AIBS 07/10 / Cert HE / Charity and Social Enterprise Management /
  • Proposal of additional delivery site – Cambridge
  • The proposal is a Higher Skills@Work initiative
  • The pathway is being marketed across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, for practical reasons Cambridge will provide a more suitable venue for the initial cohort
  • The Cambridge delivery site will benefit recruitment and the student experience
  • This is a new pathway so no transitional arrangements are required
  • With effect from March 2011
/ Approved
AIBS 08/10 / BA (Hons) / Corporate Management /
  • Reinstatement for franchise delivery only at Kolej PTPL Penang, KBUInternationalCollege, and the School of Accounting and Management
  • In the 2010 AIBS Undergraduate Review the pathway was archived due to low recruitment but allowed to continue for the one student registered on the pathway at Chelmsford, the pathway was slightly amended at the Curriculum Review
  • Although the pathway has been unattractive at core AngliaRuskinUniversity it remains attractive at three international partners who are currently delivering the pathway on the old curriculum structure but wish to deliver the pathway under the new curriculum arrangements
  • Transitional arrangements have already been made for existing students
  • With effect from September 2011
/ Approved
