A Distinguished HWU Graduate - Adam Crozier

Adam Crozier, a 1984 BA Business Organisation graduate, was the youngest board director at Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising at the age of 26. He is wellknown in the UK as former Chief Executive of the Football Association.

In December 2002 he became Chief Executive of the Royal Mail Group and spearheads the modernisation of the business. Reminiscing about HeriotWatt Adam said, " I had a fantastic time, it was hard work but good fun. The characteristics that they valued have been very helpful throughout my working life. It's my honour to be nominated for 'Brightest Watt'."

Study Shows E-Learning Tool Developed by Heriot-Watt University Improves Student Performance
Heriot-Watt is more than a place to learn. As a firstclass university, it prides itself on always introducing innovations that positively impact on society. One such innovation is SCHOLAR, an e-learning tool developed especially for secondary students sitting science subjects. An independent study, funded by the Scottish Executive, has concluded that pupils who used SCHOLAR improved their performance in science exams by up to 92%. The study showed that SCHOLAR allowed them the flexibility of learning in their own time, at their own pace, and in their own environment. Users commented that the key benefits of SCHOLAR included the flexibility, assessments, and immediate feedback on offer. Peter Harrison, head teacher at Ollapool High School, has praised SCHOLAR as an essential learning tool that complements curriculum on offer. the

Professor Phillip John, Chair of the Heriot-Watt SCHOLAR Management Board, explains that the programme grew out of teaching and learning strategies developed for the University's undergraduates. As he says, The improvement in exam results as well as positive feedback from pupils and staff have been gratifying!

Schedule your course around your life - not the other way around. Register only for as many or as little courses that you can handle at any one time as your budget and/or timedemands dictate.

Structure of Heriot-Watt Management Programme at B&B

The Heriot-Watt Management Programme is a supported open learning programme offering undergraduate degrees from HWU. Four HWMP Degrees are offered at B&B. These are the BA in Business Administration, Accountancy & Finance, Business & Finance and Management & Psychology. Each degree option is structured in three progressive stages, with each stage comprising four common streams called module sets. Module sets are comprised of either a) two linked subjects covering a particular topic that is worth a total of 30 credits, or b) Two stand -alone subjects that are worth 15 credits each. Students are required to complete two of these standalone subjects to gain the 30 credits required for the completion of a module set. Students who have achieved 360 credits over the period of study are awarded the degree. For all degree options, students may choose any combination of modules in a stage and between stages, providing that the pre-requisites for that particular module are met (there are no pre-requisites for Stage I). As such, it is possible to do as little as one and as much as four (the maximum allowable) modules in any one year. Exemptions can be offered for modules based on the submissions to HWU of the tertiary-level qualifications held and an assessment by that body. However, the total number of exemptions granted is limited to a maxi-

Graduates will be well-prepared for careers in business management, teaching, counselling, nursing, social work, probation work and market research, as well as careers within the psychology profession itself.

Heriot-Watt University Student Testimonials

Jason Julien, Trinidad & Tobago The HWU experience far exceeded my expectations. The quality of the teaching materials was firstclass, as they were well written and effectively communicated the complex concepts. In addition to presenting theory and practice, the authors fostered critical thinking with their narrative. I highly recommend HWU for anyone seeking to equip themselves for the challenges of todays competitive world.

Natalie Jones, Barbados I chose the Heriot Watt University programme based on three criteria: flexibility, popularity and range of programmes available. I liked that this programme did not require me to submit periodic assignments, only self-study and examinations as frequently as my work schedule would permit. Good programme, great flexibility, with online and electronic study resources to help me along the way.

Alfred Okot Okidi, Uganda I have found the Heriot Watt programme to be unique, practical, relevant and so enriching. The programme was quite taxing, as I had to blend my reading with a demanding work schedule. The beauty of the programme to me was in the flexibility of the course and concise course materials presented in stimulating language. I treasure the programme more than all my earlier qualifications and courses.
