a grant of £3,250 (compared to the current £2,906). Those with a household income of between £25,001 and £42,000 will receive a partial grant (the current household income limit at which a grant is payable is £50,020).

Part-Time students studying at least 25% intensity can access loans, but no grants will be available (currently limited grants available but no loans) Loan rates have yet to be announced but the suggestion is that they will increase from their current level for those with household income between £0 - £49,000 and those above £53,000. Current rates (2011/12) are £4,950 for those with household income up to £50,778 and £3,564 where household income is above £57,700. There is currently a reduction in loan entitlement of approx. 50p in the pound for those in receipt of a maintenance grant. Repayment For earnings up to £21,000 nothing is repaid. Between £21,000 and £41,000 9% of salary above £21,000 is repaid at a sliding interest rate between RPI and RPI plus 3%. For those earning more than £41,000 the interest charged will be RPI plus 3%. The government is looking at early settlement charges to prevent higher earners paying off loans early. Currently loans are only increased by RPI each year with no penalty for early repayment.

Our fees and bursaries

European Union (EU) Students EU students may apply for a tuition fee loan (to pay their tuition fees). EU students should make an application to the EU team at Student Finance England. If you are an EU student who is working in the UK whilst studying you may be eligible to be classed as an EEA migrant worker, which means you can apply for the full Student Finance England funding package of loans, grant and bursary. International Students (Non-EU) All students who are normally resident outside the EU are not eligible to apply for a tuition fee loan, a higher education maintenance loan or a maintenance grant. International students have full responsibility for paying the fees and living costs themselves. International students are not eligible for a Chichester bursary. ............................................

Chichester and the local area

Chichester and the local area West Sussex is a perfect combination of countryside and coast, bustling cities and quiet country villages. The perfect environment for inspiration and creativity to thrive.

The natural environment provides an ideal playground for activities on the south downs, in our towns and cities and on the shores and waters of the English Channel. The area also plays host to events that draw an international audience.

Chichester and the local area

Local area West Sussex West Sussex is the perfect location for anyone wanting to live on the coast as it is an important sailing and water sports centre. You will be surrounded by beautiful countryside and traditional villages. Both Chichester and Bognor Regis are set in the stunning county of West Sussex, on England’s south coast – officially the country’s sunniest region, achieving around 1,855 hours of sunshine each year, which is an average of nearly five hours a day! Transport Links The transport links to both Bognor Regis and Chichester are good by road and rail. There is a mainline station in the centre of each town, as well as bus stations, both within easy walking distance of each campus. Local taxi firms offer students reasonable rates for short trips. London is just 90 minutes direct by train and you can enjoy the more varied nightlife on offer at nearby Portsmouth and Brighton. There are two major international airports within easy reach of the University (Gatwick and Heathrow) and ferries to the Isle of Wight and France virtually on your doorstep.

Things to do The South Downs National Park is close by so there will be plenty of outdoor activities on offer, from walking and horse riding to exploring cycling routes. You’ll never be lost for something to do: from ambling around the shops and designer boutiques and visiting stylish restaurants, organic cafes, gastro pubs and historical towns to strolling around quirky market stalls and enjoying a frothy cappuccino in one of the bustling pavement cafes. If you are interested in new drama and old favourites, the acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre, one of the UK’s flagship theatres, hosts a range of dazzling productions throughout the year. There is an eclectic programme of music and arts on offer at concerts and festivals in the summer such as The Chichester Festivities in June and July which includes theatre, dance, film and art exhibitions and the internationally renowned Goodwood Revival and the Festival of Speed. Places to Visit: • Pallant House • Chichester Festival Theatre • Arundel Castle • Fontwell Racecourse • Goodwood Estate • Weald and Downland Museum Special Events • June/July: Chichester Festivities • July: Goodwood Festival of Speed • August: Rox Festival, Bognor Regis • September: Goodwood Revival • November: National Open Art Competition

Bognor Regis The Bognor Regis campus is literally a 10 minute walk from the sea. It is officially the sunshine capital of the UK. It is also hailed as ‘the jewel in the south coast’ for its long stretches of coastline and sandy with pebble beaches. You’ll find all the traditional seaside cafés and amusements here as well as a thriving choice of continental cuisine and high street shops along with bars, restaurants and three nightclubs for partying into the early hours. During the summer there is a variety of events in the town, from the colourful International Clowns Convention to the creative sculptures in The Sands of Time right through to the ever popular Rox Music & Arts Festival which attracts performers from all over the world.

