faculty members & program coordinator The discussions in comparing the diploma and degree programs

with all courses of University of Greenwich in year 1 and year 2 were made in order to outline the skills

and knowledge that students need to be fulfilled

After reviewing and analyzing program the gap through Academic Performance of graduates from

Vietnam’s colleges and universities, we have divided different majors into 3 distinct groups as below:

a Relevant Advanced Diploma level qualifications - no need for a Bridging programme - go

direct to the top-up degree Of course, this is on the assumption that students reach English

language thresholds if their qualifications are not English language medium of instruction

b Lower level - e.g Diploma - relevant qualifications Need the Bridging programme to reach

an appropriate academic level for entry to the top-up degree

c Advanced Diploma level qualifications - in non-Business areas Need the Bridging

programme to provide the necessary subject knowledge and skills for entry to the top-up

degree

Group (b) will need to take the following bridging courses:

4 ENTR401 Basics of Business Plan Development 15

Group (c) are expected to study the seven following courses to bridge this gap:

6 ENTR 401 Basics of Business Plan Development 15

Different entry points or programmes of study for different entry qualifications are included in the

Appendix Page 57

There are 30 contact hours per module Based on the Academic Performance Results, if one has already

studied any above-mentioned subjects (category they are divided), they are exempted from studying that

one Gap analysis process was conducted by comparing the program of UOG in year 1 and year 2 with the

learning outcomes of graduates and determined how many subjects they have not studied in order to

categorize them

Trang 3

It is recommended that the approval of a bridging program through which qualifying graduates of different colleges can develop the additional skills and knowledge to confidently enter the third year of top-up BABM program The pathway is a valuable opportunity for diploma/degree graduates to earn a

BA qualification of Business Management that can enhance their professional future Bridge applicants must submit a learning result form Only those whose results meet above-mentioned requirements are entitled to enter the third year of BABM program The bridging program then supplements the students’ theoretical and applied skills so that students understand and integrate the principles of management into higher education It further develops their research and other management skills too

(i.e authors, scholars) Indeed, you are encouraged to research widely and develop research skills However, you must say where ideas, information, arguments, diagrams or other theoretical models come from, regardless of whether you are quoting directly, paraphrasing or simply mentioning or using data from that source To do otherwise amounts to plagiarism and is a serious academic offence

Plagiarism goes further than the failure to acknowledge quotations, paraphrases or information from published sources – it also includes copying

or using other students work and downloading material from the internet and passing it off as your own

Any cases of plagiarism, cheating or copying, will result in a zero mark for the piece off assessment, failure of the whole unit orr exclusion from the course

Copyright Copyright is different from plagiarism Plagiarism is the use of another
