Please do log onto this and take part in the activities that are there to help you get off to a flying start on your course and get to know your course colleagues before you arrive on campus. We’re all very friendly and you’ll soon settle in very quickly. Remember, everyone is in the same boat and there are lots of people available to support you! Your Personal Tutor is a key person to get to know in the first few weeks, as they can help with any queries, worries or concerns. Their role is to offer academic advice and guidance throughout your time at university, so you will want to get to know them quickly. In addition, we have a fantastic team of Accounting Student Mentors, who will be able to guide you during induction and offer advice on the wider university experience.

I am delighted to welcome you to the LLB (Hons) Law with Business Law course.

We have lots of fun and engaging activities planned to help you find your way around the School and campus and to enable you to meet your peers and tutors. We’d like to welcome you onto your course and into the Department of Sociology and Criminology. You will be introduced to your tutors and we will let you know how we are going to assist you in your studies.

On Monday, you will be introduced to your course and the course tutors. On Tuesday you will be introduced to some of the services available to you while studying at Birmingham City University. In the morning, there will be talks by the Students Union and the university employability service, Graduate+, while in the afternoon you will be introduced to the university’s library and the Centre for Academic Success, who will provide you with information about how to use the library catalogue and academic databases: skills needed to make sure you are successful during your time studying at BCU. Thursday, the course team will get you thinking like sociologists! This will involve a city tour in the morning, denoting historical and sociological sights of interest, and a sociology themed quiz in the afternoon. Both of these activities have been designed to get to know your course tutors and other students in an informal environment. Lastly, on Friday, you will be given a chance to meet your personal tutors and be provided a guided tour of the Curzon building by a current sociology student.

Welcome to the BA (Hons) Sociology and Criminology with Foundation Year I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the foundation year of the BA (Hons) Sociology and Criminology programme at Birmingham City University and what I hope will be the beginning of a successful academic learning journey within the School of Social Sciences. You are the fourth cohort of students to have the exciting opportunity to study this subject at a foundation level. This year has been designed to provide you with an introduction to the academic disciplines of Sociology and Criminology. In addition to this, you will have the opportunity, throughout the course of the year, to develop skills and abilities which are fundamental to successful undergraduate and post-graduate study as well as employment. I encourage you to make the most of the forthcoming year and you will be expected to actively participate in all of the modules that you will study. This includes participation not only in scheduled learning and teaching activities but also in assessments. We have chosen a broad range of assessments throughout the foundation year. These have specifically been selected to help you prepare for the range of assessments that feature on the undergraduate social science courses which will become available to you upon successful completion of your foundation year. In each module, there will be formative opportunities for you to test your performance prior to attempting your summative assessments. To support you in your successful completion of assessments throughout this foundation year, we encourage you to make the most of the feedback you will receive from your academic tutors and peers throughout each module. As Course Leader, it is my role to ensure that you feel supported by our academic staff, and I will be available throughout the year to provide you with any additional information or advice that you may need. I look forward to personally meeting each one of you over the next academic year. Best of luck with your studies! |