Chichester and the local area

ipsum ChichesterLorem and the localdolor area

Chichester Bishop Otter Campus is a short walk from the town centre. The City of Chichester is a great place if you fancy spending your university days in an historic yet vibrant cathedral city. It is a picturesque city which has developed around its unique Tudor market cross with four main shopping streets providing a variety of restaurants, pubs and retail therapy. The city is influenced by the arts and has a number of galleries including Pallant House, museums and the acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre. Chichester Gate is home to a multiplex 10-screen cinema showing all the latest box office films, a bowling complex and a number of bars and eateries. There is a smaller independent film theatre, New Park Cinema, which is known for its arthouse film screenings. With its rich mix of traditional pubs and modern bars you can spend your time in, or with the beautiful south downs national park close by, you really do have the countryside on your doorstep.

Instrumental or Vocal Teaching (Minor Route) Minor subjects allow you to follow a second subject alongside your major subject (75%) according to your interests or career orientation. Minor subjects contribute 25% of the course content and grades for the total degree. Course Information This route can be combined with music (see page 82) or can be combined with another degree route where you will also be an advanced instrumentalist or singer. Indicative Route Content • Technique for the Young Performer Good technical advice is especially important for beginners, particularly the young player or singer. Whilst you can expect to teach a few adult learners as part of your work, the majority of your future pupils will be children. • Repertoire for the Young Performer For a student teacher, providing a bridge between your own repertoire and more current, popular culture is important if children are to be engaged and encouraged to progress to more rewarding levels of skill. • Grades and Development This module will examine the core skills – practice technique, sight-reading, aural tests etc to achieve higher levels of performance ability and musicianship. • Self-Employment Marketing and Promotion Tuition and advice designed to help graduates market themselves as trained professionals and to recruit a viable practice of students is central to this course, as is advice on peripheral issues such as tax returns and selfemployment. • One-to-One and Group Teaching These modules focus on both individual and group teaching, allowing you to gain useful first hand experience with the support of tutors.

Performing Arts

(BA Hons) (Theatre Performance), (Theatre Performance and Dance) (Theatre Performance and Music)

Course Information Are you driven by a passion to create innovative theatre? Are you a performer who wishes to challenge expectations? Are you a team player capable of producing innovative, dynamic and engaging work? Can you rise to the challenge of being the future of British theatre? Performing Arts (Theatre Performance) is an established course, designed for students who see their own processes of creating original theatre as a dynamic and empowering starting point for a career as a theatre maker. Performing Arts offers two additional selfcontained routes, Theatre Performance and Dance and Theatre Performance and Music, which adopt the core of the Theatre Performance route, but for students with specialist interests in either (contemporary) music or dance. The three different routes are designed to emphasise our commitment to theatre as a cross disciplinary process and to empower musicians/singers, dancers, actors and theatre makers, who have a particular interest in composition, to come together in the spirit of exploration. Of primary importance, for all students taking Performing Arts, is the notion of artist as an engaged communicator, prepared to take responsibility for the creative process and the implications of performance. The focus, therefore, is on new work, with a curriculum emphasising group and teamwork, within a vocational context that prepares you for a career as a creative artist. With this in mind, you will have the opportunity to explore performance in a variety of contexts and settings, using a wide range of theatrical and non-theatrical environments.

Indicative Course Content There are four groups of modules contributing to a focused and holistic training in theatre making. Dance and Music students will be encouraged to use their particular specialism alongside – and as an integral part of – generic theatre work: • Critical and Contextual Studies: giving academic foundation to the processes of making theatre • Skills Development: training and awareness of skills for making and performing theatre • Production and Specialist Studies: performance projects that can inspire and challenge you towards making innovative theatre • Professional Development: providing insight into theatre making in an applied and vocational context Theatre Performance Route If you are on the Theatre Performance route, you will have further classes in acting and devising, as well as writing for performance. A central focus of the route is two major productions at level two that will gear you towards major performance work in your final year. Theatre Performance and Dance Route If you choose the Theatre and Dance route, you will have dedicated classes in performance technique, improvisation and choreography; one of the level two productions will be supplanted with a Dance Theatre production. Theatre Performance and Music Route Within the Theatre and Music route, you will have dedicated classes in performance technique (voice or/and your chosen instrument), improvisation and composition; one of the level two productions will be supplanted with a theatre production that emphasises music.

Why this Course? • Create new theatre in a dynamic ‘theatre city’ • Work in newly-built, state-of-the-art theatre and studios, equipped with the latest technology • Work with highly motivated, dedicated professional staff • Challenge the cultural and social understanding of the world we live in through performance practice • Elect modules that drive towards clear vocational outcomes as practising theatre makers • Develop skills in music or dance alongside theatre performance Careers • Performance practitioners (actors, dancers, musicians, directors, writers, designers, members of theatre collectives) • Theatre workers • Community arts workers • Education • Postgraduate study Student view “The BA Hons in Performing Arts has taught me the value of contemporary theatre, and has been the most challenging and enjoyable three years of my life so far.” Graeme Kelly, Performing Arts Ranked No1 “The University with the most satisfied Dance and Performing Arts students in the country.

SEMAL (School of Enterprise, Management and Leadership) BA (Hons) undergraduate degree programmes Our School of Enterprise, Management and Leadership offers you a wide range of undergraduate honours degree programmes in business and management related subject areas.

This approach contrasts markedly with most universities where a significant element of their teaching takes place through a more traditional lecture environment. Such a format normally involves large group lectures, often with well in excess of 100 students being lectured to by a tutor.

Honours degrees can be studied in: • Accounting and Finance • Business Studies • Events Management • Human Resource Management • IT Management for Business • Marketing • Tourism Management Please see subject specific courses pages starting on page 96 for further information.

Our approach encourages students to be proactive and offers an environment that is well suited to enabling students to share their thinking and explore different ideas.

In addition, it is possible to undertake a joint honours route across areas within the School’s degree portfolio (e.g. BA (Hons) Events Management and Marketing). Whilst the scope of honours programmes available within the school offers you a wide choice of specialist subject areas, all of our degree routes share a number of common features. Central to our provision is the focus on the student learning experience. This is reflected in our approach to learning, assessment and work-based opportunities. Our workshop approach to learning We believe that in a University environment a ‘hands-on’, interactive and participative approach to learning with modest group sizes is the most effective way to learn and develop the types of skills that employers look for in graduates. Our business and management focused degree routes concentrate primarily on working with our students in a small group workshop environment. In practice this means that when studying a module with us there will usually be a weekly workshop of approximately 2.5 to 3 hours that will be facilitated by one of the tutors. Group sizes will typically be about 20-25 students. At the end of the workshop students are normally tasked to undertake intersession work that then feeds into the next workshop.

Our approach to assessment Our approach to assessment reflects our aim of preparing students for the world of work. We adopt a wide range of imaginative and innovative assessment strategies, delivered at an appropriate level, as you progress through your programme. Typically the subject based assessments are designed to enable you to demonstrate the skills and techniques that reflect how these techniques would be applied in the world of work. Our courses adopt a range of assessment styles that include: presentations; report writing; client based project work; time limited assessment; group work; essays; reflective learning logs etc. Most modules will include more than one assessment type. In addition to the business and management subject related assessments there will also be assessment tasks that are specifically designed to enable you to focus and reflect upon your own personal development. Work-based opportunities Across our degree programmes there is a range of work-based opportunities available. These can vary between courses to reflect the context of a specific programme, but the following are representative of the type of engagement that as one of our students you will be involved with: • Client based final year management projects • 48-week work placements (if taking one of our four year professional placement degree routes) • 10-week work placements • Events management provision • Client IT systems development projects

The programme strikes a balance between the academic context for events, and an appreciation of the applied operational elements of event management. There is a ‘hands-on’ approach to learning and teaching, via direct engagement with the event industry. In doing so, the programme takes advantage of the enviable opportunities presented by the scale, wealth and diversity of events in the local and regional area including the Chichester Festivities, Arundel Festival, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival. Specific elements of the teaching programme are delivered by event management professionals and a parallel event volunteering programme, run in conjunction with local event providers, also provides students with an opportunity to gain first hand experience of event management.

Human Resource Management (BA Hons) Course Information The effective management and development of staff is a key component of business strategy in an ever changing economic environment. The view that an organisation’s people are its most important asset has perhaps never been more true than it is today where leading edge knowledge and skills can be the key to competitive advantage. Today’s enterprises need to be able to call on highly qualified employees to be flexible and responsive to change whilst maintaining their motivation and loyalty. On this course you will be able to learn about and experiment with the full range of well established and modern approaches to the challenges of people management and development. Our approach to Human Resource Management is designed to provide a supportive setting in which students can develop holistic skills that will enable them to flourish in a changing business environment.

The first year of the programme ensures that you will have a solid foundation in business subjects, for example finance, marketing and management before specialising in Human Resource Management in years 2 and 3. The programme is quite flexible in that you might, for example, decide after the first year that you want to focus on another business subject (e.g. Marketing or Finance). This is a choice that would be available to you. Core Subjects include: • Human Resource Management • Employee Development • Employee Relations • Research Methods • Leadership • Human Resource Strategy • Current Human Resource Issues Option Subjects include: • Marketing Management • Small Business Enterprise • Finance for Business • Website Design • Operations Management

Why this Course? • A supportive, group learning environment • A practical, vocational and critical focus to the study of Human Resource Management • The course prepares you for progression to a professional career and post graduate study to become a full member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development • The course is a good foundation for more specialised study at post graduate level that opens up opportunities to pursue related careers (see Careers) • Concentration on the role of Human Resource Management as a core strategic business activity • Emphasis on the development of skills in problem-solving, analysis, self-management and interpersonal skills • Part time study routes available

Psychology

(BSc Hons)

* BPS Accredited

Course Information Psychology is the scientific study of experience and behaviour – why we act the way we do, how we interact with other people and the emotional significance we attach to this. Psychological studies have gained increasing importance across a wide range of activities, including human resources, education, sport, social care and the creative industries. The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society.

In addition, you will be introduced to different perspectives on psychology in level 1, and take skills modules to help you learn about and study psychology. In level 3 you will undertake a research investigation into a particular aspect of psychology, leading to a dissertation and poster presentation of your findings. A project management and presentation skills module will introduce you to skills relevant to conducting your investigation and that are also useful in future employment.

Indicative Course Content Phase 1 This programme is based upon the requirements of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and will enable you to gain a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and of the complex interactions between those. The programme is designed to take you from an analysis of everyday experience and attendant important feelings and behaviours in level 1, through core discipline knowledge of theory and empirical findings relevant to those behaviours and others in level 2, to an appreciation and understanding of contexts in which psychology can be applied, and professional psychologists work in level 3. Practical investigations and experiments are used as a foundation for understanding and explanation, and both quantitative and qualitative research methods are introduced and developed.

Modules on working life and health/lifestyle contexts within which many professional psychologists work are presented in level 3. There will also be opportunities for you to select optional modules relevant to a range of disciplines depending on availability, for example sports, business, marketing, education, and the creative arts.

Core discipline knowledge in level 2 covers: • Cognitive psychology • Developmental psychology • Individual differences • Social psychology • Biological psychology

Why this Course? • A practical focus to the application of psychology to real world situations • The opportunity to undertake your own research in an area of interest to you in Year 3 • Staff with experience in a range of disciplines who are highly qualified and enthusiastic about their work • A supportive learning environment A first degree in psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society provides a foundation for you to progress to specialist areas of psychology, and subsequent status as a chartered psychologist. There are currently 10 professional divisions within the BPS, including occupational psychology clinical psychology, educational psychology, sport and exercise psychology. Whilst nationally, less than one psychology graduate in every five ultimately takes up work as a professional psychologist, psychology provides a good insight into human behaviour that equips graduates with the skills that enable them to work in a wide range of fields.

Careers You will initially study at an introductory level, and thus it is not a requirement to have studied psychology at ‘A’ level.’ As well as providing a sound basis for work as a professional psychologist, a psychology degree at the University of Chichester would facilitate entry into the following careers: • Industry • Media • Teaching • Work with children, adults and families • IT • Computing • Marketing • Civil Service British Psychological Society (BPS) This programme is based upon the requirements of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and will enable you to gain a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour and experience, and of the complex interactions between those. The course is accredited by the (BPS).

Adventure Education (BA Hons) Course Information The adventure environment is both complex and dynamic. Whether it is the focus of individual employment, management development or one of a whole host of other purposes that recognise its value, it must be carefully constructed. If you are one of the increasing number of individuals who enjoy adventurous activities, you will probably have wondered why you are attracted to them. Maybe you are the type of ‘sensation seeker’ that enjoys the ‘risk’ that is central to adventurous activities, carefully challenging your personal competence against the perceived dangers in pursuits such as rock climbing, sailing, canoeing, mountain biking or windsurfing. Whilst this degree will prepare you for a career in the rapidly growing field of adventure education it also provides an opportunity for students who simply wish to further their understanding of adventure education and related subject areas in an applied context.

Consideration will be given to aspects such as leadership, facilitation, decisionmaking and problem-solving.

Sport Science and Medicine Services

Sport Science and Medicine Services Sport Science and Medicine at the University of Chichester has an established tradition of providing support to GB national squads – including to the Amateur Boxing Association, GB Cycling, and Table Tennis in the past.

As the Human Performance and Rehabilitation Unit (HPRU) in the Chichester Centre of Applied Sport and Exercise Science (CCASES), we currently provide support to the Royal Yachting Association, and staff members are active consultants with other governing bodies and organisations such as Archery GB and Paralympics GB. We have a team of 16 consultants – many of whom are BASES Accredited, BPS Chartered, or hold another specialist qualification - in Sport Psychology, Sport Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, and Sports Therapy. We also have Coaching Science specialists who are experienced coach educators, and have been involved in course delivery for governing bodies at regional and national level. We are also involved in a programme of applied research – and seek to integrate our research into our work with clients where appropriate, ensuring that we are at the cutting edge in both service delivery, and in contributing to the knowledge base to support sustained World Class performance in sport in the UK. Further detail on the range of our services is provided below. CCASES has state-of-the-art sport science facilities, including two biomechanics laboratories, four physiology laboratories, two sport psychology laboratories and two sports injury clinics. Additionally, there is a fitness suite and strength and conditioning room. Sport Psychology How we think and feel has a major impact on how we perform as athletes. Sport Psychologists at CCASES will work with you to identify how you can change what you think and feel to develop a winning mindset that will impact positively on your performance. We offer group sessions to clubs, teams and organisations, and support on an individual basis. In each instance, we assess what you need (as an individual or group), and design and deliver bespoke packages of support that dovetail with other elements of your training programme. Sport Psychologists at CCASES are highly experienced at delivering support to elite and sub-elite athletes, and are accredited by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences and/or hold Chartered status with the British Psychological Society.

Sports Biomechanics Sports Biomechanics sits in an area that can aid athletes, teams and coaches in performance enhancement, and injury prevention. We mainly deal with technique analysis, adaptation, assessment, and rehabilitation. We also have some roots in the fields of ergonomics and engineering, and have been involved with the design and collection of empirical data for new designs of sports equipment. Our consultancies are performed in the biomechanics laboratory here at CCASES. Exercise Physiology Physical activity is based upon the success of an individual to meet one key challenge, that is, the ability to match energy demand with energy supply. Energy systems within the human body are the same. However, the ability to increase the rate or capacity of such systems through training distinguishes between recreation and elite performers. We offer testing procedures that provide an insight into the limitations of such systems, forming the basis for future training. For those individuals competing in extreme environments, such as hot / cold or at altitude, an understanding of the specific physiological challenge is required and the development of a strategy to overcome such conditions. Exercise physiologists at CCASES are highly experienced at delivering sport science support across a range of activities and providing support to those individuals competing in hostile environments around the globe. The Human Performance Laboratories and staff are accredited by the British Association of Sport & Exercise Sciences.

The Mathematics Centre The Mathematics Centre is based at the Bognor Regis Campus. It is a nationally and internationally renowned research, development and consultancy centre. The Mathematics Centre’s main aims are to: • Increase confidence in the mathematical capabilities of pupils, students, teachers and users (of mathematics); • Promote and support an approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics which emphasises the importance of independent thinking, challenge, discussion, problem solving; • Provide a centre for the professional development for all those involved in mathematics education and contribute towards the development of networks of practitioners; • Provide a focal point for new and ongoing curriculum development and research in mathematics education to ensure its continuing relevance and effectiveness, particularly with reference to the role and use of new technologies; • Establish and promote collaboration between industry, commerce and education to meet the aims of the government’s STEM agenda; • To promote a better understanding by the public at large and parents in particular of the nature and benefits of effective mathematics education. Many University of Chichester alumni, having completed their initial teacher education, become involved in the Centre’s projects and courses, with a healthy proportion proceeding onto the MA (Mathematics Education) programme at some time during their teaching careers.

Focal Point The Centre operates as a focal point (both virtual and physical) for local authorities, schools and individual colleagues as a place of constant support within a mathematics education community which can appear to be rapidly changing. It is able to respond to initiatives objectively and its clear mission allows it to support those with whom it collaborates to adopt a similar approach. Consequently the Centre has a welldeveloped set of tools to support the review of programmes of educational change by practitioners, with a view to supporting the systematic evaluation at classroom, school and local authority level. A significant element of our work has involved senior leaders to enable such approaches to be embedded in practice. Our staff work with and advise agencies such as Local Authorities, NCETM, TDA, BECTa and the mathematics’ subject associations as well as working closely with schools on a range of school-based projects designed to improve learning, teaching and management of mathematics.

Recent projects • Lead role in the EU Comenius funded project EdUmatics with nineteen European partners to develop teachers’ classroom uses of technology in secondary mathematics • European research evaluation of TI Nspire Navigator wireless handheld technology in secondary classrooms • Development of a range of mathematics programmes for Teachers’ TV and the BBC

• Using flexible learning approaches for the continuing professional development of teachers leading to a Master’s Degree in Mathematics Education • Local Authority projects concerned with integrating new curricula, formative assessment, 14-19 mathematics and transition issues • Consultancy and professional development workshops for international organisations such as the Aga Khan Academies Unit and AIMGSEC Find out more Tel: +44 (0)1243 812078 Fax: +44 (0)1243 812062 Email: maths@chi.ac.uk University of Chichester Bognor Regis Campus, Upper Bognor Road, Bognor Regis, West Sussex PO21 1HR

By studying with us, you’ll be among a diverse group of international students who have chosen to come to the University of Chichester because of our teaching reputation, the range of courses we offer, the support we provide our students in a friendly, safe environment, our size, and great location. We are a community of learning, experienced in delivering higher education since 1839. We take great pride in the rich learning experience we offer our students, which is why we have been ranked as the best modern university in the UK in two categories: satisfaction with teaching and overall student satisfaction. The Guardian University Guide 2011. As an international student here you will receive: • A special language and academic support package, (see ALS Support); • The possibility to begin a three-year degree programme at IELTS 5.5, (minimum); • A caring, secure and personal environment; • High standards of tuition and support; • Stimulating and innovative teaching and learning; • Small class sizes; • Attractive campuses with excellent facilities; • A south coast location with easy transport links to London and Europe.

In the past three years we have worked with students from the following countries: • France • Libya • Japan • Germany • Czech Rep. • China (incl. Hong Kong) • Denmark • Brazil • Taiwan • Poland • Belgium • Spain • Lithuania • Thailand • Croatia • Latvia • India • Greece • Russia • Egypt • Hungary • Sweden • Italy • Estonia • Korea • Saudi Arabia • Turkey • Nepal • Czech Republic • Slovakia • UK • Bulgaria • Norway • Dubai • Finland • Malaysia • Afghanistan • Luxemburg • Netherlands

International programmes

How does the University support its international students? Studying in another country is an exciting and overwhelmingly positive experience for most students. However it does require some readjustment, which is why we ensure that you will receive additional support before and during your programme so that studying in the UK is a happy, stress-free and successful experience for you. Our welfare support package for international students includes: • Help with application procedures; • Visa/entry clearance advice; • Pre-arrival information; • Help with finding suitable accommodation; • Advice on financial issues; • Welfare support throughout your studies; • A range of social and cultural activities. We also offer International Academic and Language Support (IALS). The package is available to all international students for whom English is not the main working language at no extra charge. It entitles you to: • Tutorial support, with a University tutor who has personal experience of living/working in another language & culture, (up to 3 hours per student per semester), to help you improve your academic English and other academic skills, and to help you plan, carry out and check your coursework; • On-going support with the improvement of your English skills including resources and ideas to help you plan your own development; • Weekly classes in English language studies, (for students with IELTS scores under 6.0 these classes must be taken as part of their BA programme in International English Studies); • A language profiling service so that you, (and your department(s)), may be advised on your best options for language support; • Additional time and the use of bilingual dictionaries in seen examinations; • A point of reference if you need advice or are not sure where to turn; • On-going contact and social opportunities with other international students.

What qualiﬁcations do I need to begin a degree at Chichester? Undergraduate programmes admissions criteria: • A recognised relevant Foundation/Access Course OR • High School Diploma (to age 18) where it is deemed equivalent to A Levels OR • An International Baccalaureate (26 points) OR • EDEXCEL (BTEC) National Diploma AND • IELTS 6.0 (or equivalent) OR • IELTS 5.5 (or equivalent) for Joint/Minor/Embedded degrees which include International English Studies (IES) International students can apply for any full time degree in this prospectus.

You will then be able to change to an Embedded Route at the end of your first year of studies.

What IELTS level do I need to begin a degree programme? If you have an IELTS score of 6.0 or above, (or equivalent), you can apply for most undergraduate programmes in this prospectus. Please note, though, that if English is not your first language, it will often be recommended that you combine your subject choice with International English Studies, (IES) Joint or Minor.

Postgraduate Research

In addition to our undergraduate and taught programmes we also offer postgraduate research programmes in a number of areas.

Undertaking a programme of postgraduate research provides students with a great opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills in a subject area which they are passionate about. Together with an experienced supervisory team they can define their own programme of study as well as develop generic and transferable skills that equip them for future careers in research and beyond. The quality of our research, the majority rated in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008 as being ‘internationally recognised or internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour’ has led to it being lauded as one of only a handful of ‘rising stars’ due its significant rise up the league tables published by the Times Higher. We welcome postgraduate students in the following areas of study: • Sports Sciences, Physical Education and Sports-Related Studies • English Language, Literature and Creative Writing • Theology • History • Dance and Performing Arts • Social Policy We offer a number of bursaries to postgraduate students and details can be provided by the Research and Employer Engagement Office. pgrsupport@chi.ac.uk Research staff The majority of our staff are involved in research and scholarship in order to underpin the high quality teaching of our courses.

Application process – UCAS and GTTR The UCAS / GTTR institution code name for the University is CHICH. The UCAS / GTTR institution code number is C58. You will need to use these codes when submitting an application via UCAS or GTTR. An administration charge of £22* is required if you are applying to more than one institution via UCAS. For applicants wishing to apply to one institution only, a reduced fee applies £11. The GTTR charges £19 to apply. When do I apply? Ideally, you should apply via UCAS between 30 September and 15 January. Late applications (between 15 January until the end of June) should still be submitted in the same way. However, late applications may or may not be considered, depending if there are still vacancies on the course. Please ensure that you allow time before the deadline for an academic reference to be completed by your referee. Applications to the PGCE are considered on a sequential basis (i.e. by one institution at a time). Therefore, applicants must carefully check the entry requirements for their first choice institution before sending their GTTR application form. All PGCE applications are considered in the order that they are received from the GTTR. The closing date for PGCE primary teaching applications is 1st December. Primary PGCE applications received after this deadline may be considered if there are still vacancies available. There is no closing date for secondary teaching applications. If there are no vacancies left on a course, however, it will be closed via the GTTR. Can I apply for deferred entry in 2013 now? Yes, however, we do not accept deferred applications for PGCE courses. When will I hear from the University? We aim to respond to you within a month of the University receiving your completed application from UCAS. Please check UCAS / GTTR Track to monitor the progress of your application or contact the Admissions Office. For oversubscribed courses we may not issue offers until all on-line applications have been received and considered.

Interviews Will I be called for interview/audition? Practice varies from course to course. For some courses, such as teacher training, social work, counselling, childhood studies: early years, dance, fine art, music, musical theatre and performing arts, applicants who have made a good application and meet the relevant admissions criteria are called for interview/audition. For other courses, a decision will be based on the application form. If your application is successful (without an interview), you will normally be invited to attend a post application admissions day, so you will have the opportunity to see the campus and meet tutors and support staff. We strongly recommend you visit the universities you are thinking of studying at, in order to help you make the right choice for you. Teacher education interviews The interview is designed to assess the applicant’s suitability for the teaching profession, as well as academic ability. All applicants will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of professional requirements and an awareness of current educational issues. To fulfill this requirement, you will need to have spent at the very least of two weeks observing/helping out in a UK state school within the last two years before you apply. Social work interviews The interview is designed to assess the applicant’s suitability for the social work profession. It is expected that most, but not all, students will have significant experience of a statutory care agency or voluntary/private organisation providing a social work or social care service. Creative arts Dance, music, musical theatre and performing arts interviews/auditions candidates may be asked to prepare a set piece in advance and asked to perform the piece in front of a group. Fine Art applicants will be required to provide a portfolio of work.

Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) – Enhanced Disclosure Successful applicants to courses which involve contact with children or vulnerable adults are required, prior to the start of the course, to obtain at their own cost, a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). We do not currently accept CRB Enhanced Disclosures gained in the name of a different registered body. We reserves the right to refuse admission / terminate the registration of any applicant / student whose CRB check proves to be unsatisfactory. If you have not initiated the CRB application process prior to the start of term you will not be able to register on the course, which will impact upon your access to funding. We have numerous opportunities for applicants to provide proof of identity which is needed to start the process. For further information please contact the admissions office. Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) At the time of writing the ISA may or may not continue. If it does continue, applicants may also have to register with the Independent Safeguarding Authority prior to being accepted onto a course which involves contact with children or vulnerable adults. Many applicants may be ISA registered before they apply to the University. For further information please contact the admissions office, or visit ISA website www.isa-gov.org.uk Occupational health declaration (teacher education, counselling and social work) In accordance with the regulations for the training of teachers, counsellors and social workers, all successful applicants are required to have their mental and physical health checked by occupational health professionals, before beginning their studies. Failure to complete a medical questionnaire will result in withdrawal of the student’s place.

European and international exchanges

Taking part in an exchange can be a great learning experience and allows you to discover another country, grow in confidence and meet new friends from all corners of the globe.

We run a number of exchanges with partner universities around the world, giving you the opportunity to spend part of your degree (normally one semester or one year) studying at a university abroad. Whilst abroad, you follow courses at your host institution which are recognised by Chichester. Erasmus We are part of the European Union’s Erasmus programme, which enables you to go on study exchanges and work placements with partner universities and businesses in other European countries. The programme encourages cooperation between European universities and helps participating students by giving them a grant to help fund their time abroad. ............................................
